It's what the majority of fans think about how this all ends. So no, its not tinfoil. He's the son of a Tarrgaryen. So is Jon Snow. Put Danerys in there and you have your 3 dragon riders.
This is all speculation. It's been the main theory from before the TV series by book readers. No one knows for sure. There is nothing in the books about this. Just fan theory. [Reply]

Definitely tinfoil.
Also, the 3 heads of the dragon do not need to be all Targaryens. [Reply]

I like this theory simply for the hilarity. [Reply]
You're in a thread about a TV series based on a collection of books numbering well over four thousand pages (and counting) devoted to mythical kingdoms, magic, the rise of the undead, dragons and other fantasy creatures. I'm just surprised that there are so many normal people following it. [Reply]

Meera doesn't need to be Jon's secret twin to be a rider. Also, Tyrion doesn't need to be a secret Targaryen to be a rider. Neither does Arya, Bran, Theon, Varys, Sandor or Moonboy for all I know. There's nothing saying that all 3 dragon riders need to be Targaryens.
There's not really anything saying that there will be 3 dragon riders either, just that "the dragon will have 3 heads". It's not even really a prophecy, just a Targaryen tradition based on their first conquest. Since there are 3 dragons, there are technically already 3 dragon heads.
This is all assuming that the prophecies are legitimate in the first place. This is pretty questionable since most prophecies come through dreams and visions, and we already know of one character that can manipulate other people's dreams and visions. [Reply]

Oh I agree. Realize it would take a nerd to even understand what you were talking about enough to know it's nerdy. [Reply]

In the books, Tyrion was always reading about dragons. He is the one that came up with the wildfire idea in the second book/season. The dragons took an immediate liking to him instead of making roasted dwarf. Lastly, in the books he has the blonde/white hair that is typical of Targaryens. [Reply]
