Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Textually, no - we've been told that Ned Stark is his father and that his mother's name was Willa (or something).
Yep, and I took that as truth until I started seeing theories.
I think it will be, in the end.
Given the implications of it, I think it's going to have to come into play. I wonder if Bran's time-traveling tree adventures will be what gets the confirmation.
And since Bran is a magic tree now, he could probably find out on his own. Not sure how he'd tell anyone, though.
(If you haven't read book 5, don't highlight that.)
There are all sorts of things that are left to the readers to piece together (e.g. What happened to the Frey's who disappeared on the way to Winterfell in book 5* ) that it makes fan theories about other odd things (Why DID Tywin's corpse smell so damn bad?) seem plausible. My favorite crackpot theory is that Cersei and Jaime aren't Lannisters, as the king took certain "liberties" on their parents' wedding night.
* The "Rat Cook" (or whatever the story was) reference at the feast is a clue.
Ooh, I like that last one! That would explain their Targaryen-esque sibling relationship, for one.
And I deeply love the idea that Tyrion is Tywin's only kid. I suppose also that Jaime is both Kingslayer and Kinslayer. Okay, too, that NEITHER of Joffrey's sigils are accurate. That one makes me laugh.
Ha, Jessica, magic tree x-post.
If both theories are right that would make Jamie and Cersei and Jon Snow siblings and Danaerys would be there aunt. Right? It's been awhile since I've read the books and I don't think I finished the last one.
I have read the white font, and having not read any of the books, the white font does not make sense to me at all.
It has been fun to read though.
No. Both the twins and Dany would be Aerys's. Jon would be nephew to the three of them, and half-brother to Griff (if he is who they say he is)
I've never read the books, and have only seen one episode, but thanks to this discussion, I just spent an hour reading all the character histories on Wikipedia. My brain hurts.
