If Jon never left winterfell

If Jon Snow never joined the night's watch and stayed in winterfell when Ned left to King's Landing would this completely shift the course of the war post Ned's execution?

What do you all think? If Jon marched with Rob, would he die at the red wedding too? Or do you believe Jon could influence the war enough to actually make it to King's Landing?

Who would have fared better: Jon in Robb's position during Seasons 2 and 3 with the Freys, or Robb in Jon's position during Seasons 6 and 7, circa Battle of the Bastards and the Long Night?

Who do you think would have handled these switched positions better:

Jon, taking Robb's position shortly after the capture of Jaime Lannister, dealing with the Karstarks, the Frey's wedding ultimatum
Robb, taking Jon's position shortly after being resurrected, the trust of the Wildlings already earned, confronting Ramsey, negotiating with Daenerys and confronting the Long Night

"The thing missing from Game of Thrones is a good soundtrack"

From a housemate I'm doing a watch through with. Please advise on how to dispose of his body.

Early seasons were SO good!

Having seen and slogged through the final season a good while back.

I finally started a full rewatch.

S1 is absolutely brilliant 🌟🌟

Great to relive the original thrill after all the years.

Sean Bean was just perfectly cast, all the ensemble have excellent taut dialogue and no scene feels unnecessary throughout. Falling in love with GoT all over again is a great feeling I must say.... ❤️😊

Trivia: In 2017, James Gunn included Game of Thrones Season 7 on his list of his favorite TV series of that year.

You are just crowned king of Westeros. How are you choosing as your small council

you can choose anyone who lived after Robert's rebellion.
dont necessarily have to concede with the canon. for eg you can have Jon Arryn and Samwell Tarly in the council at the same time.
my council would be;
Varys: master of whisperers
Balon Greyjoy: master of ships
Tywin Lannister: master of coins
~~Robert Baratheon (before he become a drunken man): lord commander of kings guard~~
Just remembered that there is no way robert would take kingsguard oath so instead i am choosing jamie lannister
Master Aemon: grand maester
Ned Stark: master of laws
Tyrion Lannister: hand of the King

Question about Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, from a complete noob

Hey everyone! Thought this would be the best place to ask this question

So, I saw an ad for "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" on Sky and it really intrigued me. It gave me Kingcome Come: Deliverance vibes and looked like a genuinely cool show.

However, I know absolutely nothing about Game of thrones (besides the final seasons bad reception and stuff like that).

So my question is, can I watch this show completely blind to the surrounding lore or is this something I need to be familiar with the rest of the GOT series / setting without getting confused and to actually enjoy?

Thanks and hope this isn't too dumb a question lmao

Okay, about Stannis and Selyse’s three sons that died…why are the fetuses suspended in liquid held in glass jars? Seriously wtf?

Each time I’ve watched and rewatched that episode, seeing those pickled babies just absolutely throws me. Am I missing something?

Tywin's plan for the North doesn't make sense.

I have recently been watching the TV show and have become very confused. Tywin marries Tyrion to Sansa, so they can have the heir to the North, but what does he expect to happen when they actually ride North?

The Northmen all blame the Lannister's for murdering Ned and Rob. He knows Sansa hates all the Lannisters. So why wouldn't they just kill Tyrion the second Sansa and he ride North to take control?

Or does he expect Sansa to birth a golden haired Lannister boy. They then raise that boy to act like a Lannister and then ride North and then just expect the North to accept this boy that acts and looks nothkng like a Stark? I mean I know they are loyal to the Starks, but seems like they'd see exactly what was happening and fight against it despite it beinf Sansa's child. I mean they questioned and doubted Robb who looked and acted like a Stark the whole time. Is it just me or does this plan make no sense. Am I missing something?
