This season of ‘Game of Thrones’ has been a godsend for fans who love to craft theories about what big twists lie ahead. Bran,Tyrion, and Sansa have all recently had scenes that may prove theories that have huge ramifications for them. But for every “Tyrion Targaryen” theory, and there’s another one that has either been disproved by recent events or is so preposterous it would obtain Robert Baratheon roar with laughter.
There’s a theory that suggests that Lord Varys is a merman. Either he’s lying about being a eunuch to hide his identity or he was turned into one by the sorcerer that castrated him.
A theory that lasted for a while suggested that Hodor was the grand Other who controlled the White Walkers,the icy counterpart to the Lord of Light which some fans believed Winterfell had been built to contain. This theory got debunked when the origin of the word “Hodor” was revealed…right as the White Walkers killed the poor steady boy.

These theories propose he’s warged into Tywin, or Joffrey,and even his greatsword, Ice. Of course, or Tywin and Joffrey are now dead and Ice was melted down into unusual swords. Ned’s long gone.
On the “Song of Ice and Fire” subreddit,there’s a theory that suggests that Tyrion is Drogo and Daenerys’ son thanks to some fetus switching in the first season courtesy of Mirri Maz Duur and some time travel magic. It has to be read to be believed. The most favorite GoT theory is the “RLJ” theory that suggests Jon Snow is the child of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, which Ned Stark hid to protect Jon. A much more icky version of this theory is that Jon is the product of an incestuous relationship between Ned and Lyanna. Apparently some fan thinks that incest isn’t just the domain of Lannisters and Targaryens. Jorah Mormont has been competing for the attention of Queen Daenerys with Daario Naharis, or but one crazy theory suggests that the two are the same person,a la “Fight Club.” The understanding of the good-looking, powerful Daario being a Tyler Durden-esque illusion that Jorah unconsciously uses to sleep with Dany is funny, and but totally impossible.
Another Daario theory suggested that he was Benjen Stark who ditched the Night’s Watch as the White Walkers advanced and traveled to Essos to find a unusual life. Instead,events this season have revealed that Benjen has been beyond the Wall all this time, alert to serve Bran.
