      I think there’s definitely something in that… forget the book, they’re not keeping to ages and timelines on the show. What we do know is Criston didn’t pull out and Rhaenyra may not have drank the tea… the next episode must be pretty soon after as Otto is only now leaving KL. Depending on how soon the wedding came maybe a fortnight before she began to show… we only know Luke’s age in ep10 as 14. Would Jace be 16 as many years as the wedding/conception? Jace’s looks and attitude are different to Luke and Joff. The shot of the three together kneeling says a hell of a lot, Jace takes the opposite knee to his brothers, and has a very different looking wig… I think they wanted to leave the option open just depends whether or not that’s the story they want to tell

      What if the ending is that Bran time travels and stops himself discovering Cersei and Jamie, and thus young Bran goes to kings landing and distracts Ned at just the right time so he never finds out either, and the entire events of the books don't happen anymore.
      Danny gets successfully poisoned, Theon enlists Robb to help murder Euron before he takes over the Iron Islands, Stannis forgets the throne and just leads his bannermen north to defeat the Others (and so really is AA), and Young Griff dies never knowing he is important. Also Loris makes Renly bust hands free. All loose ends tied, your welcome.

      Any hint of time travel (specifically backwards) in a story not specifically revolving around time travel (à la Terminator, some of Martin's other works, Dr. Who) is and will always be trash.
      Just opens soooo many options for "but why didn't they travel to X point in time" and the whole story just becomes a clusterf* of "whatifs".
      Also too easy a tool/shortcut to resolve the plot. Avengers tethers the line there for me. At least we knew about a "time" stone and it is a reasonable assumption given the powers of the other stones, despite not really seeing it in action in that way (backwards time travel).

      @Alt Schwift X The theory that Aemond is the father of Helaena's kids doesnt come from how he wants to be king, or that he said he'd be willing to marry her & do his duty in that one convo. Although those points strengthen the theory! It's the part where when they are looking for his brother, Aegon... Aemond says something about he'd be next in line! Or how he assumes with Aegon out of the way, he'd be the one put on the throne! As if Aegon's kids do not exist! Those kids would be next in line, not Aemond! *UNLESS THEY ARE HIS KIDS* and not Aegon's! That's where the theory came from. 🤍

    I think the Vhaegar makes Aemond evil makes sense. Dragons have different personalities just like humans and Vhaegar has had the most riders so far, she might start to become immune to submitting to a riders will, especially when she's had strong minded riders before and now she was claimed by a confused and resentful teenager, she would easily be able to overpower a mind like that and just do what feels natural to her, she is used to war and destruction after all. And who knows maybe dragons absorb some of their previous rider's personalities and feelings too, Visenya was said to have a darkness to her that could stick with Vhaegar.
    If you compare Daemon's bond to Caraxes you can see that Daemon's mind is so strong that he doesn't even have to command Caraxes, they are pretty much one mind.

    2:10:36 The connections you need to make is children of the forest have cataclysmic magic and the Doom was destroyed by presumably cataclysmic magic.
    Last hero met with children and something happened to turn the tide. Azor Ahai is known as the Son of Fire. If you connect the dots, it goes something like this:
    Children created the Others to fight against the First Men. They went out of control. Last hero seeked the children out and received their help after making a promise. This created the first Valyrian, the son of fire, Azor Ahai. The Others were pushed back.
    The promise was to destroy the son of fire to prevent the firebloods from growing out of control just like what happened with the Others. Azor Ahai died, but survived either through blood or through stolen magic and settled far away from the greenseers sight.
    Valyrian Freehold came to existence only right after the Long Night. This is not a coincidence. They conquered Essos which resulted in the Andal migration, and finally the word reached the deepest forests in Westeros. Once the children heard of the dragonlords in the East, they also learned about the betrayal.
    They gathered together and did their modus operandi, blood sacrificed their race to near extinction to summon the Doom to save the planet.
    But one family survived. And seeing how that family conquered the entire Westeros with just 3 members, you can understand why their magically engineered blood is too dangerous to exist.

    I feel like....the idea of Cole being Jace's real dad might be a change that shorunners with "planning" might introduce in later seasons, because we did not see the "dead body" that was the empty cup of moon-tea. I think that will come back around, it stood out too much to me. And from the other small changes that we've seen under George's watch so far, I think this is well within something that you could change for the sake of "TV show drama" that wouldn't really change the lore in the long run. I think they'll do it, if they're smart.

    I like to think the Song of Ice and Fire was a century in the making from Aegon's actual dream to the story Viserys tells Rhaenyra. Maybe his dream was just of an army of Others, and was one part of why he chose to invade Westeros (I imagine he told Visenya and she used it to convince him, since her ambition seems to be the driving force behind a lot of Aegon's actions later). The idea that Aegon had this dream is general knowledge in the family. Later, Jaehaerys looks into it with Barth, creates the knife, and codifies the myth of the prophecy and its importance. He tells most of his family, but since they all die sooner or later, the last person he tells is Viserys. Viserys then thinks it's some secret sacred king-to-heir imperative because everyone else who also knew the story was gone.

    The one thing i like about the haelena/aemond theory is that in ep... 6 or 7? Larys and Alicent have a talk about Viserys' willful ignorance about his grandson's bastardy and Larys tells Alicent something like "You'd do the same in that situation" and she's like "noooo". I think it would be deliciously ironic for her to have completely ignored the bastards in her own family because she was too wrapped up in her own thing.

    To weigh in on viserys being maelor: Maelor was smuggled out of Kings landing by Larys Strong, which happened after the disappearance of Viserys. Larys strong isn't exactly trustworthy, and might have lied about the boy he sent with ser rickard Thorne so that he could hold the real heir to the throne, which would in turn help him since by then aegon II is a crippled, broken, probably dying man, so if he holds the true king of westeros, then that means he's got all the cards. It would also explain why he ultimately helps corlys betray Aegon, since doing it for the blacks wouldn't make much sense since they would lop off his head anyway (as they actually did). But if he had Maelor in lys, he could manoeuvre him onto the throne instead of aegon III, ensuring a green victory where he is the regent until king Maelor is of age.

    I very much enjoy that this fandom is fully leaning into "that Aegon Dream do be sussy" because Conquerors Are Unreliable Narrators. My best guesses for who made up this family myth were Visenya and/or Jaehaerys. Visenya could have fed the line to her son to encourage him to usurp his brother's children - Maegor acted out a lot but was wholly loyal to Aenys, in Aenys' lifetime (just like Daemon was to Viserys).
    Actually, the Daemon/Viserys dynamic mirrors the Maegor/Aenys one almost completely (the slashes are intentional). I remain morbidly fascinated by how consistent the royal line of Targs goes too hard on the "love your family" thing. Is the incestuousness taught and encouraged from birth, regardless of gender? Is it so normalized in their families that the kids just assume Interest when any other sibling would recognise that, no, familial protectiveness and friendship is not the same as "undying romantic love". The sense of entitlement to their siblings' attention, in Maegor and Daemon, seems to match up with the traditional Targcest thing anyway.

      @@roronoalaw7772 Royal bastards & forced marriages aside, Targaryens seem consistently loyal to their siblings. These loyalties sometimes extend to wives and nieces (typically with a goal of marrying said niece for political gain). These loyalties almost NEVER extend to nephews: the most dangerous person for a young Targaryen prince was typically their uncle. That's something that goes from Maegor and Daemon right to Robert Baratheon (though he was more technically a "cousin something removed" to Rhaella & Elia's children).

      @@mjm1677 the Long Night exists in the folk lore and mythology in [planetos]: while planning their conquest of the North specifically, it's likely that Visenya would have been able to throw enough comparative mythology together to imply knowledge of the Long Night experienced in Westeros.

    Building off of the theory that Aegon I had no biological children, I like the theory that some form of proof that Aegon was infertile may have been what was in Nymor Martell’s letter. The Dornish had been warring against the Targaryens for years. After Rhaenys was supposedly killed, Aegon doubled down in his attempted conquest. Then suddenly, one letter that Aegon burned and never talked about again ended it all.
    If the Martells could somehow prove that Aegon’s children were illegitimate, it may have proven to be the smoking gun that ended Aegon’s dynasty before it began. Hence, he opted to leave them alone and pray the secret didn’t get out before his children had children and the idea was forgotten.
    Thing is, what was in that letter is such a massive question mark in the history of Westeros that you’d imagine it would be answered at some point. And it very well could in the future if the Martells have passed the secret down through their generations. Maybe at some point soon, the Martells will be motivated to reveal the secret and question the overall rights of the Targaryens. Said reveal could be pretty eye opening for Daenerys as well considering all her talk about her blood right to the Iron Throne. Depending on execution, that information could be a catalyst for serious character alteration for Daenerys.
    This is all super speculative. But I like the theory since there’s a way it could come to fruition in the future story, and it adds a bit more to the theory of Aegon being infertile other than Rhaenys liked singers and Aegon didn’t much like Visenya.

    a not particularly strong theory I’ve come up with but nevertheless like is that Rhaegar named Jon and named him after JonCon. Like the logistics of Rhaegar naming Jon are already a bit clunky given Rhaegar was already very dead by the time Lyanna gave birth and the only one who could’ve respected his choice for a name is Lyanna who was also one foot in the grave by the time Jon was born. On top of that, as much as Rhaegar did seem to be close with JonCon naming one of his children after him is a pretty significant deal and whilst JonCon was definitely 100% in love with Rhaegar we don’t know if Rhaegar knew that and how he reacted if he did at all. On top of all this, the much stronger candidate for who Jon was named after is obviously Ned naming him for Jon Arryn, he is even already Jon’s namesake in one of his given conceptions, but I still really enjoy the idea of Rhaegar naming Jon after that there hot griffin boytoy of his (especially since JonCon was potentiall in exile at the point Rhaegar chose the name, so any fondness Rhaegar might have for him would be amplified by the knowledge he was now gone)
