re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

He wanted Dany murdered but then notified Jorah to stop the assassin, right?

I think it was a letter from Illyrio offering a lordship to whoever killed her.

theory that Varys paid for Gendry's smith apprenticeship in case his backup plan with Faegon didn't work--legitimize him

---

Yes, it was Varys, but I think that he was going to do the same thing that Stannis was planning to do with Eric Storm. Use him to show the incest.

Plus I've also thought that Robert saying "I have a son, you have a daughter, let's join our houses" is going to foreshadow either Sansa or Arya marrying Gendry.

---

I wouldn't count Arya out, didn't Gendry tell Arya that she could be 'his lady'

quote:

She might take a man to be her bitch.

Like Asha and Qarl

im starting to think the spider is the real Aegon (third head). He's cut so he cant propagate the line so he's helping Dany.

If that were the case, Dany would be in Aegon's position now. Viserys showed some signs of madness early, but Dany didn't. Dany was never in Varys real plans until she got the dragons. That and her army is all Varys cares about. He merely used Dany previously as fodder for Robert in order to keep his eyes off of Aegon.

may have put that fake aegon in play to try to get him on the throne to rule through him (spider being the real aegon).

---

Now that I think of it, your theory makes absolutely no sense. Varys was in King's Landing manipulating Aerys during Robert's Rebellion. He is far older than Aegon. How is it even remotely feasible he is Aegon?

quote:

---

If Arya was still betrothed to that Frey boy, I guarantee you she'd kill him on their wedding night .

---

I could think of a worse way to go.

quote:

---

maybe he has jojen/harland reed aging backards benjamin button thing going on.

---

But Varys was in King's Landing before Aegon was born. He's been manipulating the realm for 2 decades now.

i think you got me. i thought he came on board with Robert. Robert didnt want Barristan Selmy on his council because he worked for the previous king. thought the same would apply to Varys.

Varys is a Targ for sure, maybe a seed, and could potentially be a dragonrider. I really would not want to be a dragonrider though. It rarely ends well for those folks.

New crackpot theory: Bryden Rivers/Bloodraven/the man in the tree who is mentoring Bran still has Dark Sister and will have Bran warg into a giant falcon, like the one mentioned in the Ayrn ledgend, and fly the sword to Dany.

If you notice in the very first Season 1 preview (the Iron Throne one), a pair of bird wings are stretched out behind the Iron Throne; I definitely think there's some significance there that we have yet to know about from the books. Very clever of D&D since they already know the endgame. Another observation is that Jon Snow is the only "Stark child" sitting on the throne in the preview and that Ghost is sitting right next to him on the ground. And when they show him, Ned's voice says "You may not have my name but you have my blood" .

One of the earliest Season 1 previews....
