After Jaime raping Cersei, the second strike is Cersei chatting with Margaery. Seriously ?

If he's in a coma and wakes up, he's still a Night's Watch guy. He will be until the Others invade the Wall. Jon being APTWP is flying in the face of Aemon saying interpreters were wrong and Daenerys is the one, proved by the dragons. And the woods witch who prophesied that the PTWP would be born from the line of Aerys and Rhaella (ie Rhaegar, Viserys or Daenerys). Jon being heir to the Throne (if R+L = J and if they were married) is second to Aegon, who just showed up in ADWD. It also undermines the whole saga of Daenerys learning to rule across the books so far. I don't think actors posting photos matter much. I don't really care what prequels say. WoW and the seventh book will reveal all. I think Ned's debate with Kingsguard with TOJ is interesting. KG members aren't at the Trident with the Prince, three others are. They're not in KL with their King. And they're not with the heir, Viserys. I'm thinking Viserys and Daenerys were sent overseas but Aegon was at TOJ, as he was taken out of KL.(remember "Aegon" at KL is mutilated and they can't see his face) Take the King's children to safety, and take out the Prince's child and help Targaryens dinasty to survive. Well played by Varys.

I think it does, all of it. I definitely have trouble envisioning conforming what we know about Jon with the allegedly obvious R+J theory. Another argument is it comes off as a soap opera ending. edit : and the biggest of all is it undermines Daenerys's whole story, as well as Aegon's.

? So Jon & Dany will marry, and their Hand will be ; thus, fulfilling the three-headed dragon prophecy. :D We're basing events in WoW and book 7 based on a prequel story ?

OK... 1) Jon's a Night's Watch member. He will not be absolved of his duties should he be Lyanna and Rhaegar's son. edit : do we know for sure Lyanna was pregnant with Rhaegar ? There are several theories on Jon's mother... 2) Even If so, unless Lyanna and Rhaegar were married, he's a illegitimate son and heir to... nothing in particular. 3) Robb contemplated making Jon his heir. I still think Jon's fate is tied to Winterfell/North, not the Iron Throne. 4) His last chapter in ADWD , he was getting stabbed repeatedly...it remains to be seen how and if he gets out of that one. Warging into Ghost isn't much good if you don't have a body to get back to. 5) Remember Ned's prayer in ADWD about the "two growing up as brothers and his lady wife forgiving him". That, along with the fact his wolf is also related to the other direwolfs, makes me think Ned is the father. 6) Only in the last published book, ADWD, we got Aemon introduced. You really think anyone else with as much as a speck of Targ blood is coming forward in the final books ?

They don't. And there are several major issues with that theory.

Because she didn't want to, at all. That's what makes it rape. Unlike the book where it becomes consensual.

I agree it was very dark, but I'd say pretty much everyone would treat Sansa better than Lannisters. All the abuse from Joffrey, and if she got caught in KL she'd get trialed and executed. For now, Littlefinger is the only way out. I liked the ending. Unlike other royal candidates who huff and puff "because it's my right to rule I will be king PERIOD", Daenerys is the one going through the learning process of how to rule and more importantly, care about the people.

I think it will take a LOT for him to do to redeem the rape scene.

Why harm Jaime's character arc with the rape scene in the sept ? Most pointless scene ever.

Surprised with so many theories around...the TV version may be hard on pinning it down on Tyrion or Sansa but have the people forgotten about the little chat Sansa had with Margaery and Grandma Tyrell about Joffrey ? Oberyn is another fine addition to the show. And finally the troubadour Tyrion is off the screen with Shae gone (IF she's gone...no way with all this romance setup will they refrain from using her as a star witness against Tyrion).

Well...assuming that's what Bran's warging powers are for. And the more I think about it, not sure 3 dragons will be quite enough for what is an army of thousands of Undead unless the three male babies can have offspring, and lots of it.

Too bad the *other* wedding wasn't in the finale. I guess the opening episode of next season (along with Stoneheart)? And is that a giveaway by the writers ? Kings of the Westeros and the Night's watch can't stop the whitewalkers (but Bran can) ? Could do without the Passion of Theon scenes, or the wolf's head sown on the body scene.

I hope they do Lady Stoneheart right, Farley or not acting (could it be that Stoneheart is not really Catelyn Stark so they needn't use the same actress?)...she was very terrifying in the books.
