Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Questions We're Asking After 'Book Of The Stranger'

4. What Will Happen To The Watch?

Despite the huge threat that lies beyond it, the Night's Watch feels like an afterthought right now. We're spending more time than ever at Castle Black, but hardly any of it is concerning the actual state of the Watch, or members of it. Instead, it's Southerners such as Davos, Melisandre, and Brienne, a Stark girl, and the former Lord Commander who are the focus of attention, with Dolorous Edd the token member we're following (and even he is wrapped up in Jon's business).

As such, we don't really know what's happening with the Watch - are they going to elect a new Lord Commander? And going forwards, there's also the question of just how much time we'll even spend there without a main character to anchor it (as much as I like Edd).
