She is so self entitled it makes me want to just stop altogether, it's irritating that RR protects her with weak plot and thin reasoning. <br /><br /><br />I liked how Joffrey died, he was a turd and he got what was coming to him. The same goes for Ed, he was great but he made mistakes while playing the game and he suffered for it. <br /><br /><br />I honestly feel like she is untouchable, everyone is tiptoeing around her like shits gold (Hah Tywin) But come on, all she really has is the (Temporary) support of troops, who I'm sure will pick up and leave when it gets to the point that they either aren't getting paid or start to starve, and I don't think ol Blue beard will stick around, no matter how much he likes to bang her. The people of the cities are having to deal with a ton of soldiers who need fed and such, along with 3 dragons. I can't see them being happy for very long.<br /><br />One thing that does have me curious is what will happen if she gets the ships and takes the horde to Westeros, I imagine a ton of them would die on the way, due to weather/illness and lack of food (Feeding the dragons) And what happens when she gets there, she and the horde who have no experience fighting in this land (Forests/mountains/rain and snow) are going to have to deal with winter which will bring more illness, I'm no expert so don't quote me, but wouldn't they all get seriously ill, having never experienced a winter like that before?<br /><br />Also she would have to go against the Goldens, who I'm going to imagine are better trained and better equipped, but again I don't know for sure.Sasha Shapirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178029015600974509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-65995414311098701622014-11-08T18:14:27.970-08:002014-11-08T18:14:27.970-08:00Interesting opinion of yours, Sasha Shapiro. I hav...Interesting opinion of yours, Sasha Shapiro. I have watched seasons 1-3 completely (not season 4, living in Germany) and finished book 1 recently. Dany Targaryen with her silver hair and her 'silver' (like a barbie doll in teenage horse land) was the sole reason some time ago that I ignored the whole HBO thing - not wanting to buy into trashy fantasy soap (I mean, the 'wedding dancers' at Drogo & Dany marriage were enough for me to change the channel ... those cliche steppe barbarians). BUT ... I watched SOME snippets of the other characters' fates and stories ... and was hooked, could not ignore the books either - and must dig into this GRRM cosmos.<br /><br />Well, my growing feeling of UNEASYNESS with the Dany character, I got by watching the show, is confirmed by the text. I think, there are enough hints on the screen and more in the books, that there is some serious DEFECT, some UNHOLYNESS at work in the Targaryen bloodline (of which Maester Aemon Targaryen has distanced himself in the 'exile' of another oath). There is a trace of despotism, destruction and death throughout the Targaryen Empire (in the past before the Cataclysm of Valyria - and after by the conquest of Westeros), there seem to be illusion, uncontrollable rage, will to power, CRUELTY and MADNESS part of the family heritage ... and it shows, first in the Beggar King's fate and in a rapidly escalating way in the mind and life of his little sister. In that regard I find the Dany character quite fascinating, and I smell Martin's strategy, that a deteriorating dragon queen will be the most rewarding and shocking desillusion of all her fans & followers. And if Martin says, that his fable will end 'bittersweet', then it will end very bitter for Dany, I feel in my guts. If she ends on the Iron Throne, then molten into the metal - by dragon fire. Something like that. And Westeros will be a smoking ruin by then - with very few survivors, I agree with you, Shapiro.<br /><br />'You are mad.' [Mirri Maz Duur] I take this hint at the end of book 1 seriously.Sasha Shapirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178029015600974509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-52277690995239380232014-04-29T10:37:15.349-07:002014-04-29T10:37:15.349-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sasha Shapirohttp://www.coolreviewsrule.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-1161007730683283902014-04-29T06:16:29.725-07:002014-04-29T06:16:29.725-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-54905036772905841402014-04-28T18:59:21.114-07:002014-04-28T18:59:21.114-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-75743066158352419462014-04-28T14:47:59.726-07:002014-04-28T14:47:59.726-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-84842652851038383232014-04-27T10:34:53.933-07:002014-04-27T10:34:53.933-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sasha Shapirohttp://www.coolreviewsrule.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-83383238366505372212014-04-27T10:31:00.919-07:002014-04-27T10:31:00.919-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sasha Shapirohttp://www.coolreviewsrule.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-20896764532177995992014-04-26T03:05:32.917-07:002014-04-26T03:05:32.917-07:00she was scaryshe was scarySasha Shapirohttp://www.coolreviewsrule.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110023307505681081.post-41469811734802212222014-04-25T14:00:26.421-07:002014-04-25T14:00:26.421-07:00Yes, "Swinton was disturbingly excellent"...Yes, "Swinton was disturbingly excellent", perfect description!Jupiter C.http://wp.me/1Dq7lnoreply@blogger.com
