Use Fraps or press F12 to take pictures. Then upload it to Imageshack and convert the pics to a forumpost size and add picture from link. Link to the imageshack pciture that is converted and voila.

Btw, considered that Rhaegar might have been attempted to make the three head of the dragons? Or maybe he thought he was the Prince that was Promised or AA reborn. I still wonder what he read in the scrolls, but 90% sure that it is about the prince that was promised.

Thanks, and where abouts will the screenshots be found once taken?. and on the note of AA, I admittingly have only read the first book, and watched the tv seasons, however my curiousity has gotten the better of me and I have read some info on the wiki, so off what I know i'd say he read in the scrolls that he is either AA, or someone of HIS line will be, i personally believe this is why he kidnapped lyana stark and impregnated her.

Also, for me it is F11, not F12

I'm pretty sure whatever he read convinced him that he was the PTWP/AA (same prophesy, different religions, really), which is why he suddenly decided to go from bookworm to badass knight. Later I think he figured it would be a child of his. My personal (entirely unproven) theory is that he had a "dragon dream" during the big tournament that led him to believe the Prince That Was Promised would be a child he had with Lyanna Stark. That spurred his uncharacteristically rash decision to "kidnap" (I believe it was consensual, there are indications Lyanna didn't think highly of Robert Baratheon) her and hide her in the Tower of Joy. I also believe it's very clear that Jon Snow is that child. He is thus a Prince whos bloodline is both Fire (Targaryeans) and Ice (Starks). His presence on the Wall just as the Others start to move against it is too neat to be an accident.

Regardless, go team Targ!

I also think that Jon Snow is the result of their union, and I have to admit that Rhaegar is by far one of those characters I wish we could have learned more about. Everytime Selmy mentions him I attempt to remember every word. However I am still wondering if Aegon is a Blackfyre or a Targ. I personally think he might be a Blackfyre due to all the symbols in the books, however it would also made sense if he was just a street kid or maybe even a Targ.

The Targs are cool, however nothing compared to the Boltons. Yet I have to admit that I have some love for the Targ, due to their relations with House Martell.

I thought that Jon had died in the last book? I haven't read them, but my wife reads them and said he was dead.

He is stabbed, but the book ends without saying whether or not he lives.

Looking forward to reading the AAR.

That is what we are all arguing about at the moment, however it seems like most ppl who follow the ASOIAF series on froum as well think he is alive. There are several posibilities:

1) Jon is wounded and not dead. But why and how? Who would save him? If the people who stabbed him want him dead won't they finish the job? He lies amongst enemies severely wounded so who would save him and in time to be able to recover?

2) Jon is dead and is resurrected by Melisandre. IMO the worst case senario. We see how are the people who came back to life (Dondarion, Catelyn).

3) Jon wargs in Ghost. That's fine and probable. But then what? He lives for ever as a wolf? He wargs another body? Does he even know haw to do that? And even if he does it's unlikely for him to succeed where even Varamyr failed, a much more experienced skinchanger. Also I can't imagine Jon "wearing" a different face. If I recall Melisandre had a profety going something along the lines: "From man to wolf from wolf to man." or some mumbo jumbo like that.

4) Jon dies. This I find interesting. It would be in consistence to Martin's writing and as I've said before ASOIAF isn't a Cinderella story, I would like to see Jon dieing without learning the truth about his parentage.

"Death and Guest Right don't mean what they used to." Jon was murdered (I'm fairly sure the conspirators would make sure he was really dead) but Melisandre is at the Wall, and had already taken an acute interst in Jon. I believe she's coming to realize that he, not Stannis, is the messianic figure she was looking for. The circumstances of his murder arguably match some of the omens of AA's rebirth (the bleeding star, salt and smoke, etc).

I expect that she will spirit away his body North of the Wall and bring him back. Then they will eventually meet up with Bran and Co as well as "Coldahnds (pretty clearly an undead Benjen Stark) and try to fight the others. Jon will rally the wildlings and become King Beyond the Wall. I also suspect Bran will have to sacrafice his humanity and merge with the weirwoods, as the Wall needs a Greenseer to maintain its magic.

IMO, Jon was certainly killed, in the sense that there is no chance that he was merely wounded. Whether he wargs, is resurrected, how he is resurrected, or whether he stays dead remains to be seen.
