I've never read the books....I keep wondering...
I'm guessing that eventually John will get blasted with fire somehow and when he comes out unscathed he'll realize he's not a Stark at all....but a Targaryen. anything like this in the books?

ALSO....we've got two proven living Targaryens now (Dany and John) so....from what I've seen on the interwebs there should be a third...right? Who is it!!???

OR - maybe the third rider doesn't really have to be a Targaryen?? in which case please please PLEASE let it be Tyrion!

Jon has already burnt himself, and Danny's brother died from being burnt. Just because you're a Targaryen doesn't mean you can't burn.

well hells bells! that's right. nice helmet bro. ROFL
but...refresh me memory....when was John burnt?

When he saved Mormont from the first white walker they found.

I have to agree, Littlefinger is just planning his next move, he's not going to shit himself because things don't go as planned. He's killed two kings and the Warden of the North with his action or planning. He won't stop now.

Holy crap, how did I not recognize this before now? Rereading Dune now, and still didn't pick up on it.

Tyrion could be a Targaryen. There is a theory that he is the offspring of the Mad King and Joanna Lannister. Tyrion has always been obsessed with dragons and he is associated with fire quite a bit, especially the wildfire in Blackwater Bay. Adding to that, the dragons didn't fry him when he walked up to them.

Extremely unlikely, but all 3 of the Lannisters could be Targaryens. Cersei in particular exhibits many traits inherent in that family (incest, love for wildfire, general insanity).

So to complete both prophesies after Jaime is(most likely) taken prisoner.

Tyrion betrays Danny by freeing Jaime. Cersei still wants Tyrion dead, but since Jaime knows he's inoccent of killing their son, Jaime ends up killing Cersei. Yes I know he's still mad about Tyrion killing their father, but shit'll buff out.

Fantastic episode maybe top 5 ever. You guys love to nitpick. The Highgarden defeat, Danys not leaving the battle after the first shot from the scorpion...but I think the dumbest thing about the episode was how Jaime was sinking into a deep abyss when he's only like two feet from the shore. What about that huh?!

Drogon's going to get turnt.

He's already had his moment. There's nowhere left for him to go other than "holy shit the other side has Drogon."

And then we get to explore the other two dragon characters.

Keep in mind I know there are spoilers out there and if you confirm any of this without a spoiler tag I will find you and rape you and your entire family.

We're like 4 episodes removed from Cercei blow up the Sept of Baelor. Maybe others did but I definitely didn't see that coming.

All that said, I'm fine with a "pat" ending at this point filled with great action scenes and a few more people getting their just come-uppance. If unpredictable means Cercei wins, then **** that, give me predictable every day of the week. I'm fine with just seeing how they get there!
