Thank you for your service. 

Yes, she basically just woke up.  I don’t think we saw her again after that.

ACTUALLY, she returned as a wight, not a white walker *pushes up glasses and snivels off to be pedantic in another comment thread*

Why would you think it would be safer for spoilers in the comments?

“One of the sources incorrectly predicted Lyanna Mormont would return as a white walker”

Honestly just a “you fought bravely and this isn’t your fight so go live happily in the north and do your thing i love you” would have been perfect and used no more money. I hate these showrunners lol

Lucky he’s going with Tormund then; Ghost’ll go through a hell of a growth spurt once he gets hooked up with a decent supply of giant’s milk. 

I would have been happy with the old tearful “Go on, get out of here” dog break up speech.

Shit, THAT’S where Ghost should end up. “Hi, room for another wolf here? Turns out Jon’s an incest-loving douchecanoe and I could use better company. Oooooh, is that mutton?”

I don’t know. The writing is all over the place.

Couldn’t they have just had Ghost die valiantly in episode 3 tho? Like why even bring him back just to be discarded? Jon sucks.

Both of whom lost their wolves, by the way, and would likely love to care for another.

It’s not like he has TWO SIBLINGS AT WINTERFELL to take care of Ghost, jesus christ Jon

Me: Man, that Cersei, she’s so eeeevil.

ummm...you know that is more or less the plot of this season, right?  Jon’s going to bro out north of the wall (“You don’t know NADA , John bro!”) in a giant man-cave that’s a cave.  Then Tormund gets on a dating show, and Sam starts selling sneakers, and they only ever refer to Gilly as “Sam’s Wife” for seven seasons…

Ghost gets ghosted. Couldn’t possibly have just let him stay at Winterfell, which is plenty northern-y for a wolf.  This guy gets more douchey every week.

It was either this or death by Euron’s Magic Stealth Fleet.

I was also extremely upset they could at least have Jon giving Ghost a freaking hug or a “good dog” pat on the head. FFS are they that low in the CGI budget or whatever. 

I've encountered similar phenomena, and the answer I've gotten is usually something along the lines of "That sumbitch is one hell of a guitar player".
