This week's Game of Thrones [1] featured a meeting we've been waiting our whole lives (OK, seven seasons) for: the one between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen [2]. Though they're not immediate BFFs at first — their family histories [3] make them uneasy about each other — Tyrion helps Daenerys to strategize in her partnership with Jon by giving him dragonglass. The funny thing about all their interactions, though, is that they're related [4], and if they had this info, it would change everything.

Not only do these two seem destined for each other [5] (A Song of Ice and Fire . . . hello!), but they are also related by blood: Rhaegar Targaryen is Daenerys's brother and Jon's father, making Daenerys his aunt. I'm not being gross when I say they should get married; I'm just going along with Game of Thrones custom. (It's a whole lot better than the old Targaryen custom [6] of brothers and sisters marrying.)

What's most interesting about their being related are all the offhand references in this episode — Daenerys saying she's the last Targaryen (nuh-uh) and the scene where they talk outside, with Jon admiring her dragons. "I named them for my brothers: Viserys and Rhaegar," she says, and obviously the name Rhaegar means nothing to Jon now, but it will very soon, hopefully . . . if he finds out who his parents are [7] this season.

Obviously, if Jon knew Rhaegar was his dad, all of his interactions with Dany would be very different — especially that whole bending-the-knee conversation. Can't wait until they really find out.
