emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Do we have any actual confirmation from GRRM on this theory? I mean, it's more than likely that it is, but given how liberal Dumb & Dumber have been with the source material it wouldn't surprise me if it was just another means to pander to the fans.

Until I read it in the books, it's a case of 'that's nice dear'.

Which I'm honestly fine with

That was stannis remains the one true king forever and ever. Impervious to bad fanfiction.

A couple weeks ago a fan asked him who Jon Snow's parents are and he said they were Justin Beiber and Kim Kardashian. I don't think he's addressed anything that's happened this season yet but eventually someone's going to bring it up at some kind of Q&A. I guess we'll just have to wait until then to see what his answer is.

In the books there's a character named Coldhands that a lot of fans think is Benjen Stark, but GRRM told his editor that it's not. Yet in the show Coldhands is Benjen.

George hasn't been involved in the series the past two seasons and there's been a lot of significant changes since then. I could easily see them changing this.

This is precisely why I have a slight inkling of doubt about this. That and how they've treated the Dorne plotline makes me sceptical of how accurate the show is at this point.

combining relatively minor characters for the tv show isn't comparable to changing the protagonists parents (one of the biggest mysteries of the series)

Like jorah and Jon connington being basically combined into one. It's just so they don't have to hire as many actors and so the viewers don't get confused by so many characters

One part of me thought it would be R + L = J, another part thought it would be N + L = J.

It's hard to rationalize what they would and wouldn't be willing to change from the books at this point. One would think they wouldn't omit important POV characters like Arianne and Victarion in an adaptation and yet they did.
