Did This Game Of Thrones Episode Predict The Stark Deaths?

Was Robert Baratheon cursed?

Game Of Thrones theories have been running amuck over the course of the show – predicting everything from deaths, to secret relationships, to who will eventually sit on the Iron Throne. But this time, the Mecca of Game of Thrones theories, otherwise known as Reddit, has made a scarily accurate observation.

Way back in Episode 1 of Season 1 of Game of Thrones, you may remember the King, Robert Baratheon, meeting the Stark family. However, he only touches a couple of the Starks. The theory goes that the ones he touched are the ones who have ended up meeting their bitter end.

Here’s how it went down:

It’s being called the ‘Curse of Robert Baratheon’, and it does beg the question – is Cersei’s death coming next?

In this scene, he also bent down and asked Arya “Your name is?” – which if you’re REALLY looking into it could be a prediction that she would end up training with the Faceless Men. Game of Thrones has been known to drop hints throughout the series, so it’s not totally farfetched.

Scary stuff.
