Jon Snow's mom!   Or Teague's mom.   Somebody's mom.

Something I noticed with last episode: they appear to have dropped (at least for the moment) Jorah Mormont's initial mission (which was, spy on Daenerys for King's landing). They mentioned it in season 1, but it should have been revealed to Daenerys before Yunkai's taking.

I wonder whether they're just keeping it for later or not. Jorah's supposed to be going his own way and capture Tyrion.

Pff! It's made very clear that his parents are Ned Stark and some broad he met during the war who he just doesn't want to talk about.

I think you might be onto something there, that would make for a more interesting story to be sure. And what a twist!

Seriously though, one thing that always bums me out is thinking about Ned never being able to tell Jon the truth.

Definitely agree with Trey, I think the show all but confirmed Lyanna Stark was the mother when Ned told Jon that he was 'my blood'.

Seriously, check out the scene in episode 2 of the first season, where Ned and Robert have their little picnic chat under the trees.   Robert asks Ned flat-out about Snow's mother and Ned refuses to talk about it.   In the same conversation, Robert also talks about how determined he is to eliminate all traces of the Targaryaen bloodline. 

Watch that scene with the mindset  of "Ned doesn't want Robert to know Snow is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna" and everything Ned says and does makes perfect sense. 

well, if ALL of this is a red herring and he goes somewhere else with it, then good for him

Jorah getting banished would be a great way to end Dany's storyline for this season. And it would also be a HUGE twist for non-book-readers, who have been made to heavily sympathize with Jorah over his unrequited love for Dany in recent episodes. Book-Jorah always came across as kind of a creep to me. A well-meaning creep, but a creep nonetheless, and I wasn't too broken up to see him go. Loved his stuff with Tyrion in ADWD though.
