I love that the more that the story reveals, the more you realize how Ned wasn't this purely innocent and honorable guy. I mean you see that in how he fabricated the sword battle story to his children.
I feel like it makes him even more honorable since he purposely sacrificed his own honor to protect his nephew.
Yeah this season makes me want to rewatch season 1
Not to mention protecting Dayne's honor, someone who he greatly admired.
Edit: The fabrication of the swordfight I mean, not Jon.

I finally watched it. Two things: I hate that I was cheering for Cersei initially, taking far too long to realise I'd just watched a terrorist attack unfold, and I hate that this show has the GALL to have me dare to hope again for the King in the North.
And by hate I mean that episode was on another level.

You'll pin all your hopes and dreams on another King in the North and you'll like it, dammit.

I mean, it's in the fucking title: one of the two final players has to be Dany, bringing the Fire, and I'm guessing the Ice can only be the White Walkers.
So yeah. Jon is fucked lol
He doesn't have to worry about pissing off Walder Frey at least, so he's ahead of Robb from the get go.
Seems like all the dickey backstabbing Northern houses are done for. Even Glover who didn't want to fight for Jon, had a good reason for it and didn't end up fighting against Jon, just not with him.
And really, who the fuck is wanna go against Lady Mormont?

I'm more of the belief that Jon IS the "Song" of Ice and Fire.
Ice (Stark)
Fire (Targaryen)
Obviously not a unique belief, but makes too much sense to me lol.

Those lads were paying attention to what the other little girls were getting up to this episode, clearly.
I would also accept this! That'd probably also put him in a peace-making position, which makes sense.

It all turns out to be a lost Coheed & Cambria album.

Jon's biggest threats right now outside of the WW's are Sansa and LF.
Cersei is far gone and unless LF allies with her and reveals that Sansa is home then she wouldn't pay mind to the North, Dany will not be a threat as I don't see why Jon would even care, or why Dany would care since Jon seems to represent a lot of the same morals that Dany seems to be fighting for.

If Gendry comes back it will only to clean up loose ends like with Blackfish, Rickon, and even Benjin.

The last scene will be an old scribe writing the history and story of the events of the series and as he closes the book, you will see a shot of the cover that will say A Song of Ice and Fire.

This is how I picture it.
On a cold winter morning, in the time before the lord of light
They need something like this guy for Rhaegar.
Yes! The prettier the better!

Well, if people believe the "Seven" are coming back theory there is still the smith remaining.

The final shot is 500 years later, as London is overran by dragons.

What's this theory? Haven't heard it before.
I wonder if Jon's parentage could cause problems if Littlefinger were to find out. Would his Northern men still follow him if they knew he was the son of Rhaegar and not Ned Stark? Would also make it easier to turn Sansa against Jon if she knew he wasn't actually her half-brother.
That there are characters that each represent one of the Seven Gods.

The faith of the seven:
Father, Mother, Warrior, Maiden, Crone, Smith, Stranger
Sam, Dany, Jon, Brienne/Sansa, Meli, ???, Ayra

Ehhh, Sam as Father is a bit of stretch. You got this from Reddit didn't you?
well, smith is obviously gendry
Dunno how he's described in the books but all the fan art makes him seem like even Jaime would be jealous of his looks.

Sam is ironically a father as much as Dany. Was discussed on this thread I think after the door ep.

Orlando Bloom's not doing anything, right?
Well characters in the books don't exactly have proportional attractiveness levels as characters in the shows. I've never read them, but apparently Tyrion is supposed to be really fucking ugly.
chris hemsworth?
not only that, he loses half his face in the battle of blackwater, and in the show the scar gets less noticeable every season
It's more likely to be Davos since he's actually a father and someone that cared for the child of others more than them.

Jorah too and Ian Glen is not ugly!
I feel like he's a bit too old now. He's gotta be around Jon Snow's age or so in the flashbacks. Plus Bloom would just be too distracting. Go the young Ned route and cast a relative unknown.

I dunno how much time Rhaegar would even be on screen for, it's all just plot-advancement bollocks anyway, why not have a neat cameo. (He probably is too old though yeah)

I think they would, he's still a Stark. Just not Ned's.
Sansa on the other hand would only find out if Bran was to return, which would officially remove her claim.
I'm trying to recall but some of the older seasons are murky now... did Jojen or Meera ever mention specifically why they journeyed out to find and protect Bran? Does their father know what they're doing? Did he send them? Are they ever planning on going back? If Howland Reed and Ned Stark were such close friends, their houses must be close too. Jon and Sansa would have heard the same stories Bran had. When they were seeking forces to fight Ramsay, why didn't they ask House Reed?
Yes, Peter Dinklage is actually far too good looking for the role.

i thought jojen dreamt of bran and of his purpose to help him, so he did as per his task
his dying scene remains hilarious
but i do miss that strange boy from the swamps, he was a fun character ; __ ;
YesNOnoNOYes

as rhaegar???.... mmm .....yeah! can work! specially if he's supposed to be even better looking than jaime lannister :>
he is a fine, fine man, he is.
i thought she died? for some reasons i thought his last remaining relative was his son and he died in the siege of king's landing so then he bonded with shireen
poor davos ; __ ;
