Anyone else ever get crazy ideas in their head like this:
So Jon's dead. Doesn't get resurrected by Melissandre because maybe the White Walkers snatch him up first? (No, not to become a wight). Their leader seemed very interested in Jon, no? He may be half Targaryen, but I think the Stark in him runs deeper. Plus, I kinda think they have the old gods in common. And, he's a warg for a reason. A gift from the old gods to the Starks.
I guess I'm just not completely convinced that the White Walkers are the bad guys yet. Might be followers of the old gods too. Need more info. I think Rh'llor is a real dick so far, though...
Then maybe some of the Bloodraven and Bran north of the wall storyline will come together with Jon somehow? I've always been really interested in knowing exactly why Bran is a greenseer. He can control people's minds, no one has ever been able to do that before (according to the books and the show).
And fuck them dragons. Look at Dany trying to control those assholes with no Dragonbinder or knowledge of the spells to keep them under control. They're pretty useless and that weakens her position big time.
Anyways, I love trying to guess what's gonna happen. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
I don't have the imagination to get deep into long range stuff. But, I think the Others storyline has something to do with a long-standing promise or treaty that has been forgotten and broken. I think the current state of the NW has something to do with it. You start with the idea that the Wall was meant to keep the Others apart from rest of the continent and you see current state NW spending all their time fretting about Wildings. I think Martin set the stage for this screw-up in the prologue of first book. The Starks, Wardens of the North and family mostly closely connected to the Wall and its purpose, gather up Gared as a deserter and promptly lop off his head. The Others could have easily run down Gared and killed him, but they didn't. This was the warning signal, that the Starks missed. Ned's first mistake. And, then Martin proceeds to spend 100s, maybe 1000s of pages letting us think that the Wildings were some massive threat to the realm. Way wrong IMO.
So yeah, the Others are coming. That Hardhomme episode was awesome, as it presented us (me) with the scale of their threat, that even Martin has not delivered thus far. And, Bloodraven, while I'm sure he'll be interested in fAegon if he's a Blackfyre, has put Old God's magic in play + pulled in Bran to figure out what to do about the Others. I think ultimately, this is where Jon's future contributions lie.
As for Dany and her dragons. The iron throne will continue to be important, so she will be. I think the idea that fAegon could be a Blackfyre adds a great deal to storyline. The Blackfyres were crazy about getting the throne.
I'm all in.
