Whatever the outcome, Whining Is Coming.

Unpopular opinion but he was such a dork.  They killed him off because his character was useless

You're the envy of tweens that are now probably 20 ish all over the world.

You’d need to rewrite the entire series. The #1 problem with the last three seasons is that the results of seasons 1-5 left the plot an absurd, sprawling mess, with no clear route to a conclusion.

If you boiled the fan theories down to their bare essence you’d get an endless recursion of Bran warging into Arya who’s wearing Bran’s face.

So...fan theories on the internet are dumb?

I wrote my fanfic version, but only when it was complete did I realize that it was three novels about a mousy girl in a bad relationship with a bondage billionaire, and millions of aunts were masturbating to it.

I genuinely think all that you needed was 1 more episode that was primarily Dany at Dragonstone and Cersei refusing to see how much of a threat she was. That would build in all of the logic behind their choices. Just seeing Dany as she refuses to sleep and eat, as Varys seemingly tries to poison her, as her paranoia,…

Aegon the Conqueror wasn’t a villain. He established the Targaryen dynasty and unified the throne, and is widely regarded as a good guy;

The Freys violated guest rights, Tywin made very sure to keep the family name above board in that regard. 

Again, the issue is that you think my comments are an attack on everyone with your viewpoint, when I’m simply disagreeing with one specific person. I’m not putting words in your mouth.

Ned Stark executing someone is different than a conqueror and war criminal (in universe! violating guest rights is the closest think there is war crime).

I agree the execution wasn’t great, I’m specifically commenting on this column:

When, exactly, was she pursuing goodness rather than pursuing revenge and her birthright? :P

“Daenerys had no strategic reason whatsoever to massacre a town full of innocents after they surrendered...”

She definitely had a strategic reason to massacre a town full of people. They didn’t surrender when she rode up to her gates and demanded it. They chose to resist, raise armies, and fight her.

The purpose is so…

I’m not painting “fans” in any light, nor do I give a shit about any fans that aren’t the columnist I’m specifically addressing. Please chill out about this weird fan tribalism.

If she cared about the people of slavers bay she wouldn’t have left a small mercenary army and a huge power vacuum behind when she sailed west. She has always had a single goal that she’s pursued with complete, insane focus.

You’re right, there hasn’t been a steady and naturalist change in her personality over the course of the show because this is always the person she’s been. People were just gullible enough to buy her hype when she was trying to sell herself as a hero so the people would love her.

I don’t think there’s been a steady change, I think it’s been consistent as part of her character. What’s changed is her level of power and the advisors that she’s had around her. I also agree there could have been some more work done on this front, but there’s been plenty of predictions that this would happen going…
