Angel Eyes Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So when Daenerys, Drogon and the Dothraki attack the supply train, why does she also burn the supplies? It would make more sense to set Drogon against the Lannister soldiers, who are clustered together and make a big target for Drogon, and send the Dothraki after the supplies for her forces to use. An army doesn’t just fight, it also has to feed itself; Dothraki aren’t particularly great against lines of troops as the Unsullied proved. Besides, it’s rather bad for publicity for Daenerys to be burning supplies, since Winter is Coming and the smallfolk will starve without food (obviously), making it easier to support Cersei. “Oh look at the Dragon Queen who burns food we need!” Or Daenerys simply doesn’t concern herself with the opinion of sheep?

Erick Storm Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It's Daenerys being impulsive. Tyrion even says it plainly. Show haters say the show is dumbed down, yet they need everything explained to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S7 was the season of bad logistics in order to make cool scenes possible. This is the real reason. Quote It's Daenerys being impulsive. Tyrion even says it plainly. This is the in-universe reason. She gets carried away in the moment of 'being a dragon'. Plus Danny is inexperienced and untrained in how to use dragons in land battles. Quote Show haters say the show is dumbed down, yet they need everything explained to them. Not a show hater. I very much enjoy the show. I can and do 'fill in the blanks'.

This is exactly what bothered me about the episode (and btw I actually enjoyed this episode the most out of the whole season), ESPECIALLY because in an earlier scene Dany actually said that they don't have food without the House Tyrell. Then she burns it all... How the Dothraki stay so strong with no food on Dragonstone to feed them, I have no idea. PS Where are the Dothraki women? We didn't see one during the entire season.

I really enjoy the show but the slip ups by the showrunners are so damn frustrating. The entire production deserves better than lame plotholes that could easily be averted.

Rose of Red Lake Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 She'd burn it in the books too. Dragons are supposed to be destructive and Dany is fine with that. She went there to cause destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bolded) This was very curious to me. I seem to recall that the show did cast a baby before filming on season seven started. I thought that perhaps we might see a Dothraki give birth or a Dothraki with a baby. I don't know what happened with that casting. However, I guess it is now clear that only the Dothraki men have come to Westeros, and I guess, they have conducted themselves very honorably as I have seen no incidents of Dothraki committing crimes on the Westrosi population.
