I don't know for sure, but it would seem to me that resurrecting a single life versus giving someone the power to win wars and rule is a lot greater.

But it's not like every act we've seen her do has some major, westeros-wide effect. And she seems to need some measure of kings blood for every act she performs.

Resurrecting someone is still a more obvious show of power than most things we've seen her do.

Too soon?

7 seasons. GRRM keeps talking about wanting them to do a prequel season so he can catch up, like a Dunk & Egg season or a season about the rebellion against the Targs. But lol they're never doing that.

honestly, the way they stay hyping up the dragon battles I think it might happen. It needs to, imo, for peeps to care more about Daenerys OVER the Starks.

wasnt she surprised that the the dude had the power to revive too? like he shouldnt have been able to

 

[daniels]

Cant wait for the army of death to attack kings landing can you imagine zombie joffrey and zombie tywin chasing people around ^^°

 

[Brojito]

I don't know why that pisses you off though. That's always been the key point of her entire storyline.

She was abused as a child, suddenly got a massive amount of power, has had no idea how to wield that power, but has deluded herself into thinking she's capable of wielding it.


In the events of the most recent episode, she's finally realized just how powerless she truly is. I think it's a great turn of the story. It would've been pretty ridiculous if she ended up succeeding despite having no experience in the matter or any reason for viewers to believe she'd be capable of doing so.

I get that, and I think that's a great direction for her story as well. It just seems like the show is still presenting her as being the best possible option and person who's going to fix everything while she clearly has no real idea what she's doing yet. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm just getting fed up with her, and her dramatic "I'm gonna break the wheel" bullshit. I wanted the camera to pan back to Tyrion just rolling his eyes at her.

lol9. This is my new favorite thing.

I'm team Walkers all the way. The only ending I'll accept is one where everyone is killed by zombies because they were too busy being assholes to each other to notice the impending doom.

the whole series is a nod to modern humans and climate change/global warming.

Summer's coming motherfuckers.

but see, it's still possible. she may have failed in a lot of areas bUT she succeeded in many things as well. A huge part of her character is that she dares to dream, and while that blows up in her face from time to time she still manages to get by.

Can't say you're wrong about that one. Even she was shook when she witnessed the resurrection. But giving birth to the smoke demon was pretty damn powerful, not to mention the demon baby knowing where and how to find Ren.

LOL fewer.

King Stannis Baratheon, rightful King of the seven kingdoms of Westeros and heir to the throne, on at least two occasions in the show has corrected the improper usage of "less" by people of lesser grammar than he.

Yeah, the show's been presenting her as the best option since it began. The only problem is that her story line has been an absolute bore. What exactly has she been doing since season 1? creating an army (although seemingly absent last episode??) Freeing slaves? Lot of good that did her. She has no natural ability to rule–no tactics, no plan.

It's infuriating.

She is a young woman with charisma and mysterious powers...she hasn't been borne to rule...That was supposedly her brother. She is learning as she goes along. She has already done pretty well...Defeating a number of city states and taking over a city that makes King's Landing look like Scunthorpe. I do think her stuff is better in the books though.

 

[UrbanRats]

Tywin, Cersei, Roose and Littlefinger are all characters who have done plenty of evil things and are far from being one dimensional.

I know, i'm not saying every evil character is one dimensional, i'm saying there are specifically some characters were they just go "fuck it" and double down on everything, from their actions in every single scene, to their mannerisms.
And it gets more comical than anything.

Honestly (and I think I'm in the minority), I don't think Dany is charismatic at all. Take away her dragons and she's pretty meh. Her character seems rather flat compared to a lot of the others. Even when she is being a good leader and showing compassion it just doesn't have much of a emotional punch for me.

I was literally rolling my eyes at the last scene of this episode.

It's cause Clarke pales in comparison to other actors on the show. She plays Dany in an overtly stoic mode eversince she got to Yun-kai to show that she's confident but it doesn't work well at all. '

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

The second one is brilliant.

LMAO at that "fewer" pic. That is absolutely hilarious. (not the kid burning though)

Before she got to Meereen she was one of my favourite characters. I hope she gets out of there soon.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

I wonder what this sacrifice will give them. I'm thinking a fiery path to get into Winterfell easily or something.

I do wonder what they would do with Sansa though, another sacrifice for the future ?

 

[Kickz]

Reeeaaaly late to this ep and man was that brutal...

Officially done with Stannis.

Still fuck Dany the disney princess, boring trash.

Its son of Eddard Stark- Jon Snow from now on.

 

[Ferrio]

Honestly any horrific event in this series I blame on Littlefinger.

Dany was a former slave herself. Her own brother and last remaining relative sold her to a brute war lord. She then proceeded to gain the respect of the brute war lords army and followers and becomes a true queen to them. She then acquired her own army and freed the slaves of half the world. Her brother sold her to khal drogo against her will but from that point forward she has gotten to her incredibly prominent position on her own leadership. And she three dragons. What's not to like? She makes Stannis look like a pawn.

I can trade some mediocre acting for the badass character that is daenerys targaryen. You can tell she's definitely trying to step her game up around Peter Dinklage though.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Dany definitely overpaid for those Unsullied. They're terrible fighters.

 

[Pandaman]

really? because i was pretty sure all but 2-3 dozen of them rode off and left her behind.

She got them for free.

when she was married to khal drogo.

That "rule" is a grammar myth pushed by pedantic idiots, there was nothing improper about the usage in both cases.
I'm fine with him burning his daughter, it was like a bit cold or something, seems reasonable, and really, her scenes were mostly pointless, but fuck having a grammar Nazi rule the country.

Lol, even Ramsay has standards.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Lol, that's really pushing the definition of slave. Sure sure sure, the definition of slave can be stretched a lot, and you could even be philosophical and argue that every person on earth is a slave. But you can't possibly compare the position Dany was in to that of a slave. She was forced to marry a guy, and thus she was made queen, got body guards, and got all that she needed while not having to do any work, apart from pleasing her husband.

Please. If Dany was a slave, then just about every damn character in this show is a slave.

I remember Bran Stark having a vision about the shadow of a dragon flying above King's Landing. Last season, he encountered this elder character trapped within the roots of a tree and told him something like: "you'll never walk again, but you will fly". My prediction is that Bran will shift inside Daenerys's Dragon and will play a fundamental role somewhere in the saga. What you guys think?

Yeah, that scene was what makes me think he will control the dragons with his mind control.

Also, it's another good reason why there has hardly been any dragons in this season, the same season that bran is hardly in it. Once he learns to control them raging himself, all the wars will be over relatively quickly.

 

[Ray Wonder]

I thought I heard somewhere that Bran's story is over in the books.

EDIT: Not over as in he's dead or anything, just that the show is at the point in Bran's story line in the books.
