Sam then chimed in and said, no, he wasn't married to Elia. I have a record saying his marriage was annulled and he secretly married another.
No. He said Lyanna.

If Sam KNEW it was Rhaegar and Lyanna, he wouldn't need Bran to see to confirm it.
Here, dude.
You re-watch the scene.
Sam even says, "It's what the Septon said in his diary. I don't see why he would lie."

Literally my whole point in this is him riding a dragon doesn’t prove he’s a Targaryen to everyone else. That’s all I’m saying.
You're overthinking it.

I’m saying there’s going to be more. Everyone is not going to be like oh he rode a dragon therefore he’s a definitely Targaryen and the heir. Dany obviously isn’t convinced, and they don’t know he’s still not a bastard.

So when he told Littlefinger that "chaos is a ladder," that wasnt in connection with a past grievances? I love that you're just making stuff up like it was written in an appendix from GRRM.
Chaos is a ladder had nothing to do with Brandon Stark, at all. It was a conversation between little finger and varys in the thrown room that was revealed by the Three Eyed Raven back to littlefinger long after.
No bran involved. No past grievances from a former life ruminated on by the TER. Theory still intact.
I don't have a clue if the theory will play out, but if you're going to take me to task on this stuff, pack a lunch.

Right. Littlefinger said that in a private conversation,and Littlefinger knew that Bran could not have known that he said that.

Yea that's where Bran comes in, bro. You're overthinking it. GOT has gotten simpler since they departed from GRRM.

I’m not overthinking anything. The poster I was responding to was acting like him riding the dragon was enough and the most solid evidence possible. All I’m saying is that it might get people suspicious and that one scene from Bran and Sam showing/saying something is what will really convince people. No where did I say it would take a long drawn out storyline or several scenes to do it.

Was Arya getting Gendry to make a dragonglass crossbow bolt? Is Bronn gonna head north and end up as a Dragonglass Crossbow-wielding ice zombie killer? Is Bronn the Daryl of Westeros?

Bronn is probably going to switch. Especially if he sees what he’s really going up against.
Posted on 4/21/19 at 9:06 am to 1BamaRTR
And especially if Arya has some dragonglass bolts waiting for him

Thanks for posting. The Tyrion spoofs had me crying.

why wasn’t she surprised he was actually able to ride the dragon? She thinks he can ride the dragon because she give him permission, not that he’s an actual Targaryen.

I do think she was surprised when he directed the dragon to land before her.

Bran won't even care or react to Jaime, he's gone. Bran is now the 3ER and is beyond such mortal things as caring about getting pushed out a window.

This gendry baw gonna figure out how to make valyrian steel or what? Dude could become the richest man in the seven kingdoms if he gets his mind right

Jamie will get saved from getting exposed fully by the NK attack. Then he will save a stark and be forgiven

What was the bad writing you’re referring to in this case?
quote:
Bran said "I'm waiting for an old friend."
I suspect they’re playing fast and loose with Brans character, to create drama.
They’ve played Bran as this emotionless thing, I’m not Bran, but, watching that final scene in 8x01, you can see fear in Jaimes eyes when he sees Bran.
And then you have the trial that appears in the 8x02 preview.
That only makes sense if Bran is Bran, and carries a grudge. If he’s the emotionless TER, then he doesn’t say “old friend” and there’s no trial, because he would never permit such a distraction from the White Walker threat, especially when they’re a days march away.
We’ll see what they do with it tonight, but it could just be lazy writing.
Martin is absolutely ruthless about this in the books. Every character has a set of internal rules that define them. And Martin doesn’t deviate from them, ever. And that’s where the drama comes from. You know Eddard Stark won’t cut and run to save himself. You know Rob will follow his heart, and his sense of honor, even if it’s self defeating.
And so you see the tragedies coming, you feel the dread, and you know, turning the page, that they won’t escape, because of who they are.
Lazy writers will often throw that away, because it allows them to take shortcuts. But when you do that, you destroy dramatic tension, because you no longer believe that Eddard is marching to his inevitable doom. You assume the writer will just ignore the rules again to save him.

Well, how is Jaime supposed to know what Bran is thinking? It makes perfect sense that Jaime would feel that way. Even if he's not expecting to be executed, there's no doubt he feels tremendous guilt.

Are you really saying you took the 'old friend' line literally?

I don’t like it because it’s cheap theatrics. We know that Bran shouldn’t care, he’s the three eyed raven. And playing up Jaimes fear requires us to ignore that.
