Game of Thrones

A lot of nerding out in here.

Yeah there is.

I have not watched any of this series with regularity. Caught a few minutes here and there a couple years ago, never got into it.

all i know is they better show us sunday through a bran vision.

Won't happen I don't think, not anytime soon because it is THE question of the show. Apparently they are going to show the fight between Eddard Stark and Sir Arthur Dane. It also has Barriston Selmy on Dane's side too from what I remember.

Supposedly Jon Snow is the son of Eddard and Sir Arthur Dane's sister, Ashara Dane.

I just don't think they are going to vary the show significantly from the books on this plot line.

The whole thing with Jon being the son of Rhaegar is just too obvious to me.

In the books:
- Rhaegar's son is actually alive, the mountain didn't kill him and Varys hid him away like he does with Tyrion in the TV show. I wouldn't be surprised if that storyline gets put in somehow
-Jon shares a wet nurse with Gendry who is Robert Baratheon's bastard son. I don't see that happening if Jon is Rhaegar's child. Robert Baratheon wanted to kill every child from that bloodline. Granted, none of that is mentioned in the show and I guess it is possible if Ned claims that Jon is his son with Ashara Dane.
-Jon has the same abilities as Arya and the other Stark kids, to go into the minds of the wolves. They have dreams about them. They kill people as wolves. It is all played down in the show with all characters except for Bran. In the book Arya is a vicious killer that goes into her wolf at night and rips people apart all over the countryside during the war. That is a Stark trait.

There is going to be a curveball, I can't see what it is yet but it is buried in there somewhere.

I think the whole RR Martin "gotcha" is Ned thought he was Rhaegar's child, but turns out he's really Robert's

I thought it is pretty clear that Jon Snow is not the bastard child of Eddard Stark, but the child of Lyanna Stark (Eddard's sister and Robert Baratheon's first wife). She died during some battle during the big rebellion. Eddard was there during the death but Robert was in King's Landing. I would think Robert is NOT the father. Father was Rhaegar Targaryen who kidnappede Lyanna and took her to some tower in dorne (i think).

Something in one of the first episodes about Eddard discovering her in a pool of blood in her last breaths. So she probably died in child birth so Eddard lies and says it is his bastard son to protect the child of his sister as Robert Baratheon would have had it killed and likely all kinds of hot water for every Stark.

If he is a Baratheon, then than means it was actually Robert's child, thus the rightful heir to the throne (post rebellion). If that is the case why would Ed not have given Robert his child as Robert actually loved Lyanna (unlike Cersei) and would have raised him to be heir.

Hell, he is still the rightful heir to the throne pre-rebellion too, as he would be the next Targaryen descendant too (over Daenerys being male and all).

Seems too obvious to me, old George rr Martin is probably leading everyone on, snow has black hair and that means Baratheon.

yup, i'm on your side here, he's all Baratheon

That character is most definitely a Targ, and probably one of the more talked about theories aside from Snows King bloodline.

[Torinoman]

Maybe. But Danny and her brother are/were toeheaded blondes.

As for Bran warging Jon Snow, I don't think so. He can warg animals and simple minded Hodor. He can't warg a dead body into life. Though I do think Bran will eventually warg a dragon to kill the ice king.

My wife came up with a theory about who else has dragons blood... I'm going to post it in white just in case some of you guys don't want to see it.

We obviously know that Khaleesi has dragons blood... and most of us are pretty sure John snow has dragons blood too. Well... Tyrion went down to unchain the dragons and they didn't do anything. My wife thinks that he might be a bastard of the mad king. All of the Lanisters have blonde hair but Tyrion doesn't. Plus my wife said something about each of them having a dragon.

What do you guys think?

[abecx]

Plus he has been afk for a year or whatever in his hyperbolic time chamber, maybe he can animate the dead seeing as he can see through dead peoples eyes (right?) in the opening scene.

[Unicorn Jeff]

he warged Hodor, remember?

fml.... forgot all about that.

[Silverback]

Errrrmm I don't think he was. I thought it was animals only... which if he has dragons blood would make him part animal?

[Unicorn Jeff]

Does anyone else think it was Bran controlling Jon Snow?
