I've said it since I first watched the shows and then read the books, Dany and Jon are headed for a unions. Their parallels in both the books and the show have just continue to grow and this episode gave us some serious foreshadowing of a political marriage. As we see Dany letting go of Daario, he pointedly asked her who she would marry, she said she didn't know but needed to stay available for a political alliance. Then we cut to Jon being named King in the North, I.e. A perfect political alliance.
Now, I know some of you might get caught up in the coodies but let's remember that the Targaryen's don't care about marrying families and the Starks have more than a couple of Uncle and Niece marriages in their past. A marriage between and aunt and a nephew wouldn't be out of the question even in our medieval times. My take is that the political marriage takes place before they find out. Once they find out there will be conflict but I think that will be resolved. However, I'm not sure if either will survive the series, we'll have to see about that.

Yep, this pretty much confirmed D+J for me. Who else on the show could she possibly marry?

Robin might be the second best choice and Dany don't got time for that kind of nonsense. She could just as easily win his favorite by giving him a ride atop her dragon like Visenya did with the little king of the Vale.

I think Jon will be the harder one to persuade into a political marriage than Dany, actually. Dany is very used to the idea, and she intends to be the more powerful member of the Union. Jon has never contemplated being part of a political marriage - his whole life he grew up planning to join the Night's Watch. And then the tragedy with Ygritte, and Sansa's awful marriages, and eventually he'll learn his sad origin story, and his general standoffishness - Jon is going to be leery of marriage and super leery of Dany. Dany is going to have to pursue him and all of the Hands will have to give him pep talks.

In the books Jon wishes he had a dragon or 3 at the Wall to help fight the WW. Combined with her huge army and beautiful looks I don't think Jon will need that much convincing. And ofc Tyrion will be the common link between them.

Combined with her huge army and beautiful looks I don't think Jon will need that much convincing. And ofc Tyrion will be the common link between them. Jon might certainly be leery of marriage but he's also practical. He knows the danger to them all and a marriage to a woman with dragons and a giant army would be invaluable in the fight against the Others. I think he would understand the necessity of it. It wouldn't be romantic, at least not at first. But I think that they could get along well as they have a lot on common. Tyrion, as Nic mentioned, will be the one to broker the deal. He'll see the gains such a marriage would make to both parties. And after all the wars they would want to have a peaceful resolution. This also might happen after Euron steels one of her dragons (if it happens on the show) I think that battle with Euron will really shake Dany, on a side note.

Ugh, I hate Jonerys If it does indeed happen, I hope at least one of them dies before it's over. Jon and Dany ruling Westeros together in the end, with Tyrion as their Hand, is the ending I fear the most

And we all know what Ramsay said about happy endings. GRRM also said the ending will be bittersweet.
