Last Targaryen, huh?

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen finally met during Game of Thrones episode 3 and we still have a bunch of questions about their lineage.

During a big, posturing speech, in which Dany presents herself to the King of the North, she lays out her whole claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros and demands that he kneel before her. At the end of her speech, she lays out one fact that she might believe, but fans are less than convinced.

"I am the last Targaryen," she proclaimed.

Wellllllll.............. Here's the thing.

As it was (finally) revealed last season, Jon Snow appears to be more than a normal bastard, rather, he's the son of Ned Stark's sister Lyanna and her lover/captor Rhaegar Targaryen.

Unless, the show is blatantly deceiving us, Jon Snow joins Dany as one of the two last Targaryens in the known world.

So, when Dany made her stark declaration, Twitter pulled its collar to let some steam out.
