Option A - she's whisked back to Mereen by Chico and the StoneMan. Option B - saved by a dragon. Option C - conquer an army, advance the plot, and GET US ALL THE HELL OUT OF MEREEN. I've seen worse things on this show. Call me crazy, tonight's was rather good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It seems show is just going to run with the idea she is fire proof. Fits into the show, but not the books. That's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. In fact it was hinted in the first season (before the last episode) that heat didn't affect her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot find a source for this, but it seems to be the quote (from around 2000) that gets bandied around regarding being fireproof: Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons?George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.Revanshe: So she won't be able to do it again?George_RR_Martin: Probably not.

I agree with you. I fully expected the Drogon option. That was actually a nice surprise, and it works better in terms of the overall plot (IMHO).

As many times as I've read the books and watched the shows, I can't keep all of the back story straight. I'm not afraid to admit it (: Thanks for the reminder.

That's fine. I mean she did survive being burnt once in the books too. Also survived her dragons burning down the House of the Undying. It's plausible enough at this point and they hinted it in the very first episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just proved that GRRM did not brief what happens after Danny meet Dothraki hords, D&D have no clue, hence they have to improvise, and like every time they try to improvise, there come the stupidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah the dragon would have been far more entertaining opposed to a room full of ultra violent guys watching her slowly knocking over the braziers while speechifying while doing nothing to stop her. Dany's whole messiah thing always comes across as cheesy as hell to me whenver something happens and she comes out and everybody starts bowing just makes me roll me eyes like crazy.

In the books it's repeated over and over how much she likes her scalding hot baths. But, she's burned by dragon fire. So maybe that's the thing. She's impervious to fire, but not dragon fire. Maybe it's special, like dragonglass or Valyrian steel. Pure speculation on my part, let the ridicule begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. This. It's also worth noting that if it wasn't fire-proof Dany ex-machina to get her out of that mess, it would have been Drogon ex-machina. Much prefer the show giving Dany some agency, and to be fair, they've been fairly consistent about her being relatively fire-proof in the show.
