But what right did he have to promote Edd? Then again, the Night's Watch only has about 30 active members left probably by now.

My understanding of it is that the commander can elect an interim commander until the elected commander returns or the Watch holds a vote to elect a new commander.
But Jon didnt necessarily make Edd the new commander. He told Edd to wear the cloak, burn it, or do whatever. Jon is leaving it up to Edd and the Watch because he is done with it, and doesnt care about the Watch's politics anymore.
But if he was the commander, his watch wouldn't have ended.![]()
"The Castle is yours" implies that though.
Edd would be an interim until the men either officially elect him or elect someone else. That is if the men decide to bother with that. And whether the men recogbize Jon's decision to leave Edd in charge.
I suppose they could ignore it if they wanted to.
So the title of the episode Oathbreaker, refers to Jon breaking his oath?
Because if he is still the Lord Commander after his resurrection, that means his Watch didn't end, or do Undead people get this "get out of jail" card that i'm unaware of?
I did like how there was kind of an echo between Thorne's last words to Jon about how he'd have to keep fighting battles after Thorne was dead and Dayne's own similar comments to Ned. Both were changed a bit by context, but there was genuine respect in both.
Olly pushed his luck. Killing Ygritte was fair. She took out his old man. Jon let that slide. But treason? Gurl please.![]()
Jon and Arya is the big one. No doubt. Then Jon and Bran and Arya and Sansa. But the oddity has always been Jon and Sansa. Which is why I want to see it so.
Yes, it will be joyous. Because damnit, the original title for the final book was A Time for Wolves. It will be glorious!!!!
He died so his vows were fulfilled. It cant be spelled out anymore clearly than this.
Hope Sansa legitimizes Jon. And he becomes Jon Stark. Jon would recognize her as queen in the north since everyone else is MIA.
