S7 tyrion brought it up to dany very smart of him after all but dany shut him down , is it because dany doesnt like to think of anyone ruling except her? or is it because she cant have children? i mean tyrion asked that question knowing dany cant have children so i dont think he was trying to be insensitive i saw it as him planning the future , but we never got to know what dany thinks about it or her plan is but tyrion wanted to discuss it really really bad , the whole conversation and danys expression that day led me to believe that she is not ready to step aside for anyone and im including jon being revealed as a targaryen .
what do you all think about it ?
and here is the video of that exchange

I wouldn't say its very smart of Tyrion to bring this up.
Most of Daenerys' army are loyal to only her. The Dothraki, the Dragons, the Unsullied. If Dany dies early, their entire effort is lost, no matter what succession plan they make.
In my opinion this scene is there to perhaps foreshadow Jon and Dany's child, but also its D&D's way of trying to show potential conflict between Tyrion and Dany, even though it feels very forced.

It is smart in that succession is a key to loyalty. This aspect was brought early in S2E03 by Margaery to Renly. Dothraki and Unsullied might have no other choice, but the rest of Westeros will not readily follow a leader without an accepted heir because it implies a long term gamble with deadly strife at the end. This is why kings always placed high value on having one or several sons, sometime at the cost of breaking with the church. The likes of Littlelfinger or Varys supported Joffrey because he was the key to their keeping their position. High ranking nobles supported him because it meant peace. Daenerys is portrayed as the single minded tyrant she is. It has become forced and heavy handed but a large part of the audience is still too dumb for that.

Hard to tell without seeing it though, but she still thinks she cannot have children, doesn't she? So the question of succession is a touchy one regardless of this. She told Daario she would have to marry for an alliance but she also knows it's a false promise in that she cannot provide what is expected of marriage: the stabilising presence of an accepted heir. The whole premise of Daenerys as a ruler is so flawed it just cannot go well. She comes in as an overpowering conqueror like some Attila with a whole people of savages and cannot further her own line.

Well she used to be married to khal drogo and he looked like a beast in comparison with jon snow LOL I too think dany went into this looking to marry for alliances and i dont think she expected to fall in love with jon snow this is why i think when she gets rejected she will lose it above anything else daenrys is not used being rejected especially by men and i think the conversation with sansa/Little Finger in S7 about how beautiful the dragon is with sansa replying "what has that anything to do with it? " its a clue and hint where this is heading.

and it will be an ice blade kinda the one night king used on her dragon , i still think jorah may be the one who kils her instead of jon after he is turned into a zombie or dany wont be able to kill her own dragon when she sees him all messed up like a zombie dragon she will fall into pieces and he will end up killing her-just like his namesake her brother viserys intended to do on the day khal killed him , he told dany you dont want to wake up the dragon and she finally did .

It is the whole history of the Targaryens in Westeros, the expanded version of what he already delivered in The World of Ice and Fire a couple of years ago. A bit of a pointless background history book, I suppose. Why is he writing this? I wonder. Maybe I'll write a book of how Tywin brought me home once, then how Cersei took my defence and said I was hers after I bit someone in the household, or how I used to make Tyrion run up the stairs just for fun whenever he tried to look into her room.I guess that would be just as interesting.

The rest is a bunch of prophecy morons running wild into the traps he is laying for them.
