RE: Folks in the know about R+L=J. What about Benjen? All the stuff about how close Lyanna and Benjen were could just be world building, but maybe there is a point to it? That scene in the second episode of the first season where Jon and Ned last see each other and he asks about his mother and there is an immediate shot of Benjen looking at them always seem like it was significant, but unsure of what although I easily could be reading too much into it.
