I agree that fear is a more powerful emotion than hated (actually fear is the most powerful emotion). Seeing is believing.

Yeah, it was flawed in that she didn't do what Dario Neharis 2.0 suggested and feed them all to the dragons. - Not seriously.

What the Faith Militant doesn't have are swords, armor, and food to feed the people. The Lannisters don't have that either, by the way.

Maybe he will become a wight BEFORE Melisandre resurrects him.

Actually I don't think it's pointless. I think it was for the sole purpose of getting Jon out of the Night's watch with his honor intact. They will declare his watch ended and Melissandre will resurrect him. And he can go deal with whole North and fix this problem.

Would not the surviving…tell the remaining doubters….."hey the White Walker zombies…"

The problem is that while it's easy to kill a character, you can kill a character in one show, it difficult to build a character, it takes multiple seasons to kill a character that people care about.

You will care eventually. Once everybody you care about enough to watch is dead.

The Boltons will be out eventually, but it will be after Melisandre asks the Lord of Light to resurrect Jon and he leaves the Night's watch to be become Lord Stark. The next season will probably be about that fight. Or if they maintain this new, super-slow pace, the season after next will be about that fight. Next…

The Faith Militant have clubs and robes. The Mountain could solo all of them by himself. Hell, Jamie could solo them in his present one-handed condition.

They held a vote to choose the leader, but once chosen, his orders are not up democratic approval.

Very shortsighted. But then those men didn't actually see the wight army. If they had seen them and seen how all whom they kill get up and join their army literally in about 5 minutes time, they would agree with Jon.

Not almost, the Free Folk are just born and grow up north of the wall. Some will be good some will be bad and you will have a few tribes with repulsive cultural practices north of The Wall just like you have a few south of The Wall. The Thennes eat their enemies, the Targayens mate with their full-blooded brothers…

I see not evidence that the wildlings are rapists and murders. They just happen to be from the other side of The Wall.

Co-sign a unit of rapists and murderers looking down on the free-folk because they were born north of The Wall.

If the Mountain can be alive then anybody can still be alive. Oberyn stuck his poison-tipped naginata (sword-tipped spear) in the Mountain so deep that it stood up on it's own.

To me it seems more like a deus ex machina that he died. The Night's Watch is not a democracy.

For me it's more a question of trying to see the future. Unless the ultimate goal of the author is to have Westeros devolved into a bunch of loose unallied tribes. Jon has live past this point. When I look at the political landscape and threats that are coming to Westeros, it looks to me like the only characters…

There is also the fact that contrary to Brienne's spoken words of the death sentence, Renly was not the rightful King, Stannis is the rightful King. Renly was a traitor who tried to steal his brother's birth right.
