I think she is going to turn out to be Jon Snow's aunt. Ned Stark's sister gave birth to a son by Dany's older brother. (Jon Snow)
Don't like daenerys right now. Like IDC about what she's doing to the lannister army but she keeps dogging my boy snow. Like for goodness sake, he shows her actual proof that white walkers exist and what does she say? I'll serve you, if you bend the knee. I hate that. Then had the nerve to tell him to think about his people and not worry about pride. um excuse me I think you're the one who is all about pride with your egotistical self..
Also found it kind of sad for sansa how she's reunited with her younger siblings but they're nothing like she remembers them. Almost different people altogether. Also I really wanted Jon to beat Theon ass for what he did

Well, having read the books way before their popularity and the show were out I didn't like her arc so much as I do now. Like you knew something was going to come of it all but hadn't developed in the books, even yet. It's kind of like having a baby. At first it just lays there and looks cute, but then it develops and gains personality and you really become attached to it as it's own person rather than biological obligation. Scary and badass are working for her.
PS For one of the other posts, Dany burned the grain instead of the whole army because she was pissed that Cersei emptied the grain stores from Casterly leaving Grey Worm and his troops without food to hold it or travel well. Cersei starved her army and she was returning the favor.
Idk...but wouldnt it be much smarter to burn the soldiers and capture the grain for your soldiers? I mean, either way---Cersei doesnt get it---but Dany's forces actually benefit from it if you capture it rather than roast it.
lol...on a kinda funny note, my wife informed me she's going to be really upset if the dragons get killed. She said this at the end of the episode in a tone of voice that made it sound like she had just seen a drowned kitten.

She has no need for the grain. It's Casterly Rock that was barren. Assuming the gold made it into the city, that means they are right close to King's Landing. Loading and taking the grain that close to the city would leave them exposed. She couldn't get it to Grey Worm in a timely manner for it to be useful or she would have just taken her own stores to him. I'd say decimating an army and burning food for the city and survivors to use sent a pretty strong message. I would have razed the whole battlefield with all three dragons and left a wasteland in front of King's Landing while still not terrorizing the citizens within the citadel, but whatever.
Dany was pissed in the scene she was discussing about Casterly Rock not having food for her troops there. I don't recall her saying food was a shortage anywhere else.

RE: OT: Game of Thrones Discussion - Potential Spoilers Warning
Woahaha
All that rowing paid off! There were so many fan-service moments in this episodes that felt a bit substantial regardless. A long-lost stag brings the hammer down. A mercenary plays both sides for the cash. An assassin in a cold place plots and is plotted against. Lions vow to defend the den and the new brood against intruders. A dragon recognizes one of its own. A fiery bastard ventures into the jaws of death with a collection of miscreants. A fat man reaffirms that he is a brave man.
Two episodes to go, hopefully longer ones.

71 minutes and 81 minutes if the preseason run times are correct. And so far they have been.

It was also interesting to find out that Jon Snow isn't actually a bastard and is the true heir of the 7 Kingdoms. Dany will probably be pissed when she finds out.

It's called A Song of Ice and Fire. Jon is the song. He will probably kill Dany like Azor Ahai killed Nissa Nissa (in order to forge Lightbringer). But the point of Dany's character is to show that well meaning tyrants are just that too. There is no happiness in a feudal system. Men (& women) are not meant to be monarchs and rule over each other. Dany is in the show and books to illustrate that all monarchs are tyrants because absolute power corrupts absolutely. She is going to get worse and worse as the show continues: "bend the knee".
And the only part of the episode I really enjoyed was the sparring between Arya and Brienne. But at the same time, it was just delaying her killing Littlefinger. That delay was annoying me. She's gonna do it. She gave him the "you're next" stare at the end of her session.
If any of you think that was a hard hitting ending because Jaime might be dead... FFS people. He's fine. Dany's gonna take him hostage and go to kill him, but Tyrion will beg for his and Bronn's lives.
Maybe that means my last theory was wrong and Cersei is gonna trade Ellaria for Jaime. I guess that makes sense. Cersei really shouldn't do that deal though. By my count, she has almost no army left. Whatever she has left in Kings Landing. And if that's the case, her best play is too hold up in the red keep and make Dany attack her the way Dany doesn't want to (even while Jon is whining that time is running out). Boy, that'll be fun.... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Anything else you'd like to complain about?
I get it... You're obviously a book reader. Speaking as only a television viewer this episode was awesome!! Once the tv series is over, I do intend on reading the books (If/when Martin finishes them). I'm sure the books will be more detailed and thought provoking than anything made for tv.
He does the same thing in the Walking Dead thread. I think his dream is one day to be like these....

Dany could use her dragons to airlift supplies to Casterly Rock and then use some of the Unsullied to launch a second front or at least harass and raid.

Will Jon's Targaryen blood make him fire proof? I do not recall an episode where burning himself rules out the notion.

He burned himself on a lantern in season one and he gets thrown through a blacksmith's firepit during Tormund's assault on Castle Black, but those are the only instances of Jon interacting closely with fire that I can remember. Initially I thought that Dany being fireproof when she hatched the dragons was due to the blood magic involved, but the showrunners wrote it in when she torched the khals.

Thanks. I remember a scene before the funeral pyre when Dany should have been burned like her servant but she was unharmed.

There was also a scene in season 1 where she takes a bath in scalding hot water and is not burned. The handmaiden warns her it's too hot and she gets in anyways.
