Thought this would be a little bit of fun.
Make two lists, one of theories you believe and one of theories you flat out disagree with.

Here's mine.

Theories I Subscribe To

R+L=J (ofc)
Coldhands is Benjen.
Aerys + Joanna = Tyrion
Jon is Azor Ahai
Jaime will kill Cersei

Theories I Disagree With

The Faceless Man conspiracy.
Aegon isn't Aegon.

Will add more if I've missed any when I remember them.


Added list from me:

Crackpot Theories I'd Really Like To Be True

Hodor is Rhaegar :P
Ned's Bones will be reanimated and he will guard the Winterfell Crypts for eternity.
Jojen Reed doesn't exist, he's Howland Reed.

Agreed Theories:
- Jaime will kill Cersei
- Jeyne Westerling is pregnant
- Aerys + Joanna = Tyrion
- Aegon isn't Aegon

Disagreed Theories:
- Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon
- Jon/Dany/Aegon is Azor Ahai
- Coldhands is Benjen

What exactly is the Faceless Man Conspiracy? I've heard so many different ones.

R+L = J
Cersei and Jaime are Aerys II kids with Joanna Lannister, not Tyrion
Aegon decends from the Blackfyre line through his mother and Ilyrio or through Illyrio's mother.
Littlefinger is in league of sorts with Varys, his role was to commit financial chaos for the realm
Benjen is not Coldhands but is alive in the Land of Always Winter surviving and scouting the others.

The one I'm referring to is the one that essentially boils down to: The Faceless Men are in league with the Others and their "All men must die" line literally means they're out to destroy all life.

What's the basis for the Jeyne Westerling being pregnant theory? Hadn't seen that before.

P.S. I hasn't included Robert Strong as Un-Gregor because I don't think anyone could argue against it, given what we know from the books. I'm not even seeing it as a twist. Does anyone really believe otherwise?

I can't say i feel 100% about any unknown theory, however

Quite sure of:
Aegon is not what he seems to be
Jaime killing cersei (or at least screwing her over big time)
The great mystery of Robert Strong (saracsm)

Disagree with:
Tyrion being a targ
Coldhands being benjen
Faceless men being in line with others
Various characters which have been linked to "the great other"

What i sure hope is true:
Jaime & Cersei are targs
Dany is insane, or getting there
Also, hadn't thought of jojen being howland, however i do quite like that
Either patchface or Hodor better have some unknown significance
The hound was not the grave digger, hasdn't had some spiritual awakening, and is still angry as ever waiting to kick some (preferably robert strong) ass.

R+L=J (unfortunately)
Jeyne Westerling is pregnant (unfortunately)
Aerys + Joanna = Tyrion
Jon is Azor Ahai (again, unfortunately)
Jaime will kill Cersei
Aegon isn't Aegon
Benjen is not Coldhands but is alive in the Land of Always Winter surviving and scouting the others.
Robert Strong is the Mountain
Jojen paste
the hound=the gravedigger

I'm also hoping on the Dany is insane theory.


Haven't heard about the Stannis= night's king come again. Sounds interesting, will have to read up on that one.

The main point of argue is whether he still has a head or not.

Agree:
-R+L=J
-Aegon is a Blackfyre
-Jaime will kill Cersei
-Sansa is the younger, more beautiful queen
-Nightswatch=Lightbringer
-Dany will not be the savior of Westeros
-The Pink Letter was untrue, Stannis is not dead (yet)
-Robert Strong is unGregor
-Rickon will be Lord of Winterfell when all is said and done
-Jon will survive the attack
-Oberyn poisoned Tywin (a recent thread that was awesome!)

Disagree:

I must be the only person who thinks Aegon is real. He supposedly has the Targaryen silver hair while the Blackfyres had black hair apparently and Tyrion comments that he is a Targaryen. Dany will cross the Narrow sea and I think Jon Snow is Azor Ahai and Rhaegar and Lyannas son.

Theories I subscribe to:
R+L=J
Coldhands = Benjen Stark
Jaime will kill Cersei.
Jeyne Westerling is pregnant.
Bran can talk through weirwoods.
Robert Strong = Headless mountain.

Theories I don't believe
Faceless men conspiracy - would be in the category below except I made my mind up instantly.

Theories I only just learnt about via the forums and have yet to make my mind up about:
Aerys + Joanna = Any of the Lannisters. (Hmmm, intriguing. I might be able to understand it for Tyrion - if Tywin hated him not just because of his dwarfism and even more than we think for killing his mother given the circumstances, not so much Cersei and Jamie - incest isn't genetic.)
Aegon is a Blackfyre (I'm yet to make my mind up whether he's fake or not.)
Stannis = Night's King. (I can't even remember what that is. There's a reason I'm currently re-reading.)

As for everything else (such as who AA is) I will admit to being completely on the fence.

- Lightbringer is the Nights Watch (sorry its just not)
- AA, The PTWP and Last Hero are the same person (Jon, Dany and Bran)
- Many More...

You're one of two who thinks Aegon is real.
