Jon Snow And James Holden Are Constantly Being Drafted To Save The World

They are good men who mean well. But neither one asked to be a savior of the universe, and sometimes it's pretty clear they shouldn't have the jobs. Both Js do tend to get themselves and others into trouble. They manage to live through that trouble, but if you look behind them, there are a lot of bodies in their wakes. Jon is a warrior, but his Game of Thrones battle track record is actually pretty awful. He never actually wins anything, it's others who swoop in to save him. The Expanse's Holden tends to insert himself into situations, makes them public, and then leaves others to clean up the mess. He gets the crew of the Rocinante into all kinds of shenanigans, and it leads to a massive intergalactic war. He becomes known throughout the galaxy as a guy who keeps stepping in trouble, and sometimes The Powers That Be use him for that. Stop putting these guys in charge!
