Not to mention that a good portion of the population won’t like that Jon Snow was banished for doing what most would have to see as saving their cities from being burned.
I have to agree.


Plus Jon isn't actually at the Night's Watch. He seems to be just free roaming and unsupervised up North. It's only a matter of time until he meets some wildling girl and gets caught up building an army of wildings.

Some ambitious son from one of the other houses is going to want to take over eventually. Things are fine now, but will change when the houses build themselves back up and you have 10 heirs all wanting more. I can't see the ironborn accepting rule, when the Starks don't have to.

I think that's kind of the point of the show though. It was kind of a wire type resetting, where new people fill the old niches. And Dany, as the mad ruler, was just another part of the wheel she tried to break.
