The Citadel has some responsibility in all of this, I won't say why just in cae you aren't a book reader because this the newbie thread.

I am guessing at Ned's motives, but I think I am right about him breaking his promise to Lyanna

My point is that I don't think that Lyanna Stark made him promise to hide Jon. She didn't name her son "Jon", she named him after the Targaryen custom, perhaps after his father. I rewatched the scene and I think I am right. She didn't make him promise to hide Jon. The name of the episode is what made me think this in…

Robert wasn't the rightful heir to that throne, he was a usurper aided by the support of the Starks and the Aryns and the Tullys… all of whom would probably have supported a Lyanna/Rhaegar heir if Ned had.

But she was being protected by Rhaegar's King's Guard for a reason, she was birthing the rightful heir to the throne. And half the world was still aligned with the Targaryens, If Ned supported Jon's claim I don't think Robert could have remained a king

I have had some time to think about the Jon Snow reveal and what it means, and especially since there are people denying he is a Targaryen because of the whispering that Lyanna did, I thought I would share what I think she might have said.

I have only read the 5 books, none of the other ones - yet. So why is this horn so important if this is the case

We had Schrodinger Jon Snow for nearly a year, why not a Schrodinger's Unella.

I wasn't the only one to think about the fate of the Alexandrian library when I saw the one at the Citadel, a loss so vast we still cry over it (doing my best cry face as I type this)

He was joking about Edmure, unless I didn't catch the joke you're talking about.

One more thing, they need dragons to fight the Night's King.

The dragons were theirs because of their blood. The maesters did some sort of fuckery to kill them all off, but the Targaryens are Dragon Lords, The control of dragons is thought to come about through the blowing of a horn (Euron and his horn). If all the horns were lost, and the Targaryen blood is the only blood that…

Cersei and the Night's King have a pact. (yes, I am being sarcastic)

He made his landing stick.

Well, that criticism is better than the zigzag criticism.

Me too, she has nothing to lose and I don't think she cares whether she lives or dies. On the other hand the Cersei of the books had one thing she cared about more than her kids, and that was being in power. But the TV Cersei doesn't come off like that at all. I imagine she is going to use her power for every dark…

Hence I said the North. I think there will be independent corroboration, like maybe Dany's dragons.

Maybe you are right, but I think they need more time than 6 or 7 episodes to deal with the impact of the Wall falling. Remember, both seasons are going to be short

My opinion, the Cersei of the books is one of the most narcissistic almost 2 dimensional characters in the entire series. The Cersei of the TV show is someone I can almost like if it weren't for the fact that she really is a hideous villain. I think Cersei knew she lost the moment Tommen jumped out the window, she's…

I really enjoy your comments.
