The very same, yes. I recall his (actually pretty tragic, in hindsight) story. I was suggesting a alternate timeline where he was a Reyne or somesuch.

Histories and Lore thoughts:

  • Qyburn's narration in the Dragon Pit one gives credence to the book theory that a Maester conspiracy (theory video behind spoilers) was responsible for the diminishment of the dragons.
  • The Golden Company narrated by Jorah: Alright, confirmation Cersei wasn't bluffing on that point. Also, a couple of character arcs for the last season are laid.
  • The Citadel: Way to tempt fate with unsubtle foreshadowing, Sam.
  • Magic: Alright, the Doom was pretty much confirmed (again?) to be Volcanoes. Also, closure on Maggy the Frog. Video ending clip: Well that was subtle.
  • What happened to the three lion cubs, indeed? How many siblings do you have Jaime? Or kids? Lannisters seem to come in threes...
  • Ser Randyll Tarly of the Testosterone Poisoning, Hand of the Locals, the Immigrantsbane, straight may he shoot

Poor Maggy.sad

Best video was the Golden Company history. I'm surprised they actually talked about the Blackfyres.

Gives me hope that the new series may be on the First Blackfyre Rebellion.

@Gaon Honestly, there was a damn good theory that I read once that Roger Reyne was still alive and was supposed to be the leader of the Stone Men, the Shrouded Lord. And that he would've let Tyrion go once he found out that he killed his own father on the crapper since the Shrouded Lord is said to give a reward to anyone that can make him laugh.

That is before GRRM cut out the chapter where Tyrion was going to meet him. But he said he might publish the chapter one day even though it's non-canon now.

According to some rumors, he is thought to be Prince Garin himself, risen from his watery grave. Others believe that there have been numerous Shrouded Lords, and when one dies another one takes his place; the one currently holding the title is a corsair from the Basilisk Isles. Rolly Duckfield likes yet another version of the tale, in which the Shrouded Lord was a statue at first, and a grey woman from the fog kissed life to it with lips as cold as ice. They say the Shrouded Lord will grant a boon to any man who can make him laugh. According to Septa Lemore the stone men were proud, and the Shrouded Lord was the proudest of all.

Lions are the proudest of all. And the Lannisters and Reynes are both lions. Hmmmm......

That description sounds more like Gerion Lannister... except for being happy about his oldest brother dying.

@wanderlust Okay, that was the other alternative candidate. Nice guess.tongue

I mean it's probably nobody but it's fun to theorize.

Anyone hear about D + D = T yet?

Basically, MMD didn't kill baby Rhaego. She just teleported it to Joanna Lannister's womb back in the past hence Tyrion isn't Tywin's. He's the Stallion that Mounts the World and the son of Drogo and Daenerys. It's called the time traveling fetus theory.

Edit: A new one also came out that Renly is Robert's bastard son. Robert impregnated his own mother. Renly only tries to take the throne because he knows Robert would've legitimized him if he knew about Cersei's kids being Jaime's.

The theory Reyne is the Shrouded Lord is actually pretty sweet. I hope the apocryphal chapter proves it true.

As for the rest:

Oh, snap. It's out and it's long too.

Will give my thoughts on it in a bit.

It's an animated form of Aegon's Conquest.

Last chapter goes through the Faith's Rebellion, the Dance of Dragons, the Blackfyre Rebellions(the thumbnail is Barristan ending the Blackfyre line) and Robert's Rebellion.

Robb Stark is both Jon Snow, Syrio Forel, Jaqen H'ghar, Dontos and Blackfish Tully. This has all been part of his masterplan.

I am so sorry for this but it had to be done. The Royal Wedding occurred of course and in all the media coverage there was one point no one raised.

[up] I mean Prince William has blonde hair but apparently blonde and red hair is a trait in their mother's family.

But yes, it's strange that they're both fair-haired while Prince Charles and his family have black hair.

Did Diana fool around with Llayton Hewitt as is one of the more popular myths? Was there something to the idea of Dodi Al Fayed? Or is George R. .R. Martin not just making a book writing profit, he is also a prophet?

In an interview with Vanity Fair that was published on Wednesday, Emilia Clarke seemed to hint that Daenerys Targaryen’s last scene will almost certainly be controversial. “It f—ed me up,” she said of shooting her character’s final on-screen moments. “Knowing that is going to be a lasting flavor in someone’s mouth of what Daenerys is . . .”

Oh shit.

Prequel series confirmed.

Taking place thousands of years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” Goldman’s series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend–it’s not the story we think we know.

Give me the Bloodstone Emperor NOW!!!

What I keep imagining is that just like we are unclear on who exactly is Azor Ahai in the show, the prequel series will have a recurring myth arc about who exactly will become The Last Hero among its cast.
