I know they showed young Ned and Lydia, and her telling him to take care of the babyAnd we were supposed to assume it was Jon(?) - but it wasn't revealed who the real father was. (Lydia only whispered that "Robert would be mad")How do we know that Dani's brother is the real father and Lydia is the real mother of Jon, from the show?

haha, sorry - you're right. typing too fast and doing too many things at once. I got the name wrong - Lyanna
and yes, I know whom she ran off with - but it still wasn't clear in the show that "he" was the father. -

doing multiple things at that moment - including typing too fast at that very moment and getting distracted on what I was trying to articulate. That was what I was referring to. Don't see how that was acting like a freaking ass beep frog sucker monkey.

Robert is who I thought it was at first a while back - after reading comments on the board and knowing that Jon was not actually Ned's son, and was his sister's son. I thought that it would make sense that he was really Robert's son, as ever since the pilot episode Robert talked about how he had loved Ned's sister. But then I noticed postings on this board saying that Dani was Jon's "aunt" - and that is why I figured that Dani's other brother was really Jon's father, and Ned's sister his mother. Especially since (if I recall correctly) it is mentioned during Bran's vision when he sees young Ned, that Dani's brother and Ned's sister were together.

Ah. Ok.
However, the Kingsguard wouldn't fight so hard to protect a child of Robert's nor would Lyanna be afraid of Robert finding out. Basically, Ser Arthur Dayne refusing Ned admittance to the tower would be only if something of Rhaegar was there to protect. -

One could argue that maybe Robert knocked her up before she was kidnapped
One would be completely wrong too. What are you guys missing? HBO CONFIRMED that Rhaegar is absolutely the father. And yes, ALL EVIDENCE points to this. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I get on this board. -

that Rhaegar is the one who fathered the baby isn't particularly clear in the show
That's true. I think in the recap there was mention of Lyanna running off with Rhaegar, but many viewers skip the recap. I had figured that was because there would be more about Lyanna and Rhaegar in season 7. That's not looking likely so I have no idea why D&D chose to be so obscure. -

Can I just say that any father who can so lovingly interact with his daughter and then sit there while she gets taken out to burn on his orders has to be f^cking insane?
Half of what they do aims at getting people to talk about the show. Clear cut reveals are not the optimal way to achieve this.
Why do you think Sansa kept information from Jon all season? To get people to talk about it.
Long may she reign

If you only watch the show and weren't active on forums this wasn't that clear AT ALL. They mentioned it a couple of times in passing. But Rhaegar isn't the big deal he is in books or what fans make him out to be on fansites.
Thank you. And that was exactly my situation. I haven't read the books yet (only just started), and I wasn't active on forums or fansites until only recently when I started coming to this board after I started watching the show a few weeks ago. -

I mean we are supposed to assume it is Jon because of the cut to his face after that scene. Also, we are supposed to assume it is Rhagaer because of well.books. It is impossible to completely defend from just the show alone.
