Why do you need a 2 year hiatus to do this?

Just do it at a different point in the year when GOTs is in production and then show it during the fall season.

2 shows would be too time consuming.I feel like it would good for the showrunners to step back from the ending and show the true start of this, especially since so much of the endings that they get to reveal is buried in the past....and at the hope of GRRM finishing books so the book readers get some satisfaction too.

Do you think Ned raises Jon to a Stark if he lives?

That wouldn't be a raise. That would be a demotion.

I'm a Rhaegar man myself. He would have been a much better king. Plus, he didn't rape Lyanna. That was just Robert's pride talking, and what started the war which did more harm than good.

They should have just assassinated The Mad King and called it a day.

But, if R+L does not = J at the end, it will be the biggest juke/feint in the entire series. That's how sure I am.


I would believe that GRRM changed it so everyone was wrong. I'm close to 100% sure.

I'm not sure about this, but I think there's a good chance R and L were married and that Jon is no bastard.

That would cheapen the series as a whole if he changed his story just to have a "gotcha!" Moment

I feel like it's more of build up if youre revealing if Jon is who they think he is.

No, I said I would think that if R+L=/=J. But I think it does and don't think he will change it even though it's not a secret.

While that would be badass, I don't think they should. It'd ruin the show for a lot of people. Find out who Jon Snow's mom is is a huge deal for both Hodors and book readers.

They'd probably leave out the Tower of Joy for more gay sex scenes.

well if the prequel series ended with the reveal and the new season debuted immediately following it, with Jon Snow being in the opening scene, it would probably play out well.

ETA: besides if it showed more both R's banging L, and Ned maybe banging a broad then boom, intrigue is still there.

One of the biggest pieces if evidence of R + L = j is the fact that there's no way honorable nerd arse ned would cheat on Catelyn

This is the one piece of the puzzle that sold me when I first heard and started looking into the theory. I remember thinking back during The Game of Thrones "There is no way in hell that this guy cheated on his wife."

Now whether or not GRRM decides to screw with everyone and change that, that is a whole other question.
