I just read that Howland Reed who was with Ned at the tower or joy is the lone survivor who knows that Jon is Lyanna's son. I'm sure he knows Jon is Rhaegar's son since she was put there protected by king's guard by Rhaegar. I wonder if he'll figure in somehow.

Also R+L=J is confirmed at least on the wiki site and the only the question left is if Jon is legitimate or a bastard. The Targaryens were rulers so polygamy may've been ok with them… I mean incest was fine with them.

Also apparently Jon's real name isn't actually Jon. It was something Targaryen sounding and Ned changed it.

Jaehaerys Targaryen knows nothing.

Lady Mormont is a little badass. Fucking shame she wields little forces or else she would have been a hell of a Queen.

11 year old Lady Mormont remembers.... the rest of the North is peeing in their own bowl of soup.

The second stage of decomposition is bloating; bacteria in the gut begin to break down the tissues of the body, releasing gas that accumulates in the intestines, which becomes trapped because of the early collapse of the small intestine.

Question for the resident nerd-authorities: how do you imagine the proof is presented for R+L=J?

I don't think Bran can share his visions, and all we have is his word for it - so where is the tangible evidence? Seems to me, to prove the lineage, that someone is going to find a scroll or some other deeply guarded documentary evidence, any other guesses?

Howland Reed is still alive IIRC.... Meera/Jojen's father.... he has firsthand knowledge, so he could confirm it theoretically.

Maybe he already told Meera and when Bran tells her of his latest vision she'll be like "no shit, I could have told you that" and then some birds will hear about it and spread it all over the fuckin' place.

R+L=J would take Jon out of the Winterfell discussion, he would go from Ned's bastard son to Ned's bastard (maybe legit) nephew. It would put him in play for the Targaryen version of the Iron Throne. With the exception of Gendry are there even any blood Berateons left? Stannis burned his and Renly was a... uh confirmed bachelor.

I am now officially in GOT withdrawal. After watching an amazing amount of replays, I actually counted the number of times Jon hit Ramsey at Winterfell. It was an official 21 gun salute to Ramsey's head:)

I started watching season 1 over and knowing what I know now it's always been pretty obvious that LF was always gonna make a play for the iron throne.

-He poisoned Jon Aaryn
-He kept Ned in Kings Landing when he was ready to bail
-He betrayed Ned to Lanisters

Those 3 things basically started the War of Five Kings

-He killed Joffery
-Befriend Sansa
-Sold Sansa to the Boltens

Those 3 throngs wiped out the Boltens and severely injured the Lanisters.

LF told his whore that he learned that he couldn't fight for what he wanted after he lost Cat to Ned's brother. He said instead he was going to "fuck everyone" because that's what he knew and he's been fucking everyone pretty hard.

"She was betrothed to marry Brandon Stark of Winterfell, but he was brutally murdered by the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen after Prince Rhaegar had kidnapped Brandon's sister Lyanna. Catelyn instead married Brandon's brother, Eddard. Though they barely knew one another when they wed they have formed a strong and loving marriage"

Yeah. That's what I thought.
