Yeah, Jon Snow is the son of the old mad king Rhegar Targaryean, Dany's father, the one who was killed by Jaime the Kingslayer
Jon's mother is Liana Stark, Ned's sister.
Close but not quite. Jon is the grandson of the Mad King (Aerys) not his son. His dad was Rhaegar, the prince & heir to the iron throne. Rhaegar was the older brother of Dany, making Jon her nephew.

Bran is one option. When he got touched by the Night's King, that let them pass through the magic in the 3 eyed Raven's cave. The same magic is in the wall.
The other option they have (and I don't think it's been mentioned in the show) is that there is supposedly a magic horn somewhere north of the wall that has the power to bring the wall crashing down. In the books, Mance Rayder says he has it and threatens to use it unless Jon Snow lets the wildlings through but it turns out to be a fake & they never found the real one so maybe the white walkers have it?

I think the Mountain is destined to meet his brother, now that the Hound has returned to the show and, like Jamie, is redeeming himself for some of the bad things he's done. It makes for a better fight than a one armed Jamie too.

They can go a couple ways with Jamie. If he dies, I think it'll be at Brienne's hands (based on the "next time we see other it will be on the battlefield" thing they did at river run a couple episodes ago. But if Tyrion is able to convince Danny to let him live, it might be as the newest member of the nights watch (assuming it's still needed after the fight against the white walkers). My money is on him getting killed though.

As far as how abruptly they ended that storyline goes, that's part of their M.O.
The war of the 5 kings sure ended abruptly with the red wedding (maybe not officially since Stannis & greyjoy were still around). Ned stark's time on the show was ended rather quickly too!
Cercei did say she chooses violence so it was definitely coming to a head.
-
If you remember the prophecy she talked about previously, the last part was that she would be killed by her little brother. People have always assumed that meant Tyrion but now....

Loved the finale tonight. Definitely had some trademark shockers that I didn't expect. I thought it was a great season overall and they did a lot to bring it back in line with the books.
Next 2 seasons will only have 7 episodes each so I assume the pace will be fairly quickly.
-
I hope they're able to make more than 6 episodes next time. Loved letterkenny.

Noticing a trend. Jets' picks all steals. Are they that good or are we all homers?

So, he pisses off the EU. The man is a total jackass.
What makes him clueless in this case is that the Scots wanted to stay in the EU but he's tweeting like they got their wish. Scotland will most likely have another independence referendum because of Brexit.

Considering St. John is pretty close to a wasted draft pick I'd take that deal if I was Jones. Franklin could save their butts this year if Durant goes down, and Sask. would also be the right place, right time destination for Franklin to take over the starting QB role in a year or two.
Franklin is also a free agent at the end of the year so that's a high price to pay for someone who could bolt at the end of the year (I'm sure Montreal would be willing to over-spend on him).

I think it was brought up on riderfans by mike or IMWT but they nailed it when it came to montreal, a good starting 24, but a hot mess for depth. as long as they stay relatively healthy, I dont think theres a chance in hell they are worse then the riders. the riders have a couple good players but i think over all they are still lacking in both starters and depth, and it wouldnt be a stretch to think DD's time in sask is coming to an end.
Montreal is also the oldest team in the league... staying healthy with no depth might be a lot to ask.
-
Just Hervey's way of saying that Jones better bend over if he wants Franklin. For all the raiding they did from Edmonton on & off the field, the Riders will have to over-pay if they want to make a deal with them... I'm ok with that!

Better yet, be a man and don't waste good booze...
It's Bud & Bud Lite that they're selling for $5 so I'm not sure that qualifies as good booze... I'll drink it anyway though!

Punk's marketability and cross-over appeal is pretty much limited to wrestling fans though and a good number of those fans already watch mma. He never achieved Hogan or Rocky type cross-over into mainstream media & he has no other athletic achievements to fall back on. He might move the needle a little bit but it's not going to be record breaking by any stretch of the imagination.

Same here. Saw the thread at half time last night and was kicking myself for missing it. Also going with Wpg, Edm & Cal if possible to get in.

Somehow, these things manage to get pulled together in time. But this one is looking rough.
Yep, people thought Sochi was going to be a gong-show as well (and it did have it's moments) but this one looks like it's on a whole different level.
The Russian athletes might have lucked out by getting banned for this one!
-
That's assuming that he does a full camp like a real fighter would. Wouldn't be surprised if they eased up on the intensity, just so Punk could make it to fight day, given his history of injuries.
If/when he does fight, he'll be a one fight wonder... too old, too beat-up, too raw.

There were 3 events that kicked off the rebellion.
1) Lyana rode off with or was kidnapped (depending on who is telling the story) by Rhaegar so that pissed Robert off because they were engaged to be married.
2) The Mad king killed Ned's father & older brother when they came looking for Lyana.
3) The Mad king ordered Jon Arryn to kill his Ned & Robert (who he pretty much raised as Wards of the Vale). Arryn refused and rose up with Ned & Robert.
