[SPOILERS] The Night’s Watch is actually terrifying?

I’ve seen the whole show, but I’m still on the third book. I lost interest in reading for a little while but I recently picked it back up. I just finished the chapter where TNW is at their final night at Craster’s, and a few men kill Craster and Mormont. As I was reading, I realized just how terrified I would be if I were Sam. Someone who is already not a leader at all, in the middle of these freezing cold, dead-people infested woods past any safety he’s ever known (the wall), and now he has to fend for himself. It just really put into perspective how terrifying it would be to have the one sure thing you’ve known, the command and authority you have found a “family” in, to - in an instant for him - be turned into a bloodbath. Also, I feel like the show makes it feel like Craster and the Wall are super close, but in the book I really get a sense of how far everything is. It’s just crazy to me.

Just a thought.
