re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

So I've been thinking about a Robert's Rebellion mini-series, and think it could do well.

Episode 1: The Tourney at Harrenhall- Basically the things that happen shortly before Harrenhall, as well as the melee that Robert wins and the dinner where everyone socializes. Also have Cersei's seduction of Jaime to join the Kingsguard in this episode, and end it with Aerys accepting Jaime to the Kingsguard, and immediately sending him back to King's Landing.

Episode 2: The Knight of the Laughing Tree- Start it off with the Knight of the Laughing Tree plot, with Rhaegar meeting Lyanna in the Woods. Add some more scenes in Harrenhall, and end it with Rhaegar winning the tourney and giving Lyanna the blue roses. Also Tywin leaves his post as Hand of the King.

Episode 3: The Wolf Blood- Brandon vs Littlefinger duel, Lyanna leaves with Rhaegar, Ned and Robert return to the Vale, Littlefinger knocks up Lysa, and Jon Connington is appointed the New Hand.

Episode 4: Waking the Dragon- Brandon arrives in King's Landing and is arrested, Rickard comes down and is burned alive, Aerys sends word to Jon Arryn to send him Ned and Robert's head, Aerys also rapes his wife. Also LF is sent back to the Vale and Lysa has a forced abortion.

Episode 5: Raising of the Banners- Ned heads North to rally his bannermen, while Robert heads South to rally his. Lyanna and Rhaegar arrive at the Tower of Joy, marry, and then consummate their marriage.

Episode 6: Summerhall- Robert wins Summerhall, Ned and Jon Arryn marry Catelyn and Lysa Tully respectively. Rhaegar arrives back in King's Landing to get chewed out by his wife. Aerys commands Connington to take out Robert Baratheon.

Episode 7: The Battle of the Bells- Ned and Jon Arryn save Robert from Connington. Rhaegar meets with his father and then marches north to meet Robert after telling Jaime he was going to change some things once he returned. Aerys also begins to rig King's Landing to blow.

Episode 8: The Trident- The infamous battle itself. Aerys will also light another Hand on fire for the hell of it, as well as send his wife and Viserys off to Dragonstone.

Episode 9: Burn Them All- Start with the aftermath of the Trident Ned marches south, and the Lannisters unexpectedly arrive in King's Landing. Aerys lets them in, and they start sacking the city. Episode ends with Jaime slaying Aerys, his own Lannister men marching in, and Jaime sitting on top of the Iron Throne.

Episode 10: Dragonspawn- Episode starts with Ned and his army coming over the hill and seeing King's Landing being sacked. Elia and her children are then raped and killed by the Mountain. Ned marches into the throne room to see Jaime sitting on the throne. Robert arrives with actual joy at the sght of the destruction of King's Landing, pardons Jaime Lannister when Tywin lays the corpses of the children at his feet. Robert calls them dragonspawn, and Ned out of protest takes his northern troops and march on the Tyrells to the South.

Episode 11: The Onion Knight- Davos enters Storm's End unseen, and gets Stannis his onions, only to have the top of his fingers chopped off for smuggling. Ned comes in to lift the siege. Tywin tells Robert that if Lyanna should die, that he has his daughter Cersei to ensure the union of the realm.

Episode 12: The Tower of Joy- Robert is crowned, and Jon Arryn becomes his Hand. Stannis lays siege to Dragonstone, and Ned and his Northern Lords come upon the Tower of Joy and fight the King's Guard located there. Lyanna gives birth to Jon, making Ned promise to not tell Robert and to claim that he is his own bastard. Once she gets her promise from him, Lyanna dies. Simultaneously, Rhaella and Viserys escape, and she gives birth to Dany and also passes.
