You can’t go to a convention about Game of Thrones and NOT sit down for a panel about Daenarys Targaryen and Jon Snow. But if you missed it at Con of Thrones, it’s ok because that’s what I’m here for! Your geek gal has got you.
The “Daenarys and Jon: Ice and Fire United” panel discussed Daenarys and Jon’s union and all the questions this union opens up. SO MANY IMPLICATIONS TO EXPLORE. Is it a lasting love between these two dragons? Can they share the Iron Throne? Will they destroy each other when the truth finally comes out? The four panelists were Kim Renfro from INSIDER, Luka Nieto from Watchers On The Wall, Michelle Jaworski from The Daily Dot, and Sean Pink from the History of Westeros.
Kim knows how to start a panel!
"We're here to talk about the boat sex seen around the world," @kimrrenfro kicks off the #DaenarysAndJon panel. 🤣 #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones

"I didn't see it coming!" @michejaw says about Daenarys' arrival to Westeros and her being with Jon Snow. #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones

@kimrrenfro says she knew Daenarys and Jon being together was coming (no thanks to the ppl who leaked S7 stuff) but she didn't think there was much chemistry. #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones

Even when Jon finds out that he is half Targaryen (*still cringing at the boat sex*), will he actually want to be on the Iron Throne? Luka doesn’t think so.
@WatchersOTWall's Luka Nieto points out that Jon didn't even want to be King of the North so he probably won't want to be on the throne. #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones

And when Daenarys and Jon find out about their true relationship and start fighting about the Iron Throne, does it all even matter? Nope. The White Walkers are coming. The Night King is coming. He’s got Viserion as an ice dragon now too! Hell has frozen over and it’s coming down south and it ain’t gonna be pretty.
@WesterosHistory's Sean Pink says "You can imagine Bran having the bigger picture… Fighting the Night King is more important." #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones

Moving on to another implication: What if Daenarys gets pregnant in season 8?
"We need to talk about the fact that Daenarys might get pregnant," @kimrrenfro points out. #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones
— Geek Gals @ #ConOfThrones (@geekgalsco) May 25, 2018
We know that she was told that she could not have children anymore, so she always considered her three dragons as her children. But what if she could get pregnant again? The writers mentioned it a few times in dialogue in season 7.
Daenarys being pregnant is a hot topic b/c in S1, she was told she couldn't get pregnant again & in S7, she mentions it so why would the writers include that if that wasnt gonna happen in S8? #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones

@WatchersOTWall's Luka Nieto argues that if Daenarys had a baby, that baby would represent the next generation. #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones #DaenarysAndJon

@michejaw says if Daenarys died giving birth, it'd be so sad #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones #DaenarysAndJon
— Geek Gals @ #ConOfThrones (@geekgalsco) May 25, 2018
We agree. Dany dying giving birth would be AWFUL. We’d need tissue after tissue to blow our nose and wipe the tears away. But let’s hope that doesn’t happen…
Moving on to predictions for season 8!
S8 predictions for #DaenarysAndJon: they could both die, but they can't both live. #GameOfThrones #ConOfThrones
— Geek Gals @ #ConOfThrones (@geekgalsco) May 25, 2018
What would be the whole point of Jon dying again, if he was the one to die? And if Daenarys was the one to die, how would she go? Would she end up like the Mad King? One of the things we all love about Game of Thrones is how unpredictable it can be and how incredible the twists and turns are.
@michejaw says Daenarys and Jon's feelings for each other could get messy! And we wouldn't have time since S8 will be short. #GameOfThrones #ConofThrones #DaenarysAndJon pic.twitter.com/cM0RkD0wwP

There are only six episodes in season 8. Six episodes for the entire show left. We’re super pumped for next year!
