That was the mad king, correct? Is that supposed to be some sort of foreshadowing? The Mad King is Aerys. Aegon was the original Targ who conquered Westeros. Given Bran's line "Robert's rebellion was built on a lie", there are some pretty clear parallels there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in Game of Thrones can they show a guy screwing his aunt while a 3rd person narrator confirms that it's incest and somehow that doesn't bother people.

Name wasn't taken any more. Which kind of makes it weird to me lol. "sorry your other Aegon died, but here's a replacement" Would have preferred Jaehaerys.

sunnygsm Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So anyone have thoughts about what the deal was with Tyrion? That was the one odd part of the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_shadows Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The only thing that pissed me off was using the actor who played viserys to play rheagar in the flashback.... That's just lazy! Sure they were brothers but they weren't twins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The white walkers are lethargic and stupid and like 8 guys killed about a thousand of them and only lost one. But he turns a dragon and it can destroy the whole wall in seconds. Not a big complainer. But Theon whooping that dude was ridiculous soooooooooo pissed they killed Littlefinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Rhaegar ran away with Lyanna and secretly married her because Elia was to weak to have anymore children or something like that so Lyanna named him Raegar as an honor to the ancestor and the lost child with Eia I'm thinking..?

That's just lazy! Sure they were brothers but they weren't twins ? They've done that a couple of times. I know that the older actor who played Tommen also played a Lannister kid who was killed earlier. Not sure if it was the same though.

Given Bran's line "Robert's rebellion was built on a lie", there are some pretty clear parallels there. Yeah, though somewhat odd... Rhaegar already had a son named Aegon with Elia Martell. And even if Lyanna was aware of Rhaegar having been killed by Robert at the Trident (not even sure if Ned knew that yet when he arrived at the Tower of Joy), she wouldn't have known about the Mountain going Targ-genocidal with Elia and her kiddos.
