[@bbictorr]

Silviu Roman, one could argue tv Varys grew desperate after Tywin’s death. Too many options at the start, too few after Tywin died. Every character has a fatal flaw. His was trying to crown The best highborn, no matter the cost. At this point there aren’t any choices left & he saw Jon as his last hope. Varys knew he was being watched. Down on the beach was the best place to lowkey beg Jon. Idk. I’m rambling & trying to be deep lol Edit: forgot to add,.. had he lived, Tywin, Hand of the King: Take 2, would’ve been the best thing to happen to the kingdoms since...well since Tywin, Hand of the King: Take 1. I think tv Varys was almost content with him remaining in power a little while longer. Until the new gen. of highborns matured enough.

[@joshhunt4146]

lollypop2414 what did u want him to do? Kill Cersei? When she is pregnant with his child? That would be completely out of character! He is a much better person now than what he was before. So much so that he believes he doesn’t deserve to live because of the things he has done. He has been obsessed with Cersei since he was born. He knows that if they can’t escape, then they need to die together. They came into this world together, and they went out together. Perfect ending for a great character.

[@lollypop2414]

@@joshhunt4146 The perfect ending (on the show) would've been him not going back to her at all, and yes I still believe in the books he will be the one to kill Cersei. Cersei shouldn't have died by falling bricks. She deserved to be executed for her own crimes. Just because Dany went mad queen in this episode doesn't mean Cersei wasn't just as bad. The idea that Jaime suddenly doesn't feel sympathy for the innocent people of King's Landing is a load of BS. He killed the Mad King to save those people. He knew Cersei needed to die, just as Dany does now. If they had to have Jaime go back to Cersei on the show it would've been far more poetic if he would've killed her and then committed suicide. The way they went about it meant that all of the character growth he had (mostly with Brienne at this side) was for nothing (not to mention that what he did to Brienne was unforgivable).

[@joshhunt4146]

lollypop2414 if you think a one night stand with brienne is gonna make him forget Cersei then you haven’t been paying attention. He’s been obsessed with her. Everything he has ever done has been for her. He was always gonna go back to her after winterfell. That was probably the only reason he went, to protect her. The man is a lost cause. He’s like an addict and needs his fix.

[@hatikvah2197]

The writing has been on the wall for Dany to be a mad queen from very early on, so I don't mind this as an end to her character arc. What I do have a problem with is her going from a subtle, gradual descent to full on genocide in an episode and a half. So much of this season feels rushed and undeserved.

[@pulkmees]

Looks like she was worth jack shit as a leader once her advisors started dying off. All she cared most in the end was revenge.

[@joeywilson4916]

There was not any graduall decent that bitch has been the same from day one. She had a goal from day one and then she did it. Dany i believe dont give two shits about aby body as long as they bow to her.

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

Hold up a sec. She's been losing her shit since the start. She watched her own brother be murdered, crucified those shitheads in the bath robes, burned the Tarly's alive. This has been a long time coming. My wife's been like: "Oh, she's just working some stuff out." and I've been like: "Nah, this bitch is insane. All she needs is that spark to ignite the fire." The only thing keeping her anchored was her crew; Ser Barristan, Ser Jorah, Varys, etc. You remove all the voices of reason and she was a ticking time bomb.

[@igisingorsomething]

Agreed.

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

@Liz Lee I assume that's severe sarcasm, yes? Are you seriously still on her team? She burned alive millions of men, women and children. As Tyrion said; Put together every single person that Tywin and Cersei murdered and it still wouldn't be as many as Dany killed burning King's Landing to the ground. Keep trying to find an excuse, but, fact is, she was completely insane.

[@NotCthulhu]

I mean the foreshadowing that she was a Hitler allegory was always there (no I didn't see it personally). So it's kind of powerful to think so many people were okay with her, or apathetic at best. But as far as genuine character motivation, nothing really lead to this last decision. She already won. In a world full of fellow murderers, who was to say she'd become the worst? Now maybe that's the point, how many people could have predicted Hitler at the time? Maybe the signs were there. But if nowhere else, in the show, it was way too fast. She was a nondescript egomaniac who became Hitler in less than a season, if not in a split second. Again... maybe the point. So conflicted... 😬

Episode5. iron fleet cant do sh** misses evry shot Danny ending up as the madqueen: the issue i have not so much the fact she became the madqueen but more so the execution of the story. forshadowed or not- character arcs are believable if theyre done correctly. just because a character snapped and shat on 7years of storytelling doesnt mean its justifiable to say it was hinted all along. i mean it was just rushed and forced. it didnt even make sense. shes actively done evrything she could to not be like the madking. the same character that freed a city of slaves and never wanted to harm innocents- killing people who wronged her or fought against her in some way- hell...she even locked her dragons away when she was shown one child being burnt- now all of a sudden we should just accept it makes sense she burns a whole city of innocents after already winning. why not just go fly to kill cersei. she spent the whole episode mowing down rows of innocents rather than goin for cersei. wtf

Geez, I hope you don't commit mass murder when someone important in your life die. Dany an evil bitch. She been evil for awhile.

[@tylerburford]

Dead Pool I did not say I agree with her doing what she did. I said Theres a part of me that understands why someone who went through the things she had gone through, would react the way she did. That does not mean I agree with it. Everyone close to her was either murdered, or betrayed her. And you say that “now that she has power she is a complete tyrant”. Uh, what do you even mean, she has had an insane amount of power basically since season 3 when she got the unsullied. It’s more then just her having power that is contributing to her killing her enemies. It’s her losing two of her dragons (children) and her closest friends being murdered. (Missandei , Jorah). Along with feeling betrayed by everyone around her.

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Jon was an MVP when he was a Snow. Jon became an NPC when he was a Starkgaryen.

No one mentioned even once that John was the main culprit for what happened to Kings Landing. Hadn't he told his secret to Sansa and the rest, no one would push Danny to the edge when everyone betrayed her (first of all John himself) and she lost her mind. It is not her to be blamed, but John

[@NikkiStevenReact]

But why should he have to hide who he really is? It’s his secret to share.

[@klinekg1]

Nikki & Steven React Danny explained that very well when she asked John to keep his secret. She made a perfect point there. I just don’t want to repeat that :) and even if i think he had the right to tell that, i agree with Danny. Her legacy was shaky in westeros, but she helped them to defeat the night king with huge sacrifice (lost her dragon and lots of troops and put her own life under risk) so at least she deserved their appreciation and respect, especially Sansa who didn’t do a thing to save her ‘kingdom’ during the Winterfell battle

[@NikkiStevenReact]

yes she was scared that Jon would be more loved than her. She was scared that the voices would be uncontrollable. She made all of that a 100% lock now. But I ask again, why should he have to live his life as a bastard when that is not who he is. He has the right to be who he was born to be. that is the bottom line regardless of what was asked of him. She wasn't asking him to keep their relationship a secrete. She was asking him to hide his true identify.

[@klinekg1]

Nikki & Steven React in politics, there is no “I” or “I want”. It is all about what is the best for the state, people if you really care about your state. He got to be smart in his position as a “king” of the north. And whatever happened in Kings Landing is the direct consequence of what he did. He gave away a crucial info to Danny’s enemies which eventually destroyed her. BTW, once he was resurrected, he is no longer neither bastard nor Targarien. Technically he is just a resurrected zombie who needed to serve his prophecy just like others were resurrected by the god of fire/light whatever you may call it

[@miab.9521]

Nikki, you said this in a previous episode. Dany stands by her word. Mind you and Steven; remember Season 7 episode 1. When Dany told Varys if you ever betray me, I'll burn you alive. So it's true, she stands by her word.

[@Valkyrie0801]

I don’t understand why she burned the city first, instead of going straight for the castle to Cersei. There were innocent men, women and children there. It’s so unlike her character that they’ve built up over the past 7 years. She’s always gone out of her way to protect people and with the least amount of casualties. She’s freed hundreds of thousands of slaves, people who weren’t even part of her army. She even locked up two of her babies because the other burned a single child. If GRRM’s end game was Dany going mad I wouldn’t really mind even though she’s my favourite character. But the way D&D are executing it is frustrating cause it seems they’re pushing it too hard when it should have been over a couple seasons. I’m so emotionally exhausted from these past few episodes. ..but I still can’t wait to see the last episode.

[@aDogggggg]

Here it's like: her heart got broken, 2 of her children and her 'best friend' killed, her most loyal companion dead and her advisors more or less betraying her in just a couple of episodes... so what does she do?
