A Song of Ice and Fire - spoilers

[Ham]

Ned ain't John's Daddy. No way , no how. I think John is Ned's sister's kid by way of her Targarian captor. I kinda suspect that Dany and John end up together. John's gotta get up off the ground after having been stabbed a bunch though. I hope dragons get along with Dire wolves.

After this weekend I will post my theory.

But we do know or have reason to believe,Rhaegar did not take Lyanna captive, They fell in love and she went with him, think of it as eloping. Lyanna was no typical woman and there is much speculation she was actually the (Knight of the Laughing Tree). Rhaegar was actually sent to find the knight but could not. This is highly suspicious as his tracking abilities and honor was well known so him not finding the knight is interesting.

With his quest to fulfill the prophecy of the "Prince that was Promised" and not being able to have any more kids with Elia it maes since that had he discovered Lyanna to be that knight that is why he named her "Queen of love and beauty", Shortly after the "alleged kidnapping took place" I find it very hard to believe Lyanna could be abducted without a fight and a fight would surely bring others.

Further there is hinting that They Married in front of a Heart Tree with Sir Arthur Dayne and Oswell Went present and Barristan Selmy later states Rhaegar loved Lyanna (Only way he could know that is Rhaegar told him ) before the trident.

As to Jon, They better do Pink Letter my god that would be sacrilege not to, but its very late in this season for them to do it then FOR THE WATCH in the same show. EP 10 this weekend and don't see how they can do both in an hour. But he needs to learn something come on 50 episodes and he is still the biggest idiot around.

Also for EP 10 how are they going to do Dany's Drogon Layer and creek as well as Quaithe to meeting Darth's in such a short time? They could but already in the trailer I have seen to much to be able to do both those stories true justice unless they carry them through to next season.

But Arya will Kill Meryn Trant, I know the HBO fans hate her this year (or more her storyline) but the show is sticking pretty close to the Mercy Chapter and I love it.

Are you fellows o.k., or should someone call to get you some help?

[Ham]

In regards to Arya, she is also habitually screwed like Sansa, but her response to it is much different. I really don't pay any attention to the opinions of HBO viewers. I wouldn't know where to look to see that stuff and I have no interest in doing so.

Her story has been interesting, but I wish they had not had the character she met on the road be her trainer at the termple. I might have missed it reading the book, but I thought it was a totally different character she met at the temple.

[Feathers and Fins]

Same person just wearing a different face lol.

Oh Ham you should go read the reviews its hilarious. Facebook Game of Thrones ill send you the link I love reading them and laughing at them.

Sansa story has pissed me off most, HELLO ITS JANES story. But I can kinda see where its going with the Littlefinger master plan in mind.

[Ham]

Same person just wearing a different face lol.

I knew they swapped faces, but it seems unlikely that while homeboy is stuck in the brig in Westeros that no one is minding the temple. There would have to be a bigger crew than that.

Yeah, I got no idea who Littlefinger is gonna end up screwing harder than the rest. I also have no idea why Cersei would not have had him killed when he hinted at her humping Jamie.

What's your best guess at who sent the assassin to kill Bran while he was in a coma?

[Feathers and Fins]

Joffrey

[moguy1973]

The last two episodes were great.

[Ham]

Joffrey

Really, he was a moron. I'm surprised he could get that figured out. Why would he want to have Bran killed? Just being cruel, again?

[Lancer09]

Agreed. It was joffrey solely because Bran beat him . In the yard.
i know that R+L is probably the most likely, I'd actually prefer he be Neds and Ashara Daynes who killed herself by throwing herself out of a tower when she lost a child's. Or it was to help keep the secret.
however based on the timing of the history it almost has to be rhaegar and lyanna. But of John and Dany hook up its just more of the incest thing, but it could work out well as opposed to the lannisters who basically started a continental war because of it.
the dragons are essential to fighting the others, but Jon is essential to Dany getting the support she needs.

The other theory for the Knight of the laughing tree is that it was Reed (cant remember first name) . Ned describes him to his children as small, skilled, and pretty much has ceased contact with the outside world. He also saved Ned at the Tower of Joy.
Dialogue referenced regarfing that battle further supports the timeline that Jon is really R+L in the tower, and the kings guard while knowing of Rhaegar death continue the secret to their own.
these next two books are going to be insanely awesome but i think the history that will be brought up through thwm will be the best part.

Question. How do you think Jon survives the stabbing? His wounds are described as smoking in the cold, not steaming. Everything grrm writes has a purpose. I think this means something.
