All this anticipation for the new season has got me reading sh!t on the internet. What about this little nugget?
Tyrion is a Targaryen
According to this theory, Tyrion, the character played by Peter Dinklage, is not the son of Tywin Lannister. All this time, he was actually the child of the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen – who supposedly slept with Tywin's wife, Joanna Lannister. "In George RR Martin's books, the physical attributes of Tyrion (eye colour, hair, etc.) are described as being different than his relatives," explains Tim Falkenberg for New Media RockStars.
"Tyrion has a 'black' eye (the Mad King's are described as purple) and pale blonde hair similar to the Mad King." Fans of the television show have also trawled through previous episodes to find evidence to back up the claim.
They note that, after the Battle of the Blackwater, Tywin told Tyrion: "Mens' laws give you the right to bear my name and display my colours since I cannot prove that you are not mine." And of course, when Tyrion killed Tywin, the dying man's last words were: "You are no son of mine."
Jon, Danny, Tyrion as the 3 Dragon Riders?
