Winter is Coming
The summer has lasted so long the people have forgotten why that Targarians ruled them to begin with and why the Targarians intermarried.
The dragons are needed to fight the white walkers, and only the Targarians can command the dragons. The dragons contribute both directly in battle and also indirectly by making dragon glass which is one of the only things that will kill a walker.
I am positive Jon Snow isn’t Ned Starks bastard.
But I am not so sure he is the other Targarian (and there is another)
But if he is, it wouldn’t keep them from marrying since Targarians married each other anyway.
One other thing also, if she defeats the white walkers at the wall and saves the seven kingdoms, then sits on the iron throne, she can push through the reforms that she talked about in this episode that lead to “breaking the wheel”. The rich and poor alike will need her and her dragons and so will have to listen to her. That would be the ultimate power play (i.e. game of thrones)
A popular theory is that Jon Snow isn't Ned's bastard, he's the child of his sister Lyanna Stark and Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
She was promised to Robert Baratheon, the king in the 1st season but ran off/was abducted with Rhaegar.
She was found by Ned in bed with a pool of blood. Her last words were "Promise me Ned".
Theory goes that the blood came from a difficult birth of Jon and she made Ned promise to raise him and not tell anyone of his Targaryen ancestry.
It would make sense, Ned having an affair is quite out of character.
Jon Snow = Ice
Daenerys Targaryen = Fire
A Song of Ice and Fire
That’s possible.
I agree completely that Ned having an affair seems out of character. And it’s quite possible that it was his sisters child that he swore to keep secret and raised as his own bastard.
Prime suspects for the father would be Rhaegar or Robert.
Robert as the father seems unlikely at this point because it seems if that were true then Ned would declared him the true heir to Roberts thrown and not Stannis.
Rhaegar’s bastard with Ned’s sister would resolve several issues, mainly where is the missing Targarion (and there is at least one), and Jon Snows obvious hidden royal linage.
I also find it interesting that both Jon and Tyrians mothers both died in childbirth.
Is it possible that one of the reasons Targarions only marry each other is that a non Targarion isn’t able to live through the birth of a dragon?
And if so... that might suggest that both Jon Snow and Tyrian are Targarion bastards and half brothers.
Which would be interesting because that would give us three potential riders for the three dragons.
Daenerys Targaryen = Fire
A Song of Ice and Fire
Wow! I never thought of that!
If Jon Snow and Dany marry, we’ll have a king with a dire wolf and a queen with dragons; that’ll be cool.
At what point does Jack Bauer enter for a day?
He only needs just ONE DAY mind you.
And don’t forget Dany’s vision of the Blue Rose coming out of a wall of ice.
Rhaegar passed over his own wife and gave Lyanna a blue rose after he won the tournament. Wall of ice needs no explanation.
In the books, the other Targaryen, Aegon VI, is already accounted for. He just hasn’t showed up in the series.
He’s the son of Rhaegar and his wife Elia Martel. He was supposed to have been killed but it turns out he was switched with another infant by Varys when Gregor supposedly killed him, his mother and sister.
He shows back up with an army and takes several castles in Westeros and lays siege to the Baratheon seat Storms End.
So your 3 dragon riders would be Aegon, Daenerys, and...Jon Snow.
You are assuming the man claiming to be Aegon in the books, actually is Aegon and not just a pretender.
I think it’s telling that all that you mentioned has thus far been left out of the tv series. In in fact the Aegon from the books a pretender... it might have been deemed not even important enough to include in the TV series.
Which would be there is a REAL Aegon out there, and it’s most likely Jon Snow.
I agree Robert as the father just doesn’t make much sense.
I’ve always thought the Aegon/Griff storyline was a scheme of Varys’, just in case his schemes to plant Vicerys/Dany on the Iron Throne didn’t pan out.
Dany’s vision refers to it as the “Mummer’s Dragon”. Varys being a mummer by trade, but also as an adjective - fake.
Or, perhaps it was intentional of Varys from the start. Pump up a pretender to invade Westeros when the whole place was broke from war and in leaderless chaos; which would cause more chaos; making it ripe for the true Queen to arrive and conquer.
“Watching Cearsi Suffer is Oh SO satisfying! I don’t see a way out for her, confessing to incest and the Murder of King Robert? Stoned to death in the street by a mob! or Rot in the Cell and go mad.”
OR, her imprisonment and torture turns her into one of the religious fanatics.

Rickon, the youngest of the Starks, was last seen with the wildling Osha. Osha was taking Rickon and his direwolf, Shaggydog, to the holdfast of Greatjon Umber, who is one of the remaining loyal bannermen to House Stark.
