I'm sure you're all as excited as I am, probably more than me.

 

So let's use this thread to discuss the season premiere.

Not in the show but its pretty clear in the books. The Targs even fought a whole civil war when one highborn bastard was chosen by the king over his true heir. I am talking about Daemon Blackfyre for those who read the World of Ice and Fire.

 

 

But that is the issue, the show has many differences from the books. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities that the laws are different.

Well according to the laws of Westeros, Jon is still a bastard. Rhaegar didn't marry Lyanna. So Dany's claim is still stronger than Jon's.

Targs practiced polygamy. It is quite likely that Jon is a legitimate offspring, in which case his claim trumps Dany's.The fact that supports this is the presence of Kingsguard at the Tower of Joy. If Jon wasn't the legit prince, why did they stay and give their lives to protect him?

 

All this talk is fairly redundant because Targs already lost the rights of succession due to Robert's conquest. Even if he was a Targ, Jon has no interest in the Iron throne anyway. He sees it for what it really is, a red herring. The real war is against the others and (imo) the Dragons. That is the war that matters and Jon is focusing his energy into that.

 

Loved the episode, especially the North scene and the burning of the sept. Jon being made the King in the North was a big surprise for me. I'd thought they'd do it as a war of the 5 queens sorta thing. I'm actually pretty happy for Cersei and I legit laughed when Tommen jumped. Still Frey pie takes the cake for me. You go be the boss bitch Arya!

I  have only just realised this..

 

Dany, Cersei, Dorn woman, (Sansa), Greyjoy girl

I also was expecting 5 queens.  I'm still not ruling it out.  I'm also pondering a marriage btwn Bran and Dani, a marriage btwn the north and south.  It isn't like either will be producing any offspring unless the sun rises in the east.

A friend says this family circle was released by HBO.  According to this Jon and Dani are cousins:

 

My coworker wanted to know what happened on ep10 because she couldn't watch it Sunday, so I told her pretty much the exact opposite but made it sound believable by revealing certain context clues from the episode. She hated me on Tuesday for crushing all her hopes. lol

No. Dany is a sibling of Rhaegar, who is Jon's father. So Dany is Jon's aunt.

Robert is dead. Arguing that that Targs have a stronger claim on the throne would not be fully ignored by the populace, especially since no one trusts the queen. 

I feel this sense of loss that i have no episode to look forward to.

 

The baratheons are dead so whoever has the power to take the throne has the strongest claim. I agree jon likely won't take the throne, nor do i expect him to marry dany. Bran and Meera might be close after their harrowing adventure.
