HouseLark Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It sets up tension between our two main protagonists. In the books, I think it will matter more. The battle of Winterfell will likely play out a lot differently and I expect the dragons will be central to destroying the threat of the Others. I certainly don't expect killing one Chief Other will end the battle as it did in the show. We therefore need another dragon rider, maybe even a third as I'm still not convinced that Viserion will become a zombie-dragon in the books.

Ser Leo Targaryen Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 18 hours ago, Ser Uncle P said: R&L=J is opportunity to subvert the "hidden heir" trope. Instead of inheriting the Throne, the rightful heir is exiled as a murderer and oath breaker. On paper it's a nice twist... I think so too... I agree that it's super sad how the show lead things there. And I regret this point made that a "bastard is to always remain a bastard". But I feel like it makes a bigger point on dynasties and how they should not matter. It is a nice twist on paper. Not super well handled, unfortunately...
