I hear you on this, but is there also not language in the books (I think I remembered this from book 1) that Lyanna Stark had a different look from Ned, including darker hair and a more horsey looking face and that Arya and Jon looked more like her than Catlyn?

I think you are right.

Really what makes me wonder about this not the hair, it is the golden company storyline. Makes no sense for that dude to show up unless they are just setting up a brother sister spat. Possible I suppose but seems simplistic.

Has nothing to do with the Targs and everything to do with the Baratheons. Every Baratheon has black hair.

With that logic wouldn't all the starks be dark headed too though?

There is a curve ball coming. That was all way too easy.

There is a reason why Jon has black hair and all the Targs are white blonde. In the books the black hair meant they were Baratheon children. They put that in the show too, remember the book that Ned is reading in the very first season.

Secondly, I was very surprised that they mentioned the whole Golden Company storyline, that has been neglected on the show. That mercenary company is hired by Rhaegar's son that was supposedly killed by the mountain. Varys substituted a peasant child for him before King's Landing was taken in the war. He would have a stronger claim to the throne than Dany. But his name was Aegon.

It makes no sense that Jon would have black hair, be called Aegon and then they would have another Aegon show up on the show.

In short, something is not what it appears to be.

One explanation for the hair is that the targaryans all.bred with eachother, leading to them all having white blond hair.

Generations of compound inbreeding have preserved in the Targaryen bloodline the classic Valyrian features of silver-white (platinum blonde) hair, and very fair, pale skin.*

Now new blood has entered that gene pool, leading to variation.

When you think about it, that's the only possible way it could happen. Had he had white blond hair, he would have been killed as soon as Robert found out back when he was a baby.

Hasn't stopped the Lanisters...

Or the Targeryens.

IMO and I say this with the fact that I have binged watch the entire series in the last 2 months. I hadn't watched it before and decided to hell with it and start watching it the first few season were better and I can see how the last season or so suffered. But I'm betting the last season will be totally badass and worth some of the down seasons. Just have to wait and see

I've been watching all of it the last month and its so damn confusing, I don't even really like it, but I've got so much time invested, I have to finish it. Its crossed my mind to watch it over again so it will make more sense and maybe Ill like it,but I don't know...

I mean... I would.

Think John is still going to smash his aunt once he finds out?

Great episode. It's really cool to see so many of these people in the same scenes. The high light for me was Littlefinger going out like a bitch. Almost made that annoying Arya vs Sansa storyline worth it.
