AS TALL AS A KING


I’m reading all the books again a second time around and its as good as if I were reading them for the first time.

Anyway, during the feast in honour of King Robert at Winterfell when Jon Snow, hurt by a comment from his uncle Benjen Stark goes outside and has a short conversation with the dwarf, Tyrion Lannister, did anybody else think that the last sentence of that chapter, when Tyrion opens the doors to go back inside and the light throws his shadow out and in that moment Tyrion stands as “tall as a king.” is very profound and probably prophetic.

I know that with there being Jon Snow (who may not be dead), Aegon Targaryen (or Young Griff) and Daenerys Targaryen, it seems like the three heads of the dragon may be complete, but what if Tyrion is one of the heads….? Fine he’s not a targaryen..(at least we don’t think so, there's no mention that Aerys ever fulfilled his wish of having Tywin Lannister’s wife)… okay,, its far-fetched… but it’s a theory that has found a place in my head.

Anyway, dragon or no dragon….. I do believe that at the end of the series, a wiser Sansa will actually be proud to call Tyrion her husband, or Prince…. She likes princes.
