Nope, answered all of my questions .

Although, with the GoT rap mixtape, why isn't TD's very own JC rapping on it? YeYe!

I'll be counting down the days, hours, seconds...

And I'll probably rewatch S4E1 at least twice, maybe three times in a row on April 6th.

They pretty much show it three more times after the original airing that night.

In S2-Ep 10 Dany enters the House of the Undying and has her visions but the show visions are completely different than the ones told in aCoK for obvious reasons.

Now we know the book visions were told for foreshadowing and foreshadowed many future events including the Red Wedding, etc. and some things that haven't been confirmed as of yet like the blue rose in the chink of ice, R+L=J, etc

But I haven't read or heard much about the shows version of the visions.

1) Dany walks in to the Red Keep and the roof has been torched and is half gone. Snow is falling on the floor and she goes to touch the throne and right before she does, one of the dragons distract with a screech

2) Dany then walks through a gate that is actually a gate at the Wall

3) and finally she walks into the tent where Khal Drago and her baby sits. I noticed the baby is not a deformed creature. I've said before that I don't believe Danys baby was what the witch claimed it was

Do you think D&D did a little foreshadowing on their own?

And, if you notice with #1, she gets *thisclose* to touching the throne, but doesn't. To me, the show's version is foreshadowing that she's going to come very close to sitting the Iron Throne and ruling, but something is going to divert her from doing so.

And the throne room is basically destroyed and it's snowing...I've always thought that the upcoming Winter will spread all across Westeros, even down to Dorne.

I agree. A bit of foreshadowing indeed.

If it's the "worst winter ever" then it just may snow all the way to Dorne. In aDwD it has started snowing pretty bad in the north already with Stannis being snowed in to the point his men are about to starve.

GRRM has said that someone will sit the Iron Throne at the end of the series so that scene of the Red Keep being destroyed is throwing me off

It's highly possible that Cersei will attempt to burn down the Red Keep, and the remnants that are left/having a damaged roof allow it to be snowed in and the throne still stay intact. Aren't the blades that comprise the IT Valyrian steel?

And they could rebuild the RK towards the end of ADoS.

No. This was never explicitly stated to my knowledge. Just that the swords were from the vanquished.

I think, anyway. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Correct.

Aegon the Conqueror had the Throne made from the swords surrendered by his enemies. It is supposed to have taken a thousand blades to make, heated in the breath of Balerion the Black Dread. The hammering had taken fifty-nine days.

Have you read the most recent novella from the Dangerous Women anthology? There's a part in there that may strike you as interesting regarding what Mirri described.

I have read TP&TQ. I know Rhaenyra had a scaly baby just like Dany. But is it mere coincidence or did Mirri not cause the stillbirth? Because Rhaenyra's baby was still born as well.

I posted my thoughts on it a while back, although I know a particular lady on here who doesn't like the idea.



I think that it's almost all about Jon. She sees Snow on the iron throne, then she sees the blue rose at the wall, then she sees her husband and child at the wall. My theory (which matches my theory on the books) is that R+L=J, Jon is revealed as the rightful king and he and Dany end up together.
