bump to keep on first page.

I think Carice has the best facial bone structure, but i think Oona is just beautiful. I also really liked her in The Hour so I may be biased.

eta - and I've read every one. I need to get a life.

Can't. fricking. wait.

I'll say it one more time........ Nathalie Emmanuel is the hottest cast member by far.

What does everyone think of this theory?

Maester Aemon & R+L=J

Aemon & Jon's parentage

Why else would Aemon take such a shining to a bastard from a northern lord if he didn't know something of it?

We always know that if a character is the focus of a certain storyline, they are special in some way. This is assumed but if we look at it from Aemon's perspective..out of all the bastards and unwanted sons of all the lords in the realm that came to the Night's Watch he choose Jon Snow to give extra attention to, and probably persuaded Mormont to bring him in as his apprentice because of R+L = J

No. She might be in the running, but it's no where near by far.

The key to all of this I believe is Selmy. He served under Aerys and from what he has been telling Dany he knew Rhaegar surprisingly well, even though he wasn't considered a "close" friend. The more we find out about Rhaegar the more the SoIaF will be sung. I think the reason Rhaegar talked to Aemon so much is because of Aemon's maestership. Rhaegar knew that Aemon could give him counsel without opening his mouth. But somewhere along Rhaeger trying to fullfil the prophecy he knew it would cost him his life. Selmy talks about Rhaegar being born under a shadow of grief that hung over him all his life.

Also there's this: Selmy talks about Rhaegar going to Summerhall by himself and sleeping in the ruins, but always coming back with a song that was about himself and his family and they were always melancholy. The dwarf woman/green seer/child of the forest at Heart Hill tells Arya that she is a blood child and that she had fed on enough grief at Summerhall. My question is, what the hell is at Summerhall other than maybe the ghost of the Targaryans that died their? What fasinated Rhaegar so much to go there so often? Is there one more egg still sitting there hidden? BTW these chapters are right next to each other.

Lastly, I noticed, after Jon is escapes the wildlings in the Gift and he stops to rest, he wonders, how he was able to fight off the wildling with sword in hand and mount the horse with a saddle. Sounds familiar to Lyanna. So to me of there was any doubt about Lyanna being his mother, that just threw it out the window.

I think he may be referring to how Lyanna and Brandon were both excellent horse riders, and people used to say Lyanna was 'half a horse' herself (some think that she may have been warging her horse on some level). Therefore Jon has a natural riding ability like his mom and uncle, due to the Starks being wargs/skinchangers, which was latent until the beginning of the series.

From the AWOIAF:

quote:

---

Lyanna rode horses like a northman. Harwin compares her riding skills to those of Arya Stark.[4] Barbrey Dustin reports that both Brandon and Lyanna loved to ride. She compares them to a "pair of centaurs".[5] Roose Bolton claims that Lyanna was "half a horse herself", probably meaning a centaur, however, he also claims that his son, Domeric Bolton, could out-race her.[6]
