Anyway, again, you did a great job summarising the events of the episode and highlighting all the key elements while making connections to GoT and the book material. I'll definitely have to swing back when you talk about HotD next time.

    Season 6 fully explains GRRM story but GRRM told D&D write a different ending & not spoil the books. GRRM is repeating Aegon( Jon) conquest (salvation) of Westeros with Rhaenys (Daeny) and Visenya (Tyrion). The Azor Ahai is the Three Heads of the Dragon. Jon is simply the Last Hero ... of three. It was book lore that dragon riders have Valyrian blood and are mostly Targaryen. Dragons can smell what blood you have. Daeny's dragons know the smell of her blood .. and .. anybody related to her. Tyrion visiting the Dragons was the book version of Quentyn martels fatal mistake. Tyrion was not killed ... because he's Daeny's bastard brother. GRRM approved the Season 2 House of Undying visions ... which clearly reveal Daeny will take the throne in winter ... and ... will die North of the Wall (still standing). Daeny is the first Hero of three ... who takes the throne & dies. Again. GRRM told D&D to write a different ending and to not spoil the books. This is why in Season 7 ... nothing made sense ... and Daeny was never going to take the throne in winter and then die north of the wall. D&D knew Daeny is Rhaenys and she supposedly died falling from her dragon hit by a scorpion arrow. Drogon in season 7 was hit by a scorpion arrow and Daeny almost died. This is confirmation GRRM is repeating Aegons conquest of Westeros ... with Jon, Daeny & Tyrion. And Jon marries Sansa to remain King of the North.

    I hope they show the dragon fight between Prince Aegon the 2nd and Prince Daemon as described in Fire and Blood Both Dragons have a death battle with Daemons dealing a killer bite to Aemons Dragons neck and Aemons Dragon tears open Daemons dragons belly as a killing blow while both Dragons are clung together falling from the sky Daemon leaps over to Aemons Dragon driving his sword through Aemons patched eye and through his neck. Both Aemon and Daemon die as both Dragons hit the water bentheath hard

    @thomasreilly48505 жыл бұрын

    consider another angle. Tyrion is acting under Varys' name, and sending ravens to the enemy. But he's not doing it to side with cersei, he's doing it because he wants to destabilize both cersei and dany's army. Why? Because Tyrion is sick of idiots and neurotics sitting on the throne. He wants to sit on the throne and do the job properly, because he'd be the best at it. So Since season 7 episode 2, since dany turned on varys, he's been sending these ravens out. it's why dany keeps failing whenever she takes his advice. He's been rigging this game for 2 seasons. Dany getting ambushed and her dragon getting killed? Tyrion.A dragon can't be outwitted. It has to go. He told euron the perfect conditions for it. Promising bronn highgarden? He would, because he's confident he'll get the throne. A lannister always pays his debts. Really go back and watch. You'll notice loads of stuff. Tyrion is the great mind he's always been. He's just been playing the audience as well as the characters in the show. ONly one person can find him out now - Bran. I think it's gonna be a very interesting couple of episodes.

If that is the case I'll be super pissed because he's been built up as the mind of the show only to be a fool for his family. That would be really shitty. I guess we'll have to see in the later episodes if he has something up his sleeve.

    I'm not saying my theory is definitive, virtually anything could happen in the final season and two books to come. This is just an expression of one of many possibilities, not definitive fact. I'd love if this was subverted further as you suggest. As for Dany hate, she's one of, if not my favorite, characters in the entire series. I've made multiple videos discussing her and her narrative in-depth, something I would never take the time to do if I didn't care about her.

Other theories propose that Dany is the daughter of Ned and Ashara (platinum blonde hair color per Maekar Targaryen I), so the HWTRD is at Starfall: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4qkysaGp8fgh7g.html …or that Arthur Dayne was her father, that she was kidnapped or purhased as a slave.
