Well, his number one son did eventually grow up to be a Kung Fu Master, even though he was not of pure Chinese descent.

Similar experience here, but I had to explain what a redshirt is. (Also what Alexander Nevsky was, including an excerpt from the Battle on the Ice music)
If Ignaity Vishnevetsky were doing the reviews of GoT, he would have pointed out that "Frozen Lake Battle" was previously done in Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky.
There's a fan theory that Cersei is Gendry's mother.

I hear that Jeff Goldblum is going to star in a remake of The Fly, called The WASP, in which he plays a scientist who invents a teleportation device. He tries it out on himself, not knowing that a wasp had entered the machine when he did. The machine works, but when he appears on the other side, he's been…
