She didn’t have as much fear as she wanted. She was going to make an object lesson of King’s Landing; she out-and-out told Tyrion this before the battle. Her core bias was always to utterly destroy the city, to REALLY drive it home to Westeros that she means business, and you do what she says or you die horribly. It’s…

I feel like what is missing in the analysis of Dany are her past actions. From Season 1, she has shown herself to be very, very cruel (not surprisingly, given how she was raised). She raises not a finger when her brother is drowned in boiling gold. She burns the witch alive. She crucifies the slavers. She…

It screams trying to be a Royal Enfield. Because it’s in India. Where Royal Enfield is what the cool bikers drove.

What makes you say that? Are they targeting ageing wanna-be-outlaw dentists? Isn’t Harley still using some sort of steam engine or something? Article states these are DOHC >and< (gasp!) fuel-injected.
