Fiery Heart Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This New 'Game Of Thrones' Theory On Jon Snow Changes Everything "Game of Thrones" fans, we thought we had George R.R. Martin figured out, but now it turns out we know even less than Jon Snow. The theory about Jon Snow's parentage is the most popular one out there. At this point, everyone pretty much accepts and expects R+L=J to happen, meaning Snow's parents are actually Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. The show even hinted at it in Season 5. But now, thanks to one new theory, everything we thought we knew is about to change... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jon-snow-theory-game-of-thrones_55dcbb45e4b04ae49704bcf3 Thoughts?

White Knife Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It is a good theory and all the evidence to back up the theory seems to fit. They are the same age, they both look alike and the fact they have both been raised by the only two survivors from the ToJ makes it especially convincing. But all of that may just be coincidence. One thing that has puzzled me is, what do Meera and Hodor do now? Especially Meera. She has fulfilled her mission and got Bran safely to the three eyed raven. Is she supposed to stay there with him forever? I don't see that happening. Surely at some point she has to leave Bran and return to Westeros.

PyroclasticFlow Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah, she can't hunt any frogs up there. Go home Meera we don't need you anymore!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knife Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Go home Meera we don't need you anymore!! Haha, I didn't mean it like that. I meant, would she want to stay there? Does she need to stay there? Maybe Bran does send her away "go and help Jon, tell him who he is, etc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~DarkHorse~ Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It changes nothing and makes no sense. They aren't even the same age on the show. They should have went with Dany or Aegon being the Twin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Tanner Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Wouldn't there be seven direwolf pups if this was true (two of them being white)? I don't think GRRM after spending about a third of his life invested in this series would just copy Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knife Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't think GRRM after spending about a third of his life invested in this series would just copy Star Wars. This. Even though the theory seems good on the surface I couldn't help think GRRM would go down that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel4s-JonSnow Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah the twins theory is too close to Star Wars, which in itself is a bad plot twist. I think Meera Reeds role in the story is mostly done now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Morghulis Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 No chance GRRM would just rip off Star Wars, if he does how fondly we will all look back on the glory days of 20 good men killing Bad Pussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Heart Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Other than it being a plot twist involving twins, personally I do not see a Star Wars similarity since Meera and Jon have never met. Evidence does seems to point to this theory potentially being true, and could explain why Meera is still alive on the show. Hodor I can understand having a role to play for Bran, being an important part of his getting around & interacting with the world, but Meera they could easily have killed off along with Jojen, so why keep her on? Maybe she does have a more important role in the story than we realise? Could the 'three heads of the dragon' be Dany, Jon and Meera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Heart Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Talking about Star Wars... for anyone who didn't know, George Lucus substantially ripped off Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress (a really great film, I highly recommend!).

~DarkHorse~ Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't believe in this theory. But why do you think they're not the same age on the show? We don't know Meera's age. She seems to be about the same age as Sansa, maybe just a little older. If Jon Snow had a twin then surely they would cast an actress about the same age as Jon, Robb and Dany. Maybe I'm being unfair and she just has a more youthful appearance, but she doesn't come across as the same age as Jon (or even Dany) on the show. Also, the evidence against this theory is stronger than the evidence for it 1) Meera has green eyes in the books and looks like a Reed (how could a Stark and a Targaryen make this?) and 2) Why would Ned take Jon home and not Meera? Surely, he would want to keep them both close and not favour one over the other, ESPECIALLY when he can get away with claiming Meera as his Bastard daughter and Jon's twin as she does not have a Targaryen look that endangers her 3) This is too much like Star Wars and 4) Not once does Ned think of Meera in his POV, the thought of Jon fills him with shame but he never thinks of anyone else or Howland having 'something' important. R+L=J is spicy enough, it doesn't need more twists because it is 'too obvious' and has grown boring. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenezuelanLord Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 For the last time... no, this is the third thread about Jon Snow twin, no meera isn't his twin, she is a crannogwoman, green eyes and all, no Dany is not his twin, she was born at dragonstorm during a storm, hence the 'Daenerys Stormborn', no it isn't Aegon, Ned would never hand Lyanna's baby to Varys or Ilirio... Please give this theory mercy, let her die Meera isn't his twin, her eyes are neither Purple (Targ) nor grey ( Stark) her eyes are Green (Reed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Heart Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm not sure belief needs to come into it really. It's just speculating about a possible twist on this storyline, based on evidence which could allude to this possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
