I’ve mentioned Lena Headey’s twitter prowess a couple of times this week but I haven’t once mentioned her character on Game of Thrones. To be honest I’ve been staying away from any kind of GOT speculation and have been trying to be as far away as possible from any kind of leaks or plot details. I’m taking the “surprise” approach this year. Not that the show is going to be giving much away before the premiere but I’d rather not believe too many things prior to even seeing what the show will offer us. That said, it was hard to ignore a recent fan theory I came across and it involves a potential bad fate of Cersei Lannister. Spoilers ahead: This theory popped up on Reddit recently
To quote the end of Cersei’s prophecy, “When your tears have drowned you, the Valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.” Since the Valonqar is Valyrian for the little brother, most people think that Jaime, or maybe Tyrion, will kill Cersei. I think that in a show as unpredictable of Game of Thrones, this is too obvious. The Valonqar means “the little brother”, not Cersei’s little brother. So Cersei’s murderer could be anyone who is a little brother. But saying this in Valyrian suggests that the person will have Valyrian blood. The Targaryens have Valyrian blood. Jon Snow is a Targaryen. He is the little brother of Rhaenys and Aegon. He wants to kill Cersei. I think it is very likely that he does.
What do you guys think? Hopefully none of you even read this and are taking the same blind approach to the show this season as I am.
