re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Just looked it up on the wiki

quote:

The Great Council chose Maekar's son to succeed as King Aegon V Targaryen, whose first act was to arrest Bloodraven for the murder of Aenys. It is suggested by Maester Aemon that Brynden was imprisoned in the Red Keep's black cells.[6] Brynden argued that he had sacrificed his honor for the good of the realm, but Aegon refused to let Brynden free. He did offer the option of taking the black instead of death, which Brynden accepted.[15]

Night's Watch
When Maester Aemon sailed for the Wall in 233 AC, he was escorted by King Aegon V's friend, Ser Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard, and accompanied by an "honor guard" of recruits for the Night's Watch. These were 200 men and prisoners, among them Brynden Rivers and archers from his Raven's Teeth.[6][15]

Brynden rose to the position of Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in 239 AC.[6] However, he disappeared while ranging beyond the Wall in 252 AC.[15]

I'd also like to know why he joined the Night's Watch.

---

Egg forced him to when he came to power. Lord Bloodraven is loyal to the Targaryens, and as Hand of the King granted safe passage to the leader of the Blackfyer to appear before the Great Council, then cut his head off. And presented it to the Great Council.

But I do think the white walkers will either be destroyed by or follow Jon Snow.

ZERO chance of this happening. Ridiculous.

I haven't read the books yet, just watched the show but here's my GoT theory.

The Children tell Bran he is going to fly. Daenerys can't control her dragons anymore. I think Bran and Daenrys eventually work together to help save Westeros from the White Walkers.

Has Sir Diabeetus McTubberson released a date for WoW yet?

No, but with how the show has gone it has to be before next season.

Whether they knew it was, or they decided to push him I think it's coming out.

But if the theory about Jon Snow really being the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar is true then that makes Jon the nephew of Daenerys, and Jon grew up as the brother of Bran so it seems like a likely alliance.

---

Yep that's right, but Bran would support someone he knows before someone he doesn't.

Also I have the feeling that it gets bad enough with the White Walkers that EVERYBODY is just going to have to forget about fighting for the throne and work together to save the world (or at least Westeros)

---

Also true, but just like all the clans beyond the wall, someone has to unite Westeros against the Others. That person would already be King/Queen, or after the fact become King/Queen.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jon, Bran, Daenrys, and the remaining Starks all working together as opposed to Bran choosing Daenrys over Jon.

Basically the Starks and Targaryens together leading the other houses against the WW to save the world.

And also I think Bran will do what it takes to save the world at this point, even if it means not seeing his family and finding Daenrys.

All my speculation is based on the show, and Bran has already seen Jon and given up an opportunity to reunite with him so he could find the three eyes raven.

If that guy is gonna be fAegon, then he's gonna need a ton of bleach if he's gonna pull of a Targaryen.

Now this is an interesting tidbit. From over on Watchers on the Wall. They asked GRRM the five characters he missed most being on the show (or something to that effect). After giving the usual spiel about how he knows the show runners can't include everyone and he understands he gives 5.

Two of them suprised me. Gonna leave a little spoiler space in case ya'll don't want to know cause it deals with characters he says have a role in the last two books.

quote:

3) Willas Tyrell and his brother 4) Garlan

And in the Tyrell family, Loras is not the eldest son in the books. There are two older brothers, Willas and Garlan. I didn’t just put them in for hoots and giggles, they have roles to play in the last two books, and they don’t exist in the show. I’ve said from the start I wish we had more hours, but showrunners [David Benioff and Dan Weiss] work 24/7, 12 months a year.
