I agree with everything else and also think the spoilers are fake and bad, but now that we know Rhaegar actually married Lyanna Stark, Jon's a legitimate Targ, so a Jon/Dany child wouldn't be a bastard.

But thanks to all the inbreeding in the Targayen line it would have a gene pool shallower than Joffreys...

In It For The Tank posted:

Euron is certainly being set up as a major player for the next phase of the story and his narrative trajectory seems like it will bring him into conflict with Dany (through dragon theft) and Cersei (by invading the Reach) but there's also foreshadowing that he'll ally with one or both of them (Dany's dream about a blue-lipped lover + House of the Undying vision of one her lovers being represented by a corpse on the prow of a ship smiling sadly; Aeron has a fever dream after ingesting Shade of the Evening in which he sees Euron handing around a figure that is probably Cersei [or Dany] + their alliance on the show). Thematically, one can also interpret Euron as a kind of Anti-Bran, since there's the implication that he was once groomed by the Three Eyed Crow like Bran was (the crow imagery, one eye imagery, dreams of flying as a child) and he's like the only character in the series who is embracing magic and exploiting it to acquire power, so he has the potential to be a lasting antagonist.

Really, I like Euron being the final antagonist in a kind of Saruman at the Scouring of the Shire kind of the way because his inclusion in the story is kind of "forced"* (and I mean that in a good way): he's the type of monster that can only rise to prominence as a result of the chaos created by the War of the Five Kings (hence his true introduction in AFFC, which deals with the postwar) so he's clawed his way into the story and will claw his way to the top by exploiting blood magic and god knows what else (if we're looking at all the vague Lovecraftian imagery with the Drowned God and the history of the Iron Islands in TWOIAF). I've seen other people speculate that the show has cribbed the "Night's King steals a dragon and burns down the Wall" thing from Book Euron, and, while I wouldn't go that far, for him to do something catastrophic like that would fit with what we know about him. Anyone interested in knowing more should go read Poor Quentyn's Eldritch Apocalypse theory which, while a bit out there, is a fun read.

* see also Aegon, who is a pretender in every sense of the word as he is designed from the ground up to steal Jon and Dany's thunder as both Rhaegar's lost son in hiding and the exiled heir to the throne returning to reclaim their birthright.

AKA Victarion in the book of course, book Euron is a non-character.

This one is good too. If Nikolaj and Lena act good (which they usually do) and the scene is well directed (which lately usually isn't) in order to follow the music's beats this could be a really great scene.

Music is composed and performed to conform to the final version of picture, not vice versa. I'm just glad nobody's blaming Ramin Djawadi for anything, his poo poo is excellent.

Victarion's a tremendously fun character but he's a chump doomed to die. Euron has been built up to be a big deal (tm) throughout the second half of the story, especially after what we see in Aeron's TWOW chapter.

To be fair, even Jorah thinks her name is Kelly C. He was even addressing her as such in his suicide letter, like come on man, you are writing a heartfelt letter, drop the honorifics.

read the spoilers that are being thrown around, and has anyone pointed out that the reason they have got to be fan fiction is because they were posted before the dickish Maesters were laughing at the prophecy about the drowned god killing Euron the conquer, and they don't take that Obvious Clue into account?

Yeah I was just thinking that. If that leak is 100% made-up some of it will still end up happening just because it's a logical direction for the story to go in. Like there's about a 99% chance there will be a battle at Winterfell and that the heroes will lose the battle, just because that's a logical place for the white walkers to go next and it would be pretty anticlimactic to beat them in the first fight.

Jorah is her brother? And when did Jon find out last season who his real father is???

so is generics and Jon Snow cousins???

Nope. King Robert was Ned Starks best friend and is Jon's father. Jon's mother was Ned Starks sister.

Jamie is a Targaryen. Jamie is Azor Ahai.

Though I mean, say what you will about the Big Bang Theory but Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco are better at acting than Kit and Emilia, so maybe they deserve more?
