“Game of Thrones” Season 8 is now surrounded with a lot of theories and assumptions of what is going to happen next in the life of the much-loved characters. This involves what is going to transpire to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow’s (Kit Harington) incestuous relationship.
To recall, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) revealed that his bastard brother is actually a real Targaryen and his true name is Aegon in the previous season finale, “The Dragon and the Wolf.” Will Dany and Jon have a child, although Mirri Maz Duur said she can’t bear a baby?
A possible heir to the Iron Throne
In a very quick interview, a fan asked Kit Harington if he is going to be a dad in “Game of Thrones” Season 8 at the Italian Grand Prix.
“Do you become a father in Season 8?” the fan asked.
The 30-year-old star just looked at his fan, smiled a little, and laughed it off. As he neither denied nor admitted the prediction, some fans believe that Jon Snow will father Daenery’s child. Peter Dinklage, who plays the role of Tyrion Lannister, said in the television series’ behind-the-scene interview (via Digital Spy) that “GoT” is no place for a happy love story. So, their brewing relationship might not work.
However, if Dany is going to have a kid, it will solve the line of succession problem that Tyrion often talked about in the previous season. Although the Khaleesi always claim that she has children with her dragons, these creatures can’t simply sit on the iron throne.
The return of gory deaths
Another theory is if Jon Snow and Daenerys are going to get married. If they ever have a kid and remain unwedded, he might father a bastard.
To recall, the reason why he joined the Night’s Watch is to avoid having a bastard child. However, Elite Daily reported that if they ever get wedded, their kid could be a true-born Targaryen but an orphan along the way.
Kit Harington said in an earlier interview (via Digital Spy) that “Game of Thrones” Season 8 might be full of major characters’ death.
Will this include Jon and Dany? As the previous season only had a few die compared to its previous seasons, the upcoming installment will be full of unexpected loss of lives.
Rose Leslie’s partner warned “GoT” fans to get ready as the television show is going to be back to its original theme of “killing its main characters quickly.” "They're going to go, and they're going to go fast,” he revealed. He added that as the major roles were kept safe this season, in the coming new chapter, there will be a “bloodbath.”
“Game of Thrones” Season 8 is expected to return in 2019 on HBO.
