Side note that would make Danys, Jons, and Tyrions mothers all die at child birth. They are the three dragons.
The only exception would by if Tywin kept Tyrion around it wouldn't be because he loved his wife. It would'vebeen to save the Lannister name from a scandal [Reply]

That's what I led off with, just not worded as well as you. [Reply]

Tyrion as a Targ is possible, and certainly the books have hinted at it being a possibility by talking about Tywin's wife and King Aerys possibly having an affair and King Aerys taking certain "liberties" with her when they did the bedding ceremony at Tywin's wedding (though that would not be the right timing for Tyrion, it would possibly apply to Jaime and Cersei though). Tyrion is obsessed with dragons in the books and reads everything he can find about them.
All that being said, I feel like having two hidden Targs (three if you count Aegon) is a bit much, even for GRRM. I also don't think Aegon is a real Targ, or even if he is, that he will live long enough to be the third head of the dragon (it is telling that the show left him out completely). So I still think it will be Dany and Jon and the third will be Bran warging one of the dragons. But who knows, it could go a lot of different ways still. [Reply]

It provides a brief spoiler-free synopisis or "scorecard" for each episode that is geared toward helping people who have not read the books understand the background and characters (there are a ton and they can be hard to keep track of at first, so these really help to clarify who is who and what is happening). It is worth the time for new viewers to read the scorecard after watching each episode, especially in the first season. They are not very long, but they have a lot of useful info for non-readers.
