Stupid Catelyn Stark
Catelyn Stark was a terrible strategist and made things worse for the Starks
(Rewatching Season 2)
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I’ve always found Catelyn Stark to be one of the weakest links in House Stark’s downfall. Her decision to release Jaime Lannister was objectively foolish — she traded a major hostage (that could have been used to bargain for her daughters or end the war) based purely on emotion. She acted without Robb’s consent and undermined his position as King in the North.
It wasn’t just that. Throughout the series, she interferes constantly in military and political matters but rarely brings useful results. Her distrust of Jon Snow may have been human, but it caused unnecessary division. She’s too driven by her feelings and often ignores the bigger picture.
I get that she was written to be a mother first and foremost, but in a world like Westeros, being emotional without foresight was dangerous — and for the Starks, deadly.

Would he have understood Jon’s “decision” having seen Kings Landing in ashes?

Does this line mean that Domeric doesn't exist in the show, or just that he was younger than Ramsay?

Is North of the Wall the safest place to live post-show?
I was thinking about this while I was re-watching the Season 8 ending. If the Night King and the White Walkers wiped North of the Wall of all life for his army, and the White Walkers have been defeated, doesn't that mean everything North of the Wall is dead?
There's no men, no white walkers, no giants, no shadowcats, no grumpkins or snarks, nothing. It's been totally cleansed of life, so wouldn't that make it one of the safest places to go back and repopulate?
There's not even any other opposing Wildling camps to worry about. Whoever is left after all those battles would be the only clans left so there's not even a need to fight a battle for territory. They can just go wherever they want, put down a flag, and claim whatever territory they choose, right?

Just me who preferred the first Daario? I thought the actor was a lot more mysterious and interesting.
