Instead of having an amicable debate about a difference of opinions, you decide to be rude, smug, and really stand-offish. Point two: Rude. Again. There's no need. Take a look at your life if you think this is the way to interact with people wanting to have a discussion The irony of someone posting this about someone they consider to be rude. The only remotely rude thing in my previous post was when I asked if you where lying or clueless, because you made a claim which was outright wrong. Given the tone your reply and lack of self-awareness, I genuinely think we're done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if she had an heir that's what she would be. Jon would be king, their kid would be next in line. She'd be like...last and have to wield power through others. Doesn't seem like her. Queen Regent means she is the ruler. I think she should be Queen Regent like the Queen of England. Jon can be her Consort. Their child will be the heir.

It diminishes his journey just as much as making her consort diminishes hers. Thats why I think they're written to be foils who oppose each other, two heroes fighting like Hector and Achilles. In this hypothetical, she would lose power as soon as the heir came of age and was crowned. And look how much Cersei loved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they chose to put off having Daenerys discover of Jon's identity until the last three minutes of the episodes. If they had paced themselves properly that would have been the conflict last seasons instead of 7 episodes of nothing +a ridiculous "wight hunt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the plan from the very beginning was to put Rhaego on the IT. And Viserys before that. She never imagined herself being queen. People like to portray her as some power hungry tyrant, but it’s always been about restoring her house, not just herself. She’s going to need some time to wrap her head around Jon being a Targaryen, but I guarantee she will embrace having a living family member.

She became the most powerful, more powerful than Cersei or anyone else in the world. I dont think the maxim goes "absolute power corrupts only sometimes" re: she wants to restore her House? She added House Targaryen to the "wheel" she's breaking. She never wanted a living family member in the show. She seemed proud of being the Last Targaryen when she said it in S7.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the question I asked. Can you blame a young woman for not stepping in to protect her brother, when said brother has been tormenting and abusing her for her entire life, both physically and mentally, threatened to kill her on several occasions, and less than a minute earlier had threatened to kill both her and the unborn child she's currently carrying? If your answer to this question is a genuine "yes", then I'm not sure how to proceed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that's really her fate. I think House Targaryen needs to go. Westeros doesn't want her which will turn her back into a conqueror like she was before. Her true self. She'll probably die like Rhaegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dothraki don't do those things. And at that point Daenerys had lost herself to Drogo's world for bit, until the ugly side of it was made clear to her again when she saw his men raping, butchering and enslaving people that had done her no harm(unlike Viserys).

He broke a sacred law in Vaes Dothrak and forfeit his life. In the books Dany even tried to offer him the dragons eggs, but he wouldn’t listen. There were several Khals present, too, not just Drogo. The show simplified the scene, but he was dead as soon as he brandished his sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will use the Targaryen name since he is no longer a bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
