Winter is Coming
Exactly. And if Jon is legitimate, then his claim to the Iron Throne would be stronger than Daenerys’s claim, because he would be the son of the son of King Aerys II Targaryen, “The Mad King”.
yep, that’s just what I was thinking! :D
Hmmm, I must have missed that scene. I’d like to get these on DVD, to watch all over again.
I believe the scene was in the last episode of season 3.
Men of the Nights Watch forfeit titles, nobility and inheritance. They vow to never marry or father children. I don’t think Jon Snow with win the Game of Thrones.
Yes, that’s what happened with Master Aemon.
Darn, that ruins all my theories right there. But you’re right.
Maybe Jon doesn’t win the Iron Throne, but what if he does work with Daenyerys to defeat the White Walkers? If he is part Targaryen, then perhaps he can ride one of her dragons.
That episode made some of the aggravation worth it
Bingo
Everything revolves around winter is coming and what comes with it
>>Men of the Nights Watch forfeit titles, nobility and inheritance. They vow to never marry or father children. I don’t think Jon Snow with win the Game of Thrones.<<
Couple things, re: that
[[SPOILER ALERT AHEAD...DON’T READ BELOW IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY READ ADWD]]

1 - He wouldn’t necessarily have to. Dany is barren and incapable (for now) of having any kids. Plus, Rickon is still alive, and would be available as heir to their shared throne. Still leaves the problem of marriage and titles though.
2 - Jon is currently the 998th Lord Commander. Presumably someone will be elected the 999th in his absence after the “For the Wall” incident. However, if Jon is indeed ‘The Prince that Was Promised’ (R+L=J), he’ll survive, reborn, and either become the 1000th Lord Commander (surely that would grant him the ability to negate or alter the Night’s Watch vows),
or
3 - Negate the Night’s Watch entirely. If The Wall is brought down during the upcoming war with the Others and the Wights, (there’s a theory about the Wall merely being a prison tomb for the Ice Dragon - far fetched, but hey...a massive Ice Dragon taking on Dany’s Chillruns? Friggin epic!) once victory is obtained and the enemy defeated, there’s no longer a wall. No Wall = no Night’s Watch = No Vows.
4 - Jon and Dany rule, Rickon as their “son” and next in line, Bran as the King’s Hand (or branch) live via Weirwood satellite, and Hodor as Master of Whispers!
Thanks for the tip. That is the first I’ve heard of that theory. I see on the internet there is something about TellTale video games with reference the theory. Is that where you picked it up?
About Hodor being master of whispers? Naw, I came up with that all on my own! Hahahaha
The rest I’ve picked up here and there on the internet - some of the best theories are on the ASOIAF Wiki site, some others on reddit’s ASOIAF page. Hundreds and hundreds of theories abound. It can be exhausting.
Look up one called The Great Northern Conspiracy...it’ll blow your mind. It’s very well-done, and makes you say, “Huh...how could I have missed that?” once you’re finished reading it.
sorry - “The Grand Northern Conspiracy”:

Thanks. I have noscripts loaded on my Firefox browswer and had trouble finding anything to load. I did get the .pdf to load and will take a look at it.
Good stuff there. Thanks!
RE: “For the Wall” incident, if he dies, then his oath would be fulfilled and his watch would be ended. If he is “reborn”, then arguably the oath he took before would no longer apply.
Kit Harrington hints he may not be back for Season 6.
“Yep, Harington doesn’t know if he’ll return for Season 6, which can only mean Jon Snow may die at the end of Season 5.”
I’m thinking that we might have a really big cliffhanger coming up!
>> If he is “reborn”, then arguably the oath he took before would no longer apply.<<
Just so!
