I imagine if they can get over wildlings they can get over a mixed blood kid they've already sworn fealty to.
quote:Too little too late at this point, I think they would rally behind him in order to usurp Cersei. He's a Northerner, they'd like a Northerner on the throne.
So Jon is a Targ. Ned's father and brother were killed by a Targ and the North fought against the Targs during Robert's rebellion, right? So what happens if/when the North finds out about Jon being a Targ?

Jon is a son of the north who is true to his heritage. His parentage will have no negative impact in the north.
In fact he now is the clear white knight to the evil in cerci.

Lyanna def said his name was Aegon. Read her lips.
quote:
quote:Did Rhaegar and Ellia have a child named Aegon in the show? If not, Aegon and Jon's stories could be merging in the show kinda-sorta.
Why would Lyanna name her child Aegon when Rhaegar's existing son was already named Aegon? That seems confusing. Granted, Baby Aegon was dead by then but it still seems confusing.
quote:Yes.
Soooo Danaerys is Jon Snow's aunt?
quote:it better be.
So the whole Prince that was Promised has to be Jon right? "Born beneath a bleeding star." Ned lays Dawn, made from the heart of a fallen star, against the bed of Lyanna. And Lyanna repeats promise me Ned over and over.
quote:
There were three ways the guests of the Red Wedding were killed: by crossbow fire, by being stabbed in the gut, and by having their throats slit.
Tywin Lannister was killed by crossbow fire. Roose Bolton was stabbed in the gut. Walder Frey had his throat slit.
You're absolutely right. You reap what you sow.

quote:Yep. It will take Littlefinger about 10 minutes of manipulation to have the North and the KotV turn on Jon. Littlefinger can't be trusted but he's a winner - he's undefeated in the show. Jon Snow/Blackfyre is a 3 time loser (bailed out by Stannis, Melisandre, KotV).
Hot take: this is going to come down to Varys vs Littlefinger in the end. Everyone else is just pawns in their game. They've been at the center of everything so far, beginning in King's Landing on the council, and now they have control of Dany and the South (Varys) vs the North and the Vale (Littlefinger). They are the only ones that can tie all the houses together -- Varys now has Dany, Dorne and Highgarden. Littlefinger after tonight can manipulate all of the houses in the North with the King of the North via Sansa (my thought is he can and will still unknowingly manipulate her) as well as the Vale.
quote:No, he burned his hands in season 1 when throwing that lantern at the wight
So does this mean Jon can be unburnt? Maybe an episode where he accidentally falls in fire and comes out ok...
#mindblown
quote:Sansa is clearly behind Jon and doesn't trust Littlefinger. She is concerned about what LF will do to cause Jon's downfall, so I think she will reverse course and choose to be with LF in order to protect Jon. She's certainly not innocent anymore, so she will probably go as far as seducing LF and maybe even helping him do some bad stuff (please make Sweetrobin fly!), all so she can gain his trust and ultimately turn the tables on him. The student will become the master. LF will die, Jon will rule the north, and Sansa will end up running the Vale.quote:Yep.

And Littlefinger is on the record now saying what he really wants - the iron throne with Sansa at his side
quote:I dig the idea of Jon's Targ blood being revealed by a blast of Drogon's fire. I would love to see that, but I think it's a longshot.
This episode proves it doesn't matter if he is a *******, he is a Targ and they will follow him.
My prediction:
Bran comes in and tells the story. People are suspicious, but John will Lead a battle against Dany. She will land Drogon right in front of him, blast him with fire. All that will be there is a naked alive John and a flaming valirian sword. Battle ends and John and Dany are united.
