IT WAS STUPID FOR JON SNOW TO GO BEYOND THE WALL TO CAPTURE A WIGHT! BUT, IF HE DIDN’T DO THAT, THEY COULDN’T PROVE ANYTHING TO CERSEI! HE COULD HAVE JUST EXECUTED A PRISONER IN A CAGE FROM THE SAFETY OF CASTLE BLACK AND WAITED FOR HIM TO TURN! BUT, THE NIGHT KING COULD HAVE JUST NOT ALLOWED THAT PRISONER TO TURN! IF THE NIGHT KING COULD DO THAT, HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE MAGIC OUT OF THE WIGHT THEY DID CAPTURE!
