Game Of Thrones Season 6: 11 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Oathbreaker'

11. Is There A Future For The Night's Watch?

With the impending threat of the White Walkers, the Night's Watch has never been so important since the early days after its inception. At the same time, however, its future has perhaps never looked so in doubt.

4 of its members have just been killed for mutiny, while their Lord Commander was murdered, resurrected, and has now left. He handed the cloak to Edd, saying he could wear it or burn it.

Will Dolorous Edd simply take over the running of Castle Black, be elected Lord Commander, and things remain as they are? At the very least you'd expect Davos, Melisandre, and some of the key wildlings (so Tormund, basically) to accompany Jon, so will the show return to the Wall without any central characters based there? Is this all going to be a moot point when the White Walkers approach, and the Wall comes down?
