The poor girl with a gentle heart sold to a savage turning into a villain? Now that would be some serious trolling from the authors, wouldn't it? I don't know. She was a victim at first, but she has slowly become more and more power-hungry and vengeful. I'm curious to see where it goes. I like arcs where kind gentle characters turn evil. But I also predict she will play a heroic/redemptive role if/when her goal of conquest fails. She's gone both ways, really. At the end of S1, she "freed" her followers and made a promise to those who stayed: "I am the Dragon's daughter. And I swear to you that those who would harm you will die screaming." She burned the healer she thought had harmed her but a closer look shows no evidence of it. Jorah had brought her inside the tent against the healer's explicit instructions to stay away. It felt like she was offering protection but she really spoke only of retribution. Then of course, her goals are purely personal, as she told the Spice King in Qarth when asking for his ships: "I am Daenerys Stormborn of the blood of old Valyria and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood". Outside of the city, speaking to the Thirteen, all she had were demands and threats: "Thirteen! When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me. We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground. Turn us away and we will burn you first." She is just as entitled as her brother and her words make him look like he was the sensible one: "Who can rule without wealth or fear or love?" he asked. He had three options, she seems to know only one. |

I never saw her as a "kind" person or an potential able ruler. She is quite full of herself.
1.BTW, where did you reached bro? Because a very very major thing happens in season 3 and I think we would all love to hear how you found that thrilling thing.
2. And who is this green Ackbar? Is he also a legit Ackbar like you & the red one or is he some non-Ackbar pretending to be Ackbar?

I'll start with second question: Lord Ackbar is indeed a legit Ackbar. One of the first of our "order"! He is a gentleman and a scholar! First question: Hmmm. I'm not sure what you are referring to so I likely have not seen it yet. Jamie Lannister just lost a hand, but I doubt that's what you mean.  I will check back when this thing happens! Looking forward to it! I just saw the ending where Denarius Tarrgarian/Stormborne buys the slave army and then kills the masters! Great sequence! I love her! LOL. But she's definately on a villain arc if there ever was one. Her deeds are somewhat admirable now, but I foresee a darker future. Can't wait! |

A lion with a missing paw is a sorry thing. Jaime will never be the same again  Daenerys is continuing on her path of burning people for personal gain and has now become a thief. She's gone to the next level by bullshitting the poor sods she's "freed": "Come die for me and you'll have a purpose to believe in, brainwashed robots. Since you've been broken into not even knowing what you could want or fear, we might as well use it to make something out of me. Walk next to me as I throw the symbol of your maiming into the dirt, fools will see me as a liberator." |

Something even massive than Jaime losing his hand is going to happen soon and you will be stupefied by it.
Well, I am delighted to know about Mr.Green Ackbar and his great personality. If he is a GOT fan then we would gladly invite him to post here too.

Ok. So I assume you were reffering to the wedding episode... Holy shit! They killed Robb Stark, his queen, and his mother! I did not expect that!  |

That was truly shocking for most of us (at par with Lord Stark's beheading). That said it is stuffs like these that has made the show so special. So even if I am a pro-Stark I have nothing against these favourite killing ways of the show. I hope you are still enjoying. |

I was planning to watch a bunch of episodes today... But that was so shocking I need a break! I expected something bad to happen at the wedding- I thought maybe Robb would die, or his queen... But all three at once! |

Probably a three-way tie between Tyrion, John Snow and Denyrius Stormborne. |
