re: GoT S6: E10 "The Winds of Winter" BOOK READERS

He should focus on removing Cersei first, IMO. He won't gain much going after Jon in this current situation.

for legitimizing Jon, at this point it's not required. The north all declared their swords to him. In the book there was a very important yet short scene that set this up. Rob had all his bannermen sign a decree that legitimized Jon as a Stark and declare him as the heir to the north if Rob were to die.

So stupid question, but how can they prove that Jon is Rhaegars son? Why should they believe Brans word?

They have to either A: Have a person(s) or document corroborating the birthright, or
B: Have Jon exhibit Targaryen Powers.

Just having Bran show up and going "Hey Jon, BTW you aren't really my brother, you're my cousin. And you'll never believe who your dad is!" isn't really going to convince people, especially Dany. If Dany shows up and Jon is the Dragon Whisperer, that's a little different.

Any plans he thought he had through Sansa are shot. He has to know that.

I asked this earlier in the thread but it was at the bottom of the page... The midwife in the room. Does she come into play? There was a quick shot of her right before Lyanna starts whispering.

I mean, don't any of you remember that Dayne clearly said in the TOJ scened that 'our prince wanted us here.'

Still? I think the time hop means they're all back home. Jamie made it back to Kings Landing pretty darn quick.

You don't get to where LF is by giving up that easily.

And you don't get to where he is by sticking with a failing plan.

Myrcella is less of an heir than Jon was going to be. A non first born woman. Jon was a first born male. Now to be fair he wasn't Rhaegar's overall first born, but again if you go back to Aegon the conqueror the Targaryens have a tradition of taking multiple wives and basically choosing which wife's children are first in succession.

He also thought Aegon and and the daughter were safe in kings landing. Compared to Lyanna who was in a random tower that could be attacked by anyone at anytime.

Ned Dayne's real name is Edric not Eddard. That's like saying someone named Edmund is named after someone named Edward, just bc both they're nicknames were Ed. Not to mention the relationship between house Dayne and Eddard Stark is incredibly complicated since he and Ashara Dayne were in love with each other

thus I think it is obvious that he will come after Jon in some way

Starting beef with the Lord of Light's chosen champion is not going to end well for LF....
