    Where did Balerion take Aerea?

    Now the noteworthy thing about Aerea's flight with Balerion is that it happens after Farman stole the clutch of three eggs, and Jaehaerys was unable to recover them. Balerion was old by then, and isn't mentioned to ever have laid his own clutch. I gather  Balerion was a male without able to revert into female, and therefore not able to self-fertilize, but he wanted to be reborn into a copy. There was an egg for him to be reborn into at Dragonstone until Farman stole it and it ended up in a place where it could not hatch. Everybody else was basically bonded to a dragon, except Aerea and she seemed the next best thing to him: a female Targaryen. And he thought that by heating her, he could provoke a self-fertilization process with her. But for that he needed heat, so that's why I do think he took her to Valyria. And it sortof worked, for all of Aerea's eggs in her ovaries hatched all at once into wormlike creatures with faces. But it also went horribly wrong, because those wormlike creatures with faces have a human component and Balerion did need an actual black-red egg to rehatch into.

     

    Such a sucker for theories like this.

    Glad to have stumbled upon this thread. Aerea’s disappearance and return are so fascinating.

    A couple other sub topics to theorize about.

    How in the world could Balerion have gotten “a jagged rent down his left side almost nine  feet long, a gaping red wound from which his blood still dripped, hot and smoking,” and the other “half healed scars that no man recalled ever having seen before” ?????

    Then there is Aerea’s “I never..” which she uttered before Ser Lucamore Strong took her to GM Benifer. 

    If they were missing for a whole year, could Aerea and Balerion have somehow settled in Valyria? Then things went to shit towards the one year mark? Or maybe there are inhabitants there that took Aerea captive and tortured her. And Balerion was able to rescue her while taking heavy damage? 

    It’s mind blowing and I love George for these few pages of mystery.

    books are the books. we are talking about a tv show. they said they want to stop at 7 and have been talking about ending at 7 for a while i doubt they get 8 but like a two part split like breaking bad and mad men i could see.

    i don't they are ever doing aegon and team

    You go ahead and take the word of a couple Hollywood producers with the biggest money making machine of recent memory in their possession; I'll remain skeptical. :cheers:

    Still haven't seen anyone mention a couple things:

    Maybe shireens burning that started to melt the snow wasn't for stannis it was so that Mel had a chance to ride back to castle black , and she just didn't realize that until the last moment.

    Also. I think the show runners decided to end on many cliffhangers partially as a gift and respect to Martin to give him a chance to release book 6 so that if people want to they can read what happens next in martins own words before season 6 comes.

    I agree with Red completely. I think Jon's cliffhanger is the one I wouldn't have minded being ruined though.

    Blue might be right too. But I don't even think she knows it yet lol. I think she left Stannis in fear for her life after learning of his men deserting him. Maybe after the revival she'll put the pieces together - for now, you're just ahead of the curve.

    No way is Jon dead. I may just be in denial and grasping at straws lol but that stare down between the White Walker and Jon in Hardhome was so deep, like he was looking at Jon like "yup, this kid's got balls, I'll deffo see him again" and I refuse to believe that nearly ten minute stare down was in vain. And like someone said, no point hyping up Jon's parentage only to kill him off before ever finding out. :crying:

    You're not alone here-it was such a powerful scene to be irrelevant. Plus the parentage. I'm honestly dissapointed with myself even to consider the fact that he's gone. I did see in Kit's interviews that he is saying Jon is definitely dead. Let Jon be dead-but let one of the other hero aliases be born :eek:

    DnD seem to really want at stop at season 7

    how many episodes are in those seasons is the thing?

    If book 6 is 1200 pages and contains many loose ends it will probably mean 7 will match in length. I find it hard to believe they go 7 seasons. I think after 6 comes out it will be an eye opener to DnD that they should start casting additional characters like Aegon, Victarion, Euron, Howland, etc.

    Based on Jon's parentage buildup this season (LF, Stannis), the revelation of his sword's capabilities vs the others, Mel fleeing Stannis back to the Wall, and the overall fact that the show would truly be hopeless with him, I refuse to believe Jon will not be back. Run on sentence....? Yes
