re: Game of Thrones S6:E10:"The Winds of Winter", HODORS ONLY(No Book Readers)

The greatest fan theory/spoiler of all time is now finally out of the bag. I knew of that damn theory before I even knew who the characters were.

So glad we're past that now.

So many things still in motion here. I mean, this is the worst possible time for Bran to return. And he always just seems to make things worse.

He'd be the last surviving legit Ned Stark child. Cuz Jon isn't even a Stark now. He's the damn true heir to the Seven Kingdoms. Makes him a direct opposition to Dany.

One thing that keeps annoying me when it shows up in any story is moving at the speed of plot. I coulda sworn Arya was a very long way from Westeros. How'd she get from friggin' Braavos back to the Riverlands or the Twins or whatever so fast? That should've taken months, right? I guess she caught that boat she paid for originally, right?

Also, how does she still have the face changing power? I thought that was something you can only do if you are no one and the faces become poison otherwise? Da well. More convenient if she's the best kind of assassin there could ever be.

Cersei is going to turn into a Mad Queen and I bet Jamie winds up killing another insane ruler to keep everyone from dying horribly.

But why didn't Ned just tell Cat... Why let her hate Jon his whole life? She would have kept the secret.

He made a promise. The only way to protect him is if no one knows. He died pretty soon after Robert did. Maybe he would have said something after Rob's death but I don't know. He played it safe.

Also, who do the Lannister's have ad allies now? Anyone? The closest they had were the Freys who just got fricked up, and the Tyrells even if it wasn't the best of alliances, but even that is gone now.

And to those talking about time, a lot of time passed in this episode.

When the Queen of Thorns was in Dorne she was wearing black and in mourning and talked about how her house was no more, Jamie has time to get back to KL after pissing on Frey. So it had to be several days or a week at least passing. Probably a month between the beginning and end.

To give Arya time to get to the Twins and Varys time to get from Dorne back to Mereen, just in time to sail back to Dorne, presumably.

If you need a little help. This is season one where Ned parted ways with Jon.

Was Rhaegar's name mentioned at all this episode? Or are we still going off theory?

I don't believe so..

rhaegar and RB battled at the battle of the Trident and RB smashed his chest in with his war hammer. Jorah mentioned this before Dany banished him the first time saying,"Rhaegar fought valiantly, rhaegar died valiantly", when asked by Dany is he knew her brother...

That was fricking awesome. Impressive death toll tonight

He was still a bastard. Based on where he was actually born he should be Jon Sand

Not entirely true. What if Rheagar and Lyanna eloped? All they would need is a septon.

Great episode and awesome finale. Next season is going to be crazy.

They didn't say who the father was though. We just know he is Ned's sister's kid. We all assume it was the Prince. But it could still be a ton of people. We don't know how long she was there or who she was with. Could have been Robert, the Mad king, the Prince, one of the Kings guards, Hodor.. I can keep going..

The confusion on Jon Snow's lineage has me thinking...
