Hey, just quick observation. Now if you haven't finished the novels, I will throw out a big SPOILER ALERT! But i think pretty much everyone on this site has read all the books. Anyway, it has been speculated upon and/or theorized that Jon Snow is the famed "Prince That Was Promised." Pretty much everything I and others have put together also ( Read more... )

Ultimate misdirection anonymous November 4 2008, 12:18:28 UTC

Hi Pesci

I think Martin is tipping his hand by forcing us to think of Jon Snow as PWP and that is an ultimate misdirection whereas I think what he has done s separated the common trope of an orphan being the promised saviour and being the heir to the kingdom.

While Jon might be a heir he's not the PWP .... Dany is the PWP. what do you say

I don't know, he has dropped to many hints pointing towards Jon and then he tried to misdirect us by having Maester Aemon comment on how they were all wrong, and they should have been looking for a princess that was promised(Danny). Now if we want to get into it, GRRM has spent too much time on Jon and keeping his past a secret. What was Ned's promise to Lyanna (Ice)? Probably to keep her son (Jon) safe from Robert. Why? Because Jon is Rhaegar's (Fire) son. The Song of Ice and Fire is Jon. The third head of the dragon, Jon and his half brother Aegon and half sister Rhaenys Targaryen. There has to be three, Danny's vision shows Rhaegar saying this, he needed 1 more kid to complete the prophecy. We know Rhaegar knew about the prophecies, which led him to becoming a warrior. He knows what is coming...Winter...oooooooohhhhh, scary! And Jon Snow knows the same thing ( ... )

The PWP is Patchface (or is it patches...I'm too lazy to look it up). There, I said it. We were all thinking it, but I am the only one brave enough to say it (or as brave as anyone posting annonymously can be). Lets just say I am as brave as I am serious.
