Clearly, Daenerys was adrift in "A Dance With Dragons," making bad decision after bad decision. At some point she needed to find herself again, and maybe this is how it was supposed to happen. I would have thought the dragons would play a bigger role. But maybe they will before the season ends. I've read where a decade or so ago, Martin said that Daenerys was not immune to fire. Either he changed his mind, or the writers changed it for him.Joseph Finleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348233611003693635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682438184679769936.post-50167730596126942016-05-18T14:25:28.640-04:002016-05-18T14:25:28.640-04:00After watching the latest episode I am no longer c...After watching the latest episode I am no longer confused about where Daenerys' storyline is heading.

As for Tyrion, I think that was another course correction back to the books. Remember, in "A Dance With Dragons," those two dragons get accidentally released by that Dornish prince who gets barbecued while trying to impress Daenerys. <br /><br />She does get captured by that Kahl at the end of "A Dance With Dragons," so I suppose her plot line could be unfolding according to Martin's plans.

And is Tyrion the new "Father of Dragons?"Billnoreply@blogger.com
