Or even: "What GRRM did in book six was a big lie, and the subtle truth, that smart readers can detect, is different."
I mean, when you've written tens of thousands of posts in which you've endorsed one theory as the only possible one, the one that all smart people believe, the one that if you don't believe, you must be a flat Earther... not even a theory, unwritten canon...
...it's hard to then say "Oh, I see, I was wrong all those years, in all those tens of thousands of posts, with all of my completely uninformed remarks."
If someone were to make such arrogant and incorrect posts for many years, and then be afraid of looking stupid, one might even say "Of course, I've often strenuously argued points I knew to be wrong."
Sort of a hedge on failure, like an insurance policy, even though it would reveal one to be a master bullshitter.

That cracks me up. I never read that thread. Too many words.

It cracks me up seeing Ran try to hedge his bets by claiming that for years he's been arguing for the wrong thing on purpose, without specifying what it was.

If Jon Show's parents are explained to us, will that be a spoiler for Jon Snow's parents?We won't really know that for sure either. I really believe the show runners don't know the answer to that riddle.In that case i think they are just like us.Enough interviews have been revealed to indicate GRRM asked a question concerning who his "mother" was and left it at that.That being said if the show says RLJ and proponents start celebrating we can look to GRRM's own words regarding this matter.We won't know if its spoilers or not.

I'm not sure if this should go here; be counted as a spoiler.... There are several images of Bloodraven and Bran where Bran is not crippled and BR looks a little younger. So we can guess these are visions past or present. in this image; there seems to be a fight going on behind Bloodraven. Could this be the battle at the Tower of Joy? Bloodraven 1Several of the images show Bloodraven making physical contact. Could this be the HBO way of showing Bloodraven mentoring Bran? Bran looks like he is going into his fugue state: 8840-presscdn-0-18.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bran-and-the-three-eyed-crow.jpgOnce again, Bran is being shown something, somewhere: Bloodraven 3 And last, the Night's King also takes hold of Bran's arm: Night's King

The look on BR's face is also kind of telling. He looks desperately sad, as if he's watching someone he loves die or something. But I can't think who in that party would cause such a reaction from him. Arthur Dayne? Lyanna, if she's even there?

I'm still stuck on the elimination of house Martell so early on in the show. While part of me is hoping that it's just the show getting rid of extra characters due to fAegon not being in the show, thus that whole arc of the Martells possibly backing him is unnecessary, I'm also thinking this might be a bit of spoiler to the books.
What I'm thinking is that all Doran's plans crumble. He's managed to subdue the Sand Snakes and Arianne, but he's yet to hear about Quentyn. So that's one plan shot to hell. Then, say he does back fAegon, and that goes south too, probably due to JonCon and his greyscale, that'll be another plan of his scuppered. Finally, the Sand Snakes sent to King's Landing may not be as effective as he thinks. Say one of them manages to kill Tommen, leaving Myrcella as the only heir to the throne (her 'gold will be their crowns' moment) and due to the events Arianne contrived, Myrcella turns on them, exposes them and breaks her marriage contract with Trystane. And there goes that one, possibly with Tryst being held as hostage or even killed.
So, while I don't think it foretells the death of house Martell in a literal sense, it may in a political sense. They'll be left powerless. Doran may die of natural causes, or possibly poisoned by his maester with too much poppy juice for the pain of his gout. The Martells maybe stripped of their position as ruling house. Arianne will inherit a weak and possibly deposed throne.

while I don't think it foretells the death of house Martell in a literal sense, it may in a political sense. Not sure if anything can be determined by looking at the past or not, but I'll try to list what should happen if my theory proves true. If the Martells are reliving the Lannisters from the past, but getting the opposite results, then their plans to crown Myrcella should have worked. The Lannisters plotted to prevent Lyanna from being crowned, but then a (Cersei) Lannister was successful in her pursuit to be queen. So, Myrcella should have been crowned, but Cersei's inversion, Arianne will fail...that's probably why they didn't even bother casting an Arianne for the show. Furthermore, if they killed off Trystane that means his inversion, Tyrion will live.

So basically, what I'm saying might be spoilers for the books based on what happened in the first episode, is pointing to what you're finding as well. I'm saying Myrcella will be crowned because her brother will die. Tommen might even be the inversion of Tyrion, meaning Tyrion will live.

The inversion of Myrcella was Lyanna, but only because in the books GRRM used "little Myrcella" as symbolic of the marriage alliance. The inversion of Cersei's children should have been Arianne's children, if she were to ever have any. Quentyn and Trystane are Arianne's brothers, so the inversion would be Cersei's brothers.
