'Game of Thrones': Will Season 8 see Jon Snow kill his newfound love, Daenerys? Here's what we know
After it was confirmed in Season 7 of HBO's 'Game of Thrones' that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) have confessed their feelings for each other, fans have been wondering if the two Dragons will be up against each other in Season 8. While Jon and Daenerys surrendered themselves to each other, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wight) began to explain in a voiceover that Jon is actually a Targaryen, the love child of his aunt, Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, the late Prince of Dragonstone. However, when Lyanna died in her childbirth and Rhaegar was murdered by Lord Robert Baratheon, the Lord of Storm's End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, Jon was taken in as Ned Stark's so-called bastard.
With this expensive and highly controversial secret being revealed, Jon is now believed to be just as rightful an heir to the Iron Throne as all the rest who are trying to spill blood over it. Fans are wondering if this secret is actually more of a curse for the man who basically fell in love with his aunt. One fan stated on Reddit, "I think maybe Jon will have to behead/kill someone important, possibly a loved one, possibly Dany, as part of the finale, because the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." Another fan claimed, "Yes. I'm just haunted by Emilia Clarke's statement about how ~bothered~ she is regarding how fans will feel about the character in the end."
