    At least 3,500 parents may regret naming their babies Khaleesi after Sunday's Game of Thrones

    This year, the oldest American Khaleesis are turning 8, perhaps old enough to wonder why their namesake is so evil.

    This is a perfect microcosm of politics and real life where most start out wanting to make the world a better place and get seduced by circumstance, ego and whatever else.

    "You die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain."

    "Daenerys may not be the hero, kings landing needs, but she may well be the one it deserves."

    Nobody is complaining Daenerys becoming the mad queen. Complaints are about the way she becomes mad queen. The writing and out of character stuff.

    You are a fukking weird dumb fukk, so no you would not understand. Advise you to maybe watch episode-reviews on youtube and compare your take with normal people.

    There's a documentary freakonomics did on naming conventions where they analyzed names people have and found a black guy who named one of his sons "Winner" and his other son he named "Loser".

    His son named "Winner" engaged in a life of a crime and wound up being a career criminal who was always in prison. His son named "Loser" went to college, got a degree and had a successful career.

    What is there to complain about?

    I think western storytelling sells people on the idea that its ok for them to make bad decisions, do stupid shit and have everything "work out" in the end. People feel entitled to have a "happy ending".

    They get mad because Daenerys story shows people are not entitled to have anything. If they make bad decisions it can and often will come back to haunt them, the way the decisions made by characters in game of thrones did. I think that's what people object to the most.

    People are also probably seeing things they dislike most about themselves reflected in Daenerys behavior. That's another aspect to it.

    JFC Sanity, people are allowed to have a different opinion than yours, stop being so intense...

    The penetrating show was great in many categories, BUT, the writing was SHIT, character development was DESTROYED, and the story was rushed because Dumb and Dumber (showrunners) were fed up with the schedule and want it to rush it to work on Star Wars. That much is obvious. They also suck at writing so there's that.

    I thought I might be a little on the autistic side.

    Even I realize Jon Snow is sending Ghost away to a place of safety cuz he's depressed, anxious and is afraid relations between him and Daenerys are going to deteriorate and go straight to hell and he doesn't want Ghost to get mixed up in it. Then Jon Snow tells Samwell Tarly he hopes they have a girl who won't be named after him. Why? This is foreshadowing. Jon Snow has a bad feeling about how circumstances are unfolding.

    There are a lot of things people are not picking up on.

    Another thing people might not have noticed is both Brienne and Gendry were virgins. The scene where Arya is lying there not looking at Gendry, that's supposed to convey Arya thinking: "I think this guy lied to me about having done this before". Et al.

    Bro...earlier in that episode she threatened Jon about keeping the secret. A few scenes later he tells the secret! Obviously, things weren't going to work out. No need for anymore foreshadowing there.

    Sanity...do you think they will kill Drogon? If so, how do you think they do it? It better not some lame shit like Arya finds the one scorpion in Kings Landing that wasn't destroyed and one shot kills him.

    I'd say the only good thing about this season was the moment the Hound told Arya to fuk off.

    IDK, the evacuation to the crypt for safety just to have their long dead relatives in the crypt arise and attack them was pretty interesting

    Nailed it. Except the visual effects/cgi part. They went cheap on the budget and blackened episode 3 bc of it. The biggest battle scene of the series and they went cheap... then tried to lie about it as a cover-up.

    Also, conveniently got rid of 2 dragons and all the direwolves to skimp even more on cgi budgeting

    Go back to episode 4 and watch messendei's execution. The gates to KL open up, qyburn walks out a quarter mile to meet Tyrion, gates close.

    Gates stay closed the entire time, qyburn stays outside the gates near Dany and the unsullied. Yet when messendei gets her head lopped off, qyburn is magically safe and back inside KL? That's just horrible writing, B-list horror movie writing from the 50s

    In what world does greyworm not kill qyburn on the spot right there? GTFO with this season has been great. It's been shit for a season and a half now, this last one is like the end of the third marriage, sloppy and dgaf as hell

    Jaime, the most dynamic character sees his arc go to nothing in a pointless write off. What was the point of his 8 season journey from royalty to beggar and everything in between just to end like that? Beyond stupid

    It might have been better if the show ended like this and the next 3 episodes were the Knight King riding a dragon to work everyday and mowing his ice lawn on the weekends

    Arya Stark is prophecized to kill someone with brown eyes (Walter Frey), blue eyes (The Night King) and green eyes (unknown).

    Any clue as to who the person with green eyes is?

    He tries to quit Cersei and start over with a new life.

    Sansa ruins it all by treating him like an unwelcome guest.

    He realizes he can't quit Cersei and start over in winterfell so he heads back to the only place and people where he has ever been treated like family.

    That's fine but why even bother going to winterfell? He's got one hand and it's his off hand. What difference is he really going to make against the undead? The fact that he survived that ordeal is a joke in itself

    Cersei was the obvious choice but since that ship has sailed Dany is the only available option. I guess Jon won't be the one to do it after all

    You guys act like they even care about writing with any sense in this rushed season, prophecies are not even talked about or explained unless they want to jump the shark with Arya killing NK for no good reason.

    She could kill Dany but it would be happenstance. It'll be Snow

    Benioff and Weiss made this season a total dumpster fire.

    I'll watch it later.

    We've seen what Daenerys does when she feels cornered:



    She has a long history of solving her problems with fire & violence that people are forgetting.

    She only did what she always does when she is afraid or fustrated. She burns everything.

    Writing has been a joke this season. Episode 1 of season 8 was hilarious.

    Jon gets done telling Sansa that Dany's not like her father and the very next scene Dany's telling Sam that she burned his father and brother alive

    He should've just said fuQ bitch you're not even the rightful heir to the throne as he was on his way to tell Jon his lineage

    For the "no one could have predicted Daenerys would burn everything, its not in her character" crowd.

    .

    Problem solving with Daenerys Targeryen

    Problem: Asshole brother. Problem solving: asshole brother is burned with molten gold.
    Problem: Khal Drogo died. Problem solving: burn witch and dragon egg's with fire.
    Problem: Dothraki Khals wont accept Daenerys as queen. Problem solving: burn all of the khals with fire.
    Problem: Sorcerers capture Daenerys and her dragons. Problem solving: her dragons burn them.
    Problem: Daenerys needs to free slaves. Problem solving: her dragons burn the fk out of them until they surrender.
    Problem: Some in west eros wont bend the knee to Daenerys. Problem solving: dracarys, dragons burn them.

    Ok.

    Now how the fukk are people going to say Daenerys, the character who solved ALL OF HER LIFE PROBLEMS by burning things is not going to resort to fire like a pyro maniac when she is stressed out and doesn't know what to do?
