We already knew that - Brandon saw it in a vision. The reason Ned Stark lied to his wife and everyone else about Jon being his bastard was to protect the child from Ned's best broseph, King Robert Baratheon, who hated the targaryans and would have killed the child. Jon's mother is Ned's wife's sister, so Jon is Ned's nephew, and Daenerys is Jon's aunt.

The bomb is that the knowledge is recorded in a book and was just read out loud to Samwell Tarly, who - if he remembers it - could potentially tell Jon Snow. And the book, which I guess is the memoirs of the maester who made it all happen, would probably be strong enough proof to convince everyone important, so they don't have to rely on Bran's testimony.

What I wonder is if the story will resolve with Daenerys marrying Jon. Which, OK, incestuous, but the Targaryans famously married sister to brother for generations to preserve their bloodline... and Jon is the last of the targaryans still alive, other than Daenerys.

e. also I think it might mean Jon is immune to fire, which could be a reason for why the Red Priestess lady knew he was important. Something something fire and ice etc.

The reveal was that he wasn't a bastard born out of wedlock, but of legitimate birth in an actual marriage. Up to this point I don't believe Rheagar leaving his wife had been revealed, outside of he was in love with Ned's sister, who was previously engaged/betrothed to Robert.

Ohh, right OK - I think that might have been different in the books.

Note that he just conveniently hooked up with Robert Baratheon's last living child and therefore heir to the iron throne, based on the Baratheon bloodline.

e. And Samwell Tarly's dad and older brother just got roasted, so he's heir to the Tarly house.

I don't think grrm even knows how he was/is going to do it but he's definitely going to kill more of the most important people. You can tell how little he's involved now because none of the characters we care about are getting murdered any more.

I think he has a general idea about most things, he just lost interest in actually making it happen long ago. I don't think the show is that different, just with a lot of chaff cut off.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
They have to conveniently make the household heads all friends because Cersei is going to be loving poo poo and not actually lift a finger because she thinks the White Walkers are bullshit (even if Jon & Co. bring her one and she's going to say everyone else's claim on the throne is bullshit. They need to unite the houses against Cersei, take her out, and take out the White Walkers all in the handful of episodes left. They had to take a shortcut somewhere.
