How can you doubt John?). Don't forget the one he executed was the commander of the city guard in the first season, who betrayed Ned Stark and killed all the bastard children of Robert Baratheon.

If you remember in the very first episode of Game of Thrones, Ned Stark beheaded a deserter from the nights watch because he broke his vow and fled. Ned didn’t do it because he wanted to, he did it because it was law to behead deserters. Jon did the same thing, he didn’t do it because he wanted to, he did it because refusing an order in the nights watch is punishable by death. The guy understood it was punishable by death but didn’t think Jon had the guts to do anything about it. If anything this just proves Jon is more like Ned than any of Ned’s other children. Stannis nodded his head because he saw Ned’s strength and conviction in Jon.

Saying your sorry after you've been put on the block is not going to get you pardoned at almost any time in history. If Jon had changed his mind, it would have undermined his command. You cannot refuse orders and then loudly insult your commander in front of the rest of the troops.
You either mutiny and win, or you shuffle off this mortal coil.

Deanarys killed her man and kinda seemed like a dictator or monarch cause she killed countless masters. I’m not saying she was wrong cuz rules are rules but Jon snow had to kill him. I don’t see anything wrong with what Jon did I knew the whole time he wasn’t going to be moved by that dude cries. He was a coward trying to go against the commander. Even insulted him by saying he can shove it up his bastard ass or somthing like that lol

He has to since he rules a group of criminals and can't show weakness like that and the law says whoever breaks an order must die and Jon Snow followed this law as his father did and this brings us back to what happened in the first episode of the first season when one of the Night's Watch escaped from the Night's Watch just to warn humanity about the white walkers but he was executed by Ned Stark just for breaking the law. The similarity between Jon Snow and Ned Stark warms my heart ❤

And not to be missed, He did it in one stroke like Ned as well. I always laugh because it reminds me of Theon taking 5 strikes and a kick on Ser Rodrik, showing how weak he is.

1. I think the line you were referring to was when Jaqen H'ghar said to Arya, "There is only one God. A girl knows his name. And all men know his gift."
2. Jon Snow was just following the example of Eddard Stark, who said in the very first episode of season 1, "“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.” Jon had to do what he said. Even Rob Stark executed someone in season 2 or 3.
3. Don't forget that it was Jon Stark who gave Arya that sword.

I think Jon may have spared that guy, if he didn't admit to always being afraid. Little good to the Night's Watch if you can't fight, even Sam, the coward of the group has more courage than him.
The same guy that hid with Gilly and baby.

As to your question, the seer did predict poor tidings for Cercei's children... It certainly seems to have come true for Joffrey. Then again, he had it coming to him and made more than enough enemies to ensure his demise. Tommen is a different breed though, he seems quite amicable. Not at all like his brother. In that regard so is his sister. Only time will tell.
One thing is obvious to all though. Cercei is often her own worst enemy and her wanton disregard of others puts everyone in peril. You are right in your comments after the episode, she desperately clings on to her power. Just like Littlefinger said, it is waning now that Margaery is the Queen. She was not fooled for one second when Tommen brought up Casterly Rock as to where that idea came from.

Actually it was Jon Snow who gave it to her. Her father didn't even know until they got to Kings Landing.

In case you missed it/ forgot. That was Jorah Mormont who took Tyrion at the end. He was advisor to Dany for like 3 seasons.

Yes, Arya has a deep emotional connection to her sword. She learned to fight with it, it kept her safe throughout her journey and so on... and most importantly, it was a gift from Jon and it reminds her of Winterfell... it's the last reminder she has.

Arya couldn't bring herself to discard Needle - the one possession that she treasured the most because her father had it made for her.
