[EVERYTHING] I'm not too crazy about the idea of Tyrion being a Targaryen.

The idea of Aerys raping Joanna to spite Tywin, therefore making Tyrion potentially his son is I hope not true. Part of the reason Tyrion and Tywin are my two favorite characters in the show is that they both are so much like one another. Ever since I've started watching the show, I've loved dissecting their relationship and all the many ways they are like one another. They share an affinity and knack for politics, hoebags, and alliance-building. Also, the fact Tyrion is a Lannister has contributed SO much to his story that changing it near the end of show dismantles his struggles and washes away all the blood he has spilled for the family. No matter what Tywin wishes or wants, Tyrion is his son, and he is more like him than he'd like to admit.

Its a neat idea that is kind of fun to think about, but I don't want it to be more than that. The father/son dynamic is crucial to their characters and I don't want that to be taken from them.
