Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 25

they literally brought it up last week, there was a bran flashback with lyanna
they're absolutely teasing it

 

There is going to be an extended flashback showing a battle between Ned and Rhaegar, which is where Lyanna was captive and (supposedly) pregnant. It has been strongly implied over the last few seasons to the point where the show all but confirmed it out loud.

 

Yeah. Wasn't it Hardhome that all but confirmed it last season by having Tyrion and Dany talk about things and then immediately flashing to Jon or am I getting it confused? It might've taken place earlier in the season.

 

Hmm...I def remember that being a big issue of the Dance for sure, but even that was about two legitimate heirs born of two different queens. Aegon II was a legitimate son and so was....whoever the princess/queen is who's name I'm forgetting haah

 

The son of a Targ and a Stark would probably never be labeled a bastard, anyway. You almost have to legitimize the child considering the parentage. Which would've been a lot of enmity between the Martells and Starks had the war turned out differently. Feel like most bastards in Westeros are highborn father and lowborn mother.

This is all definitely speculation, but typically the son of an heir outranks the younger sibling of the heir, so Jon, if R+L is true, would've been third in line (if legitimized) before the Mountain killed Elia and her children.

 

He would have been behind the son, but not the daughter (assuming the son was older than he is)

 

Yeah, Rhaegar and the son were first and second in line in my thinking.

 

If they were married in secret (which I think is possible because I'm pretty sure there was details saying they were into each other) he wouldn't be a bastard and therefore the most legitimate heir I do believe. I also think finding out he's not a Bastard will be more important to him than his name or claim.

 

First point: if Elia's son is older, he's still behind him.
Second point: totally agree.

 

Rhaegar was already married and by most laws of westeros any other marriage would be invalid unless the first ended. Unless we want to accept the reinstitution of Aegon's polygamy.

 

If elia's son is alive. The show isn't or hasn't done that plot line. In the books it's still a mystery if it's actually him.

 

flying through s3 and this is my favorite scene omg

 

Ned doesn't fight Rhaegar at TOJ

 

damn i am slipping all over the place today

 

Robert kills Rhaegar at the Trident. Ned (and six others) confronts three Kingsguards at the TOJ - Ser Hightower, Ser Dayne, and Ser Whent.

Damn this is making me want to pull out my giant "World of Ice and Fire" book that I never look at. Anyone want me to look something up? Lol

 

Stennis is Robert's gay brother with that blonde Lannister dude, Lancel

 

smh

 

I mean at least he was close haha. To be fair there's so many damn characters it's hard to keep track.

 

I am so ready for TOJ this week, along with reactions of the people to what happened at the end of the last episode.

 

I am well aware there is going to be TOJ flashback this coming week, and I look forward to seeing more flashbacks, but I just don't think it necessarily means we are going to find out what a lot of people are assuming.
From a narrative perspective, I just think it would be a mistake to reveal that information at this particular moment IMO

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Jon's character has evolved.
Death is such an important element on this show and for that reason I feel like there has to be a personal consequence to it.
Sticking Longclaw through Olly's heart would be a good way to start!

 

A

As satisfying as it would be to see that I don't think he's going to change quite that much. I am anxious to see what his frame of mind is on Sunday. Double anxious to see the look on Alliser's face when he sees Jon.

 

I think I'm most excited about seeing what kind of state Jon Snow will be in post-resurrection.

Also, I'm curious to know what role Ghost played while he was dead and during his resurrection.

 

Well he's out of the Watch for sure now because he "died", so unless he takes the vows again, he can do whatever he wants. My vote is he heads North!

What do you mean about Ghost? Wasn't he just there the entire time?

 

Yeah but I've read that some people think he may have played some kind of role with the way they kept panning to him. I personally just think it's because Ghost could sense when Jon started to reanimate.
