Just looked - Fire and Blood. The Times said it was "interminable, self-indulgent crap." |

Think of Tolkien's Silmarillion, it's the history/lore book that no-one asked for

A character doesn't turn out the way you want? Live with it. Someone you don't like is on the Iron Throne? Life isn't fair. From the beheading of Ned Stark in season one, Game of Thrones has been very clear that things don't go as you expect, bad people triumph and good people die. As Ramsay Bolton observed "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." If people are unhappy that Dany has become the Mad Queen, they weren't watching when she burnt Mirri Maz Duur alive in season one, promised "When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me. We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground" and "I will take what is mine, with fire and blood" in season two. This summarises the foreshadowing of what happened in episode five very well: "She firmly believes in the power she will one day wield. She believes that she’s destined to possess it for dynastic reasons and because of her dragons. And she’s not afraid to threaten with the promise of fire if anyone stands opposed to her. The young leader’s threats eventually become action, and burning people alive is something Dany does in every season of the show. Here are a few examples:
https://www.polygon.com/game-of-thro...ame-of-thrones Since Daenerys landed at Westeros, she has become increasingly isolated, losing the allegiances of the Houses of Tyrell and Dorne, two of her dragons, the calming influence of Barristan Selmy, most of her armies, her oldest friend and father figure, the trust of her advisers, her best friend, her legitimate claim to the throne, and Jon snow's love. Everyone has a breaking point!

She was very fragile at the beginning of the show and has been manipulated for a long period of time before losing almost everything (Drogon the lone exception) which was important to her.

I love that she lost the plot fear of loosing the throne knowing everyone will turn against her if the truth comes out her babies getting murdered and all the other things she has experienced it was never gonna be a walk off into the sunset happy ending.
