My apologies to George Lucas...

viZion: [trying to sound official] Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.

I, Brian: What happened?

viZion: [getting nervous] Uh, we had a slight posting malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

I, Brian: We're sending a mod up.

viZion: Uh, uh... negative, negative. We have a thread leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.

I, Brian: Who is this? What's your operating number?

viZion: Uh... [viZ shoots his keyboard]

viZion: [muttering] Boring conversation, anyway.... verv! We've got company!

Hm, I really only skimmed over the recent discussion about ravens and crows. Did anyone happen to mention that maybe Mormont had warging abilities and went into his raven right before he was killed?

You have merit here because Mormont cannot pass the sword on to his own son because he is forbidden to have any, but he can pass the sword on to a "brother". 'Honor the steel with deeds not words..' Valyrian steel is priceless and no one would bury a relative with one. What else is Mormont suppose to do with it? It was given to Mormont because he was probably the last one of his family with a shred of honor since Jorah shamed the mormont house by selling the poachers instead of giving them to the Night's Watch. Valyrian steel in ASOIAF are not just fancy swords with an eternal edge but something more. Mormont was grooming Jon for command of the Night's Watch and he felt the sword should remain with someone honorable and worthy of it. Jon proved his worthiness by quick thinking in destroying the wight in AGOT, bravery in the face of an enemy the seems to be unkillable, etc.
