Not sure what you mean "Ned got to them before the Targarians could or they would have probably killed Lyanna"...?

I believe that the Targarians in King's Landing were furious that he ran off with her and were actively trying to track them down (again its been a long time since I read this stuff)

Who knows what the Mad King would have done? But, Lyanna would have made a sweet war hostage if Aerys could have found her and pried her out of that tower.

so.. if Rhaegar didnt 'kidnap' Lyanna, and she wanted to be with him, does that make Robert Baratheon, Ned Stark, and Jon Arryn the bad guys of our little story?

At this point, the protagonists and antagonists are a matter of how one perceives them.

I like to think that Robert, Ned, and Jon were protagonists considering how the Mad King had Lord Rickard and Brandon Stark executed. Grant it, there was a lot of build up before that moment, but that moment was essentially the pot boiling over.

Even if the pretenses for the war were incorrect, that doesn't make the Mad King a good person or any more deserving of sitting on the throne.

So much for that theory.
Doesn't mean Jon shared that power tho.

no, thats a show change. Targs are simply not immune to fire. go look up the tragedy at summerhall

I think that's what the King's Guard was there for. Once she gave birth, it was their job to use wilfire to burn the tower down with her inside it, Nissa Nissa style. Ned found her in a bed of blood so he got there just in time to prevent it. He probably found the tower already set up for burning when he arrived. They were just waiting for the baby to be born.

Rhaegar had us all fooled! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I thought taking Lyanna away from Rhaegar was just a matter of her safety. If there was a war brewing, what was to say that she wouldn't be killed like Elia?

Maybe some of you should join a game of thrones fanfic forum?

Nah, the normies out there eat this pile of shit in spoon fulls with glee. I should know, I know plenty of friends and cousins who are just claiming how awesome these past few episodes have been and I'm just stunned since they have been hilariously bad.

Yeah my sample pool is relatively small. Guess I'm out of touch.

I know a guy who quit over the way Ser Loras was portrayed. He lasted a few seasons and when the gay stuff got heavier (The episode where they cut away from an action scene immediately to a frame of Loras naked in bed with his lover) he thumped the books and said the show had sold out to the gay agenda.

I was inclined to agree, on the basis that if being gay was allowed in Martin's world he would have outed him in the books instead of stopping short of anything but a "hint" (very liberal use of the word hint here, I can't recall anything except that Loras was feminine for a knight). Loras on the show is shown only being persecuted by the church. Yet another one of D&D's liberties.
