The first season they took special care (imo) to make sure everyones hair was dyed/wigged up properly.... Lannister = Blond, Baratheon = Black, Stark = Brown, Tygarian = White/Silver... what color is Jon's hair... not that it breaks the theory and the rhaegar one makes the most sence...hell if it didn't why did they bother to have LF tell sansa (twice in one telling? kinda) about that harrenhall tourney... usualy the show does not included unneeded backstory just for fanservice.

I made the one response to him I felt I safely could, but it's not like spoiling the evidence for the various theories would make a difference. There really isn't much more evidence for the Lyanna/Rhaegar theory in the books than there is in the TV show, the only difference is the specific timelines given make the Robert/Lyanna baby implausible.
Near as I can tell, that article is all speculation based on what we know happened in the books. None of the citations at the bottom point to any actual episodes of the show. The closest thing I've found to a Tower of Joy reference is Joffrey reading the book of brothers in Season 4 where it passingly mentions that Arthur Dayne, Oswell Went, and Gerold Hightower all died near the Red Mountains of Dorne fighting Eddard Stark.
My friend also brought up a theory I never thought about that Bran will eventually warg one of Dany's dragons

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lyanna does appear, albeit only in flashbacks and visions. She is described as intelligent, tomboyish and willful, frequently compared to her niece Arya in terms of temperament and appearance.
Also, while Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon are said to have Tully features (hair color, eyes), Jon and Arya are said to be closer in appearance (which had made Sansa believe Arya was also a bastard like Jon, until her mother put Sansa's theory down). Arya is said to resemble Lyanna. In the same line of comparison with his "siblings"; while all their direwolves are described having dark fur, Jon's, Ghost is white - a color oft associated with Targaryen features.
tldr: Lyanna had dark hair like Arya and Jon

That theory has been flying around reddit for quite some time. They think Dany + Bran are each a head of the dragon, and not sure on the third. Tyrion or Jon sounds most plausible.

Jon, Bran and Daenarys are the most plausible.
Victarion/Euron are an option with their little horn, but unlikely because they aren't in the show.
Tyrion is an option but probably won't happen just because he's not the warrior type, though he is more so in the books.
There's really no build up for it, none of dragons have any real features that would make them ammenable to a specific character, and the only character to express a real interest in dragons is Daenarys and Tyrion.

I think for me it would come down to Bran being able to warg and control a dragon and Jon being a Targaryen having some skill bonus to his Dragon Riding skillpoints.

I've always thought warging was how the Targs really controlled the dragons; it is plain that they can't be domesticated normally, moreso in the books than the series but still pretty apparent in the series too. As they get older, they aren't like lapdogs. Then you have the magic horns there to give a means of control for when the ability to warg skipped a generation or something...or maybe relics of old Valyria from where dragons and people to control them were more commonplace.

They'd have to get Sean Bean back for that to happen, if they were smart they'd have already filmed it during season 1 and just saved it for later.
I thought the ability to ride the dragons was more through selective breeding and appropriate temperament of the dragon? Didn't they say that only a few dragons were ridden in battle and most rejected it.

Is that really that hard to do? I didn't hear of Sean Bean being an ornery person.

In the books when Ed was trying to console Arya about not being a ginger like Sansa he says her aunt also used to have brown hair and was considered one of the most beautiful women in Westeros.

Yep he's already admitted to being open to return for a flashback.In fact, he inadvertently spoiled R+L=J a few years ago:

I don't think Bean has any insider info on the overarching storyline. I'm sure that information is vaulted to only a very select few HBO execs.

It's come up in this very thread before. I'm mentioned it back after Bran had his montage vision that included seeing the shadow of a dragon passing over King's Landing from above.
