| May 21, 2019 at 16:23 | comment | added | Mohair | @NuclearWang It's based on watching the show. They often talked about how numbers were dwindling, and how only three of 19 castles on the wall were manned. There were only about a dozen left, by their own count, when Jon ordered them to abandon the wall. That Wildlings appeared to be in control of Castle Black when Jon arrived at the end implies that there are no NW members to man it. No commander or subordinate met Jon when he arrived, which implies that neither exists. If the NW can't man their primary castle, then it's safe to say the NW no longer exists. | |
| May 21, 2019 at 15:59 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | @Mohair Your supposition that every member of the Night Watch is dead is based on what, exactly? We've seen a high body count for pretty much every military force (Unsullied, Dothraki, Northmen, etc.) but none of them have been eradicated entirely, so I don't see why the Night Watch would be any different. All the named characters in the Night Watch died, but that's a tiny fraction of the whole group. | |
| May 21, 2019 at 15:47 | comment | added | Mohair | @NuclearWang The Night Watch may not have been disbanded, but there are no surviving members. Furthermore, the mission of the Night Watch is no longer relevant, so unless they are given a new mission, there is no purpose for the Night Watch. | |

| May 21, 2019 at 15:31 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | There wasn't really anything to suggest that the Night's Watch has been disbanded. Rather, the very fact that everyone agreed that Jon would take the black indicates quite the opposite. In the final episode, Tyrion specifically says "The world will always need a home for bastards and broken men," after Jon asks if there is still a Night's Watch. The second half of this answer is incorrect. | |
