    Does anyone have the pornhub data on this? I've never been to a pornographic website but @Jontro tells me these videos are popping up more on the home pages than they used to. (It's all fake, of course, but still, Jontro says there has been an uptick.)

    That speech from Jon Snow to Theon Greyjoy was a speech to himself. Seeing he's a Targaryen & a Stark. All that mumbo jumbo about not having to split loyalty was a speech to Theon now and a speech to his later self when he finds out. Maybe Greyjoy reminds Jon of that speech later in season 8?? Whaddayathink? Amipossiblyrite?

    Jaime and Cersei's parents' union is rather incestuous also.

    Tywin Lannister's paternal grandfather is brother to his wife Joanna's father. They are first cousins once removed, I think. Joanna, like Dany is to Jon, is one generation above Tywin.

    If that was the case, it would certainly be interesting. Like what similar powers do they both possess etc? But I feel like they've already established the origins of the white walkers. The little green people that live underground created them out of men to combat some group that was overpowering them. The Andals maybe?

    Ithinkyouareright. The show isn't hiding much about anything anymore.
    Jon's situation makes it easier to accept being both Stark and Targ, cos of his parents were that. Theon's all Greyjoy, who's dad gave him away to the Stark, and once he grew up and accepted the Stark boys (especially Robb) as brothers, his birthdad guilt trips the **** out of him. I really love the Greyjoys in the book. And I thought their house lore and myth about Naga, the sea dragon, was really interesting.

    I had to research this, but yes, you're right. They were first cousins once removed. Second cousins have to be of the same generation. So Joanna's children and their mother are second cousins. That's a bit weird.

    You got to excuse them, they don't have a huge dating market during Middle Ages.

    I think the Mother of TVwriters spelled it out a few pages back. The CotF and the First Men (Northeners) first got into it, the CotF made the first White Walker (the Night King) as a weapon to beat the First Men. Syit got out of hand and they end up having to team up with the enemy (FM) to defeat the out-of-control enemy they created (WW). Pretty stupid I know, but it works in combining TV and books.
    The FM either never knew about how WW were created or they forgot like how they forgot about WW. Then the wall was built and then only the Andals came to cut out the trees with their steel swords.

    In the books they never mentioned about the scene where the First Man was turned into the White Walker. In this article, http://io9.gizmodo.com/heres-what-h...source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
    the book's WW origins is still unknown.
    "They could just be a natural entity found in the far frozen north, rarely encountered over the years because of the impossible hostile climate they live in, or they could be a tribe of First Men killed and resurrected by dark magics for some mysterious reason. Either way, the long winter—eventually referred to as the Long Night—allowed them to march further south into the lands occupied by the Children and the First Men, sacking their villages and turning the survivors into wights like themselves

    The Last Hero
    When the Others first invaded the south, the Children and the First Men were outmatched by a relentless army that couldn’t die, but only grew stronger with every person they killed, and both societies were pushed further and further into the south of Westeros. Legends from the northern regions of current Westeros state that in the darkest days of the Long Night, the First Men discovered that wights could be killed by dragonglass, the weapon of choice coveted by the Children of the Forest. A figure known only as the Last Hero supposedly trekked through the White Walker-occupied regions to plead with the Children to lend their dragonglass weapons to beat back the Others, with all of his companions—down to his faithful dog—perishing over the course of the journey, until he reached the Children and gained their trust.

    With the ability to fight back against the White Walkers, the alliance between the First Men and the Children pushed back the Others bit by bit. A group of men used the shared dragonglass to fight back against the Others alongside the Last Hero, becoming an early incarnation of the Night’s Watch. Eventually, the White Walker horde was pushed back into the Northern wastes it came from in a grand battle called the Battle for the Dawn, ending the Long Night and resoundingly routing the Others. It was then that Bran the Builder—the legendary founder of House Stark—supposedly raised the Wall, a structure of ice and Children magic that stretched across Westeros, and entrusted the Night’s Watch to guard it, ensuring that the Others could never threaten Westeros again.

    The Rise of the Night King
    Unfortunately, the newly formed Night’s Watch nearly failed in their new quest almost immediately (or, at least “immediately” in the grand scheme of 8,000 years). The 13th commander of the Watch fell in love with a mysterious woman with pale blue eyes and icy skin, widely believed to be a female White Walker. After making love to the woman, the Commander’s soul was bound to hers, and he returned to the Watch to place his men under their thrall, declaring themselves their King and Queen and committing countless atrocities. When it was discovered that the Night King was making sacrifices to the Others beyond the Wall, the Free Folk and House Stark made an alliance to defeat the King and his forces. When the Night’s Watch resumed its duties following their victory, the Commander’s name and history was stricken from their records, cast aside and forbidden to be spoken of ever again. Up until the recent events of Game of Thrones, it would be the last time the Others would threaten the peace of Westeros for thousands of years.

    The TV show has revealed its version of the Night King to have been a human who was turned into the first White Walker by the Children of the Forest. His purpose was to be used as a weapon against the First Men after the Children magically embedded a dragonglass dagger in his torso, revealed in the season six episode “The Door.” This version clearly contradicts the Night King discussed in the books, as the Night’s Watch would not be created until many years after this event

    Ohhhh... just thought about something. The A-Team up fighting the wights are going to need Cersei's dragon killing giganto crossbow-thingy. They'll have to load it up with giant dragonglass spears to get rid of the plasma spitting wight-dragon. Cersei's going to be a hero!!! Finally! I've been wanting to cheer for her since she got rid of the High Sparrow and all his followers. I hated Geoffrey, but not nearly as much as the sparrow guys. Easily my most hated entity in the whole series of books/shows. Reminds me of religious zealots that want to rule any country. ****, not everyone believes in your religion. My American/Constitutional anger strings get pulled on by that crap. Not that I want all religious zealots to die, but I do want them far from power. Geaux Cersei!

    I think you just wrote an SNL skit. Tinder for Westeros. Or Game of Tinder. Who cares what they call it, jokes are there.

    I think that Ozzy Man reviewer is the real Mother of TVwriters. He gives strong reasons to love this season.

    Oh, snap. We might get sea dragons to save the day out of no where, like wiping out Euron's fleet ferrying 20k mercenaries Now that's Hollywood.

    There is a pretty decent app for political marriages, though. Margery Tyrell got 3 husbands out of it.

    Or maybe as a final desperation move she stabs the good guys in the back by shooting the dragons with that thing, creating a huge mayhem. :eek:
