Whiskey, the liquor most likely to appear in British-esque medieval high fantasy, doesn't seem present - really, no spirits do. Obviously they have beer/ale and wine but I don't think we've ever seen liquor.

Rum exists.

It's weird to send two of your most respected leaders, Tormund and Styr, in the front lines of a scouting mission. Especially since they were probably expecting there to be way more crows than they actually had.

Remember that Tormund lost what seemed like half his men when part of the wall sheered off during the climb. Not to mention Jon and the direwolves thinning that group out further, including their warg.

It's less that Ned is bad than the institutions that Ned is enmeshed in are bad. He does he duty with nobility and grace executing a deserter, but the dead man could hardly be blamed for being so frightened and his early warning goes mostly unheeded. Bran and Jon are picking up that pieces of that mess now. In trying to do the right thing, Ned becomes inflexible; figuratively bound by his honor. Pure intentions manipulated into a noose around his neck, and maybe around Westeros too.
