    Snow is Rhaegar Targaryans son. Ned stark covered for his sister Lyanna and claimed him as his bastard to protect him from King Robert who would have killed John for both being a Targaryen and out of spite because Rhaegar got to fuck the only woman Robert truly loved.

    FIFY
    I'm drunk.

    the shows has done a lot of good with other plot lines. mereen is WAY better, tyrion takes for fucking ever to get there, he meets a bunch of random people on the way that you don't really care about. i think he joins a circus or something at one point. the show fucked up dorne pretty bad, and myrcella shouldn't be dead, but whatever. it's been a pretty good trade off of better/worse, the show might be better than the books just for the brevity. martin is so long winded in some places

    I think this is why the show is leaving out Young Griff.... Jon Snow is the other Targaryean still remaining besides Danerys.

    It is why in the show they made a point of having Tyrion point out to Danerys that she is the last Targaryean remaining.

    Delving much deeper into complete dork mode, one of the crackpot theories out there is that Tyrion is secretly a Targaryen; the result of the Mad King raping Tywin's wife (and cousin) Joanna during a visit to the Rock, shortly after rejecting Tywin's proposal to betroth Cersei to Rhaegar. Even for being a total dick, Tywin seemed to have an exceeding hatred of Tyrion aside from simply blaming him for killing his mother during birth and always referred to Tyrion as some sort of personal humiliation. This would also give his betrayal of Aerys during the Sack of King's Landing more of a revenge motive.

    Someone has to be the third head of the dragon. Dany and Jon are 1 and 2.

    Tyrion seems to be getting set up as the third. People have also guessed Bran and Arya, but I doubt they'd have 2 Starks. And neither of them has any Targaryen blood. I wonder how they would explain his back story. Or if they would. The show might just give him some special role (he learns how to command the dragons from reading a book) that makes him useful. I'd rather have the rape backstory. It would make Tywin's actions a lot more understandable.

    Tyrion has the hair and wits of a Lannister. Tywin just hated him because he viewed him as inferior (and possibly blaming him for the Joanna's death).

    Tywin had plenty of motivation for turning against Aerys. Essentially holding Jaime hostage (in addition to refusing Cersei's betrothal to Rhaegar) was a huge deal.

    Taking Jamie away as the heir to Casterly Rock, you mean

    DJ needs to develop a Game of Thrones bored so we can have a safe place away from bullies to talk about the show in the most nerdly way possible. It should be password encypted and you can only enter the bored by answering certain questions about the books.

    The fact that I was the only one in a 3 page thread to mention Natalie Dornan's tits tells me you're all gay nerds.

    Now more than ever: Such fag, nerds.
