Also what’s good with Aegon? Will he just not exist in the show? I’m guessing since Varys is with Dany as opposed to Kings landing with his little spiders I guess he isn’t.
That part from the epilogue when all the little kids had daggers would have been dope to see though.
So can Daenarys control fire or something? Unless she pre-soaked that building in gasoline, that fire spread pretty damn quickly and it seemed to conveniently follow those Dothraki dudes.
Also, does she need to breathe? I ain’t no fancy scientist or nothin’, but I know that fire tends to suck the oxygen out of the surrounding area and she was right in the middle of an inferno.
I’m thinking that the Sparrow is a master of prep time and he’s setting up Cersi and the nobles to spark a civil war, maybe even willing to martyr himself in the process.
There’s probably a scene on the cutting room floor that explains that temple getting prepped for arson (though then you run into the problem of why none of the dothraki noticed).
As far as the oxygen thing, just chalk that up to magic. Like her one trick isn’t really “unburning”, it’s more like “I can’t die in a fire”.
Though honestly if they had killed her off right after she emerged from the flames unharmed by having a burnt support beam fall on her head I genuinely think it would have been the greatest TV moment of all time.
It was pretty obvious to me that Dany had a chat with the other former queens and they were the ones that laid the groundwork for the trap.
Personally one of the pivotal scenes in the series for me as it touched upon the murkiness of magic/ miracles and their belief system. Although one popular theory is that there is just blood magic (which doesn’t make sense since Beric needed no sacrifice to be resurrected) and no gods, there are clearly forces with agendas at work on opposing ends of the spectrum. Maybe it’s ancient men with arcane knowledge that gave them godlike abilities that work through other people, or actual gods, but there is more than just obscure magic at work.
Interesting how this scene foreshadowed Jon’s resurrection. He was brought back in exactly the same manner as Beric. Melisandre just said the words out of desperation.
Also, she said that her and Arya will “meet again”…I wonder if Arya is going to assassinate Mel at some point?
Dany didn’t need much prep for her Khal-killing plan. All she needed was to make sure those braziers were topped up (an easy task for a low-ranking girl like the one she allies herself with), and to keep the doors barred (less easy but doable for her buddy cops).
Those braziers filled with oil were Chekov guns put there right from the start, when she first met the rest of the ex-khalwives.
Look at the Dosh Khaleen intro scene again a couple of episodes ago, and see how the lead ex-wife keeps lighting those things to make a point about Dany not being special. It actually makes it kinda extra-neat when she uses those exact things to prove just how special she is.
