OFFICIAL GAME OF THRONES THREAD | HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Premieres 8.21.22 | OFFICIAL TRAILER REVEALED

[ccadalin]

Olley is going to kill the red bearded wildling

I'd be pissed if that happens. Damn kid needs to witness what just happened and put his issues aside.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Ned never smashed out of marriage. He legit was to honorable to cheat on his wife. He's clearly hiding Jon true parentage for a reason. Always been my opinion

At this point its just common sense.

 

[Ube]

Damn I love this show. Almost every season it starts out slow and usually by episode 7/8 you get back into it a whole lot.

The perfect explanation of how every season begins and ends.

GUYS SPOILER.

Didn't one of the show creators say a big moment was coming at the end of episode 9?

Knowing that Cat has a big mouth and makes brash decisons, and plus is Robert the truth he'd have Jon killed as well. It's for the greater good imo.

Many believe that Jon is not the son of Eddard Stark. Instead, he is the son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen  and Eddard's sister Lyanna Stark. Rhaegar and Lyanna disappeared together to the Tower of Joy  early in Robert's Rebellion. There, it's believed, Rhaegar leaves a pregnant Lyanna to defend his family's dynasty.

At the end of Robert's Rebellion, about one year later, Eddard and his companions find three of the Kingsguard  at the Tower of Joy: Lord Commander Ser Gerold Hightower,Ser Oswell Whent, and Ser Arthur Dayne. The reasons for their presence and the ensuing fight  are unknown, but defending the unborn son of the Heir Apparent would be a good reason to have been posted. The only known survivors of the fight were Eddard himself and Howland Reed. Eddard recalls his sister dying "in a bed of blood," where he made her an unknown promise just before she died.

Also, while Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon are said to have Tully features (hair color, eyes), Jon and Arya are said to be closer in appearance (which had made Sansa believe Arya was also a bastard like Jon, until her mother put Sansa's theory down). Arya is said to resemble Lyanna. In the same line of comparison with his "siblings"; while all their direwolves are described having dark fur, Jon's, Ghost is white - a color oft associated with Targaryen features.

Further evidence to the truth of this theory in the eighth Eddard chapter of A Game of Thrones,  in which Ned contemplates the significance of King Robert's bastards. As he muses, Ned's thoughts drift to Jon Snow, a logical segue, but also to his sister Lyanna Stark, the promise he made her, and to Rhaegar Targaryen, implying some tacit link between the three individuals.

Daenerys Targaryen's visions in the House of the Undying  include an image of Rhaegar with his newborn son Aegon, proclaiming that "there must be a third" because "the dragon has three heads". Given that, according to Jon Connington, Rhaegar's wife Elia  was believed infertile after two difficult pregnancies, and that Aegon the Conquerorhimself had two wives, it is logical for Rhaegar to have attempted to fulfill the prophecy by having a third child with another woman. Another of the visions Daenerys sees is the image of a blue winter rose  growing from a ***** in a wall of ice, filling the air with sweetness. Lyanna was noted by Ned to be fond of winter roses, and he associates them with her death. Jon, who could be the product of Lyanna, is currently at the Wall.

If Rhaegar secretly married Lyanna, it would ironically mean that Jon is not a bastard despite his life having been defined by his believed bastard status to a great extent, and that he is the heir to the Iron Throne  after Aegon VI Targaryen  (although this last point is rendered moot so long as he belongs to the Night's Watch).

With Eddard beheaded by King Joffrey, Howland Reed is the only living person who knows the nature of Lyanna's death and what she made her brother promise.

Kat is a puta

Olley is going to kill the red bearded wildling

I hate this kid. Dude needs to be checked by someone. I know he's gonna pull some ***** *** move. Hence, why he's always showing up the last couple of episodes showing discontent about Jon and bringing along the Wildlings. Plus he caused the whole reason why Jon couldn't be drowning in Ygritte every night .

 

[T0INE]

Episode 9 in each season usually has the "HOLY ****!" since the show's inception so it's likely that trend will continue.

 

[lawdog1]

Just have to say, as great as the end was, I thoroughly enjoyed the Dany-Tyrion convo as well. Exceptionally well done.

 

[IATT]

^ I just remember reading or hearing something somewhere.. Saying the moment will break the Internet

 

[CHAOSE57]

I liked this episode, so much to look forward to: Tyrion/Dany, Sansa knowing her little brothers are alive, Ramsey's shenanigans, Arya's plot, Wildlings/Wall and Cersei getting hit hard by life.

Edit. I really loved how they showed the army of the dead earlier, makes you feel like this little southron war is nothing to what's really out there.

 

[rook]

Howland reed knows everything..wish he shows up

 

[ccadalin]

Next episode is titled The Dance of Dragons. What the hell can that mean?

 

[spidermachine916]

holy ******* ****!!!!! JUST finished watching it! i was like... is this even a tv show now?

 

[jpzx]

T: You're not going to kill me, you're not going to banish me. So what are you going to do to me?

K: I'm going to have you be my adviser.

Episode was literally perfect. Almost wish they did this same format the entire season. Stick with one character for a duration of the episode but make big strides in each major character plot as they did today. I wonder who directed this episode in particular

.

go watch the episode where they slaughtered his whole village,

him and his pop just wanted some dam potatoes and next thing u know Thenn's are eating his parents.

I would hold a grudge against any wildling too if i were him.

Interesting.

That's saying something given the history of this show.

Only one, maybe two possibilities immediately come to mind.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Forreal, and Ygritte was gonna kill Jon.

Dude saved Jon's life

 

[tsamshox]

So hyped I can't even sleep right now

Jon is truly da Gawd.

The feels when the wilding chick leader couldn't fight the kids

Man my mind is ******* BLOWN right now. ******* GoT Yall done ****** the game up for everyone else

 

[jpzx]

The one thing I've always wondered about Howland Reed is who is that?

I vaguely recall him from one of the first few episodes/first season.

 

[T0INE]

Olly's beef with Jon being so chummy with the wildings is completely understandable.

 

[CHAOSE57]

The one thing I've always wondered about Howland Reed -> who is that..

Pops of Jojen and Meera.
