No way Tyrion is Aerys' son. There are too many of those floating around right now anyway.
Agree 100% with you. I would say this red herring (from ADWD right?) is another example of Martin just randomly throwing shite into the story that's possibly influenced by Westeros.org and other online sites (as this idea had been bandied about before ADWD was published*).
After SOS, I find it hard to believe anyone could think Tyrion was anything but Tywin's son (their last exchange so perfectly reflecting each other). However, Martin has added in that Tyrion had dragon dreams (this was from ADWD, right?) and the Joanna tidbit. Many had already thought Tyrion would be one of the 3 heads of the dragon (likely with Jon and Dany) and since Jon/Dany are more than likely Targaryen descendants, so too must Tyrion be. Not saying I agree with it (don't necessarily believe the three heads must be Targaryens OR that Tyrion will be one of the three heads), but that's what leads to the speculation.
Tyrion not being Tywin's son would undercut many of the events from the first three books. Also it would indicate that Westeros had a bigger bastard problem than North Baton Rouge.

This is why I hate it.

While I don't think Tyrion is Aerys's son, I think the logic some people are using is flawed. I keep reading that Tyrion is most like Tywin out of all his children. Well, even if he is Aerys's son, he could still grow up to be just like Tywin. It's the whole nature vs. nurture argument. Tyrion still grew up watching Tywin. He could model his entire intellect after him.

Does the third head have to be Targaryen? Just thought it more indicated a dynasty. Wasn't even thinking of Jon as a head, and was more thinking that Tyrion was one of the heads, even if he isn't directly related.
