It’s a possibility that didn’t exist before Sunday night.

I think it was originally the plan for Bran to just reveal all that, but the problem is that Bran is now like the final picture in those expanding brain memes and he's just wayyyy beyond such trivialities as who his brother's parents are, so the showrunners were like "hmmm on second thought, let's just have someone

Yeah but Krang is only like 8 inches tall to begin with.

I think the major objection was that she executed prisoners who had surrendered, but yeah, using a dragon for the execution is a bit much when your sword-wielding soldiers are standing all around.

Although the show does play fast and loose with fealty, sometimes.

Hard to believe Randall Tarly would show up to King's Landing after Cersei blew up the Great Sept of Baelor, killing the Queen Consort, who happens to be the granddaughter of Olenna Tyrell (who I suppose is the head of House Tyrell in the show), his liege lord (liege lady?), most powerful woman in the Reach and
