What was the crucial question that George R. R. Martin asked David Benioff and D.B. Weiss before they could make Game of Thrones?
The Big Picture The debates surrounding Jon Snow’s parentage have raged long before George R. R. Martin’s "A Song Of Ice And Fire" was adapted into a show. While the books weren’t quite as popular as the show, they enjoyed a small but loyal niche of fans who dissected, analyzed and discussed every little detail of the story in great length. And one of the most debated and contested conversations orbited around Jon Snow’s parentage. After all, Jon Snow was a curious case.
There was a long journey ahead of them, but before they could do any of it, they had to sit down with Martin for a meeting that spanned 5 long hours. And in that duration, Martin really dug into Weiss’ and Benioff's knowledge and passion for "The Song Of Ice and Fire." Specifically, though, there was one question he wanted the two to answer, and if they got it right Martin would happily agree to make the show.
The same theory was put forth by many different individuals, and gradually it became so popular and alive that when the show finally revealed Jon’s parentage, the fandom was already prepared. In the show, it's Bran who first learns of Jon Snow's heritage using his greenseer abilities, traveling back to the past and witnessing the battle at Tower of Joy where Lyanna gave birth to Jon.
