Has Game Of Thrones Just Confirmed The Book Readers’ Biggest Theory?
R+L=J
Its difficult to imagine now, but there once was a time when Game Of Thrones was not a TV show. Back then, when the idea to adapt George R.R. Martins novels to television was no more than that, would-be showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff sat down with the author to discuss their plans for the show. In order to prove they were suitably qualified to handle the material, Martin asked them just one key question: who is Jon Snows mother? Obviously the answer they gave was right, and the rest is television history. Game Of Thrones is now one of the biggest shows on TV. Literally. Not just in terms of audience, but also the scale and budget, and within the show itself: its a vast, sprawling epic that covers a huge continent and has more characters than even Martin could ever kill off. Of course, this follows the path of the books, which are even more detailed. With so many stories, and stories within stories, following every little hint and potential plot thread is an extremely difficult task. So was the answer they gave that he really is Ned Starks bastard? Most book readers think not. There are a huge number of theories surrounding the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, from the likely to the ludicrous, but arguably non bigger than that of Jon Snows parentage. Now, in the fourth episode of the fifth season, the show looks like it has finally begun to address the issue as well. If, like Snow you know nothing, then continue reading to find out more
