What doesn't make sense to me is the theory that Tyrion is a Targaryen. Cersei and Jaime being the result of the "liberties" at the wedding, sure. But Tyrion was born much later.

This website made it make more sense to me. Yay for crazy theories!

The Jon theory is literally the only thing that makes sense with him. It would make sense with Tyrion as well since Tywin hated him so much, even if he tried to save face a few times. That would bake the three headed dragon Dany, Jon, and Tyrion. I like it.

I've never heard of the Cersei/Jamie theory, and I don't think it makes sense unless Tywin didn't find out.

I've heard the Robb theory and I like it. It may interconnect with Bran, which would be cool. They need to do something interesting with him.

But Tywin was Hand to the Mad King for eleventy years. If he and his wife were at the Red Keep, it wouldn't be hard for an affair to result in Tyrion. I frmly believe Tyrion is the Targaryen, I don't think that Jamie and Cersei are - Tywin wanted everything to go to the twins, but has frequently denied Tyrion as his son and/or heir to Casterly Rock even though Jamie is clearly not able to inherit.

Agreed. The twins being Targaryen's makes absolutely no sense to me.

But if we believe Tyrion is Targaryen and Jon is Targaryen and we KNOW Dany is... where does that leave Aegon? Is he truly Rhaeger's by Elia saved at the last minute by a disgraced family friend? Or is he simply a child who looks remarkably like a Targaryen that's being used for Connington's own purposes?

I think it's bullshit that Varys had up his sleeve in case of emergency. Either that or he'll die. One or the other. I'm going with him being bullshit though.

See Quaithe's prophecy about "the mummer's dragon." Aegon is an imposter IMO, He's a fail safe in case Dany was never found or returned to Westeros. Varys never gets on just one horse.

You should! I'm about 170 pages into Book 2 and loving it. I like that I'm now getting more information than was I previously had from watching the show.

I haven't had any time to read this week and it makes me sad.

I think it's about reducing complexity in the story line. The books have a lot of complexity to them, and it's probably hard to put that level of complexity into an 8 or 10 episode season without it getting a little nuts.

I hate this so hard. As a book lover, it's so hard for me to get used to how different the show is. I think from now on I may have to try to compartmentalize the two things and pretend they are different entities from now on.

[adorebel]

LOVING THESE THEORIES!

While I am addicted to this show, it stresses me out so much that I would rather have the plots spoiled beforehand so I can get a handle on what is about to happen. Thank you for any theory I can hold onto to make sense of this season, guys!

I am so many types of GoT fan from that list of 11... Mostly the one who took 3 seasons to start remembering any names and the one who likes the (voluntary) sex scenes and the one who compares things to history (oh man, now I hate myself). And while the violence gets to me sometimes, the sexism and racism has sent me through the roof at least once a season, to the point I almost couldn't keep watching (this has decreased as the show has progressed, but even recently, there are things like Dany's white savior complex and Joffrey with the prostitutes and the infamous rape scene that my H says wasn't in the books).

On the 101 thoughts list, I laughed along with so many of these, but LadyNymeria, I was honestly a little disappointed in Daario's butt. It was kinda...droopy? Am I alone? I wish we were looking at Jason Momoa's butt...

NSFW BUTT COMPARISON:

Theory is that Aegon is a Blackfyre - a descendant of a bastard lines of Targaryens. They have long made a claim to the throne, but been denied, and the Golden Company was founded by the Blackfyre line. Jon Connington is likely an unknowing pawn in this, and when the true Aegon was killed, a baby from the Blackfyre line was presented to him to care for as the true Aegon. Another Varys/Illyrio plot. Hence he is the mummer's dragon (Varys was a mummer, and he is also false). This makes me most sense if they are leaving him out of the series, but it would skip a big part of Dany's prophecy to leave him out.

This is me too. Except that my SO did read the books, but he's waaaayyyy better at compartmentalizing the two and enjoying the show for what it is instead of constantly comparing them.

From the books. I'm current with the show and I didn't know any of that.


Yes...I am risking reading spoilers when I'm not up to date with the books. I just can't help myself!!!

[ironbaby]

I figured the spoiler alerts wouldn't actually discourage anyone, and we're using them just to make this extra confusing. :-) Still, for those that may genuinely not want to know, it's safer.

Some of the theory I posted above is in the books but a lot is conjecture.
