Yeah timing and distances have gone out of the window a long time ago.

Has Jon been made King of the North by inheritance or was it more elective? I can't remember.

A little bit of both? He's the last, known, male to have a connection to Ned Stark.

It was basically the other northern nobles the ones that made him king, so I'd say the elective factor has more weight.

I still have no idea who Ed Sheeran is, other than British TV thinks he is a somebody.
He wrote the title song for the Bastard Executionner. Greatest show no one watched :(

Its not elitism. Autotune is objectivily horrible.

The sky is not blue. The blue sky is horrible.

You know why they make even good singers use autotune right? So it is easier to sell bad, propper-up crap to you because you'll consider it normal and "hip" to  listen to some computer-enhanced singing voice.
totally agree.

Yeah, I don't think Bran shownig up (a still crippled, somehow mystical Old Gods prophet thingy Bran at that) changes anything at all in regards to Jon being King. He was made King by proclamation, not by inheritance.

Proclamation through (unintentional) pretense. Enough of the north might have trouble with a targarian lord, especially with another one attacking. But he'll stay king. he has to bone his aunt and use dragons to kill the walkers.

Sansa is annoying and contrarian, and she keeps messing with Jon (not telling him about the knights of the vale, arguing in public). Plus It looks like she's gotten some of Ramsey's cold streak.

Nah, I don't think the North would have any problem at all with the child of Rhaegar and Lyana. She was loved, and he was respected, and its not like the North gives two shits about the Baratheons and sure as hell hates the Lannisters. If there is going to be a united Westeros, who else could possibly rule it than someone who combines Stark and Targaryen blood?

It's almost a little too obvious, really. Jon is King with Daeny his Queen. Tyrion is Hand, and look, he happens to ALREADY be married to Sansa. Littlefinger gets killed by Arya maybe?

Jaime is head of the Lannisters and Casterly Rock after he kills his sister. Or he dies fighting the Walker, more likely.

Leaves Bran as the reigning Stark, Sansa and Tyrion in charge of the Lannisters.

Sansa and Arya are two totally different characters.

They don't even look similar.

Some people noticed that Sansa now has Cersei's hairdo from earlier seasons and she says she learned a lot from Cersei to Jon.

Yeah, Sophie Turner is like 7 feet tall now.
