speaking of which, how is it that literally no one seems to have heard about john snow being killed/resurrected?
varys and tyrion seriously manage a global network of spies, id imagine it would be very much their wheelhouse to pass that one on, given that there were a hundred+ witnesses, and its the literal only possible explanation for john snow no longer being head of the nights watch.
im just saying, its exhausting constantly playing the "well the writers have a lot on their plate" card.
