Yeah.

I don't think Dany would take that very well.

Here's my theory. If Ned told Catelyn "Hey, Jon isn't really my bastard. He's Lyanna and Rhaegar's son but we need to keep it secret so Robert doesn't bring his warhammer down on him or kill him like The Mountain did with the Targaryen babies," then Catelyn would've probably treated Jon as good as her own children. And, if Catelyn would've been on board, she probably would've want Jon to be legitimized, which would have brought attention to them and Robert, being the King, is the only one who could legitimize a bastard. I think Robert would have legitimized Jon if he had asked, but if we are to believe Jon is Ned's nephew and not his son, couldn't that have potentially put him in line for House Stark before Robb? Not sure if that would have sat well with Catelyn even if she knew the alleged truth that we've all been speculating about.

I don't think Ned wanted to bring anymore attention to the situation than there already was. He swore a vow to his sister and I am not sure if he trusted his wife with that sort of a secret/would not be sure of what her reaction would be.

You mean if Rhaegar and Lyanna secretly married? F*ck me, I hadn't thought of that. I'm not sure they could have done so, legally, as Rhaegar was already married to a Martell.

Good question, I've been trying to figure that out myself. Like why wouldn't Howland, knowing that Ned is dead, go to the Wall and tell Jon himself?

I think Crannogmen are kind of reclusive.

Yeah, that might be a problem.

Aegon the Conquerer was married to both of his sisters...so we know that at least a few of the Targaryens practiced polygamy.

Also, Elia was infertile after her 2 pregnancies.

If polygamy is legal than I guess he's alright, if they married. Something would have to happen to Dany for him to take the throne though, seeing as how she's got the dragons, and he'd have to find out who he really is.

I wonder if the old Targaryen at Castle Black knows anything?

This is from the DVD extras. Are the Lannisters and Martells enemies? The Mountain did kill the Martell chick that was married to Rhaegar under the direction of Tywin. That wouldn't set well with most people especially since it seems the Martells were allies with the Targs.

Yeah. They're enemies with the Tyrells too, which is why Tyrion wanted to ally with them after they allied with the Tyrells, to keep them from joining with the Starks or Baratheons.

A lot of people want to kill the mountain. I don't know how he hasn't been poisoned or something by now.

Yeah. Is it possible any of the Targaryens knew about Rhaegar and Lyanna, and maybe a kid?

Tyrion wanted to ally with who? So after the Lannisters allied with the Tyrells Tyrion wanted to also ally with the Martells who are enemies of both these families.

The Martells. He married Myrcella to a Martell.

Right. He didn't want the Martells to side with the Starks or Baratheons after seeing their two greatest enemies allied with each other.

Ok. That's why he sent Cersei's daughter to the Martells. Got it I remember now.

I hate her too .

She has to be THE most overrated character in the series. Plus that season finale ending didn't do any favors in terms of me liking her more.
