So in your formulation who’s the 999th Lord Commander? Marsh or Mallister, perhaps? Cotter Pyke is going to die at Hardhome, Janos Slynt is dead, Alliser Thorne is missing and probably dead, so who’s left as a viable candidate? I’d imagine that this LC would be the one when the Wall falls. Accepting that Jon is (at least temporarily) dead, is there even any chance of an actual election being held before all-out war ensues between loyalists, Marsh and co., the queen’s men, and the free folk?
