On that same point, Aegon written out of the show isn't so much a disconnect as consistent writing. "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die."
Since the Golden Company is composed of exiles and the sons of exiles, its participation implies a network of potential supporters in Westeros
Perhaps ponder who or what is behind all these machinations and repositionings.
She certainly says she does. Fire & blood, and all that jazz.
Wasn’t that weird smoke monster assassin or whatever it was get created out of royal blood? It’s been I while since I watched it.

I'm sure someone else was plotting way before Robert's Rebellion. ;)
Nah, it was made “the old fashioned way,” FRiend.
There is every reason at this point to believe that Dany will be the ultimate champion against the white walkers. But Dany has three dragons. Aegon the Conqueror had three dragons, and two sisters as dragon riders. It is one plausible scenario that Dany will need two companion dragon riders as well. She has two possible half brothers and one possible brother still alive.
Unless a non-Targaryen can ride a dragon.
Ok, you've got me there. The prequel "history" to the Game of Thrones period is dominated by the Blackfyre rebellions. But I don't see a thread connecting Blackfyre survivors to Aerys' happenstance madness to Robert's Rebellion to Varys' efforts at a Targaryen restoration.
The Others have been laying in wait, but I'm not sure "plotting" is their style.
If Martin fails to release book 6 before the series starts up again, I’m probably not going to watch it.
Ha, you are right, I recall now.

Aside from the death of his brother (necessary), Wildfire soaker, ruining his marriage, causing a rift between him and his best advisor, the tactics she used to ensure he'd have zero support at Dragonstone or the Wall?
Stannis was never the mannis. He constantly displayed he wasn't qualified for the job.
Does this mean Raider fans could overthrow you on NFL Thread LOL!
It’s obvious Dany ends up on the throne. Remember Henry Tudor was called the “dragon of the North”.
She will end up married to someone who has a claim to the throne but is possibly a bastard child.
Dany is another one who constantly makes bad decisions. I don’t buy into a lot of fan theories because they’re largely based on chasing easter eggs rather than critique. It’s better to focus on what’s right in front of you, like the fact Drogon is the leader of the three. You got the Wildling Warg Backup Squad in reserve too.
GRRM constantly repeats and reinforces the same themes. I won’t keep you in suspense any longer: I alluded to Petyr Baelish.
Petyr has certainly stirred the pot, bloodily, but it’s hard to see what consequential plotting he might have been doing before Robert’s Rebellion. He would have been very young and essentially a nobody. GRRM could always pull a surprise — Petyr, for example, might have been instrumental in spreading falsehoods about Rhaegar and Lyanna — but I can’t think of anything in the books hinting at that.
Hey Bender better not make her angry remember she has those out of control dragons think about it
OR like Henry VII marry Elizabeth of York to strengthin his claim to Brit throne
Gotcha LOL!

Thanks for the ping.
No one thinks the book is gonna come out before the new season.
