  1. Didn't bran see them get married. She seemed happy. Then there's the whole embarrassing his wife and leaving his children.
    I don't know…… he interests me. I think he was good tho. The knight Joffrey fired had great things to say about him. Whereas everyone one else was either an enemy or can't be trusted.

  2. Did Rhaegar believe all three of his children would be the 3 heads of the dragon? He named a baby Aegon in the house of the undying then said there must be one more. We assume this was his first son. But now we know Jon's name is Aegon – he probably learned something that convinced him it wasn't his first son but his second son that would be the promised prince. The other? He probably saw Daenrys, he did look right at here saying 'there must be one more' in the house of the undying. I think the the third dragon he sees is the child between Jon and Dany – not his 3 children.

  3. I actually hope GRRM doesn't dig to deeply into his character with spinoffs and exposition for reasons stated at the end of this video. The obscurity around him makes him more heroic and attractive. Like they say, never meet your heroes. Knowing so little about gives all the more influence.

  4. Yup it has to be Tyrion, because they foreshadowed Jon being a Targeryian when the Danys Dragon let Jon touch his face. Tyrion didn't get attacked either when he released the locks on the dragons collars inside that temple she locked them in. Makes sense

  5. I think Rheagar had good intentions when he ran away with Lyanna so that he could have his third head of the dragon, but the way he went about was so short sighted and thousands of people died because of him. I do think Lyanna willingly ran away with Rheagar, but the blame should still be on him as Lyanna was 16 years old and betrothed to a man she did not love, while Rheagar was 23 and the crown prince, which is pretty big power imbalance.
