Something I think the show misses about Dany is that while the in-universe narrative among characters may have been that she is the Mad King's Daughter, there's also the other side that Barristan saw: She is also Rhaegar's sister. Her sense of destiny and the thought that it

Thinking about how the show just fabricated conflict for women and girl characters while men were so easily "chill" with each other. Like, Jon and Jorah are TOTALLY going to clash when they meet each other.

reluctant leader cuts against women, POC, LGBTQ, disabled people, those who DON'T already have power. And when they try to take some of it, they get painted as power hungry for wanting something denied to them. Because we have to fight for it in a way those who just get it don't.

Missandei should have been a POV and could have provided the Essosi perspective that could have helped ground readers in the Meereenese arc. Lack of Essosi perspectives caused readers to have less emotional investment in the Slaver's Bay arc and is part of readers' frustration.
Matchup 31: Podrick Payne (54) vs. Missandei (75)
Pod is loyal as a squire to Tyrion & as a companion to Brienne, saving them both at least once. Missandei, wise beyond her years, offers Dany a shoulder to cry on & a reminder of innocence that she badly needs.

I've said it before but I'll say it again: I'm (foolishly?) optimistic about HOTD. Among other things in this interview, this displays an understanding of the material (also the non-highlighted part at the bottom about the context of the peace in Westeros)

Besides Aegon’s prophecy/dragon dream’s implications for the main series, it’s functioning as it does for (some) prophecy in the books: supplying character motivation and at times, creating a sense of irony within the story.

Sometimes, I think about how Brienne left the Stark troops just before Maege & Dacey Mormont returned with Robb & how meeting the Mormont women would've changed her life. Seeing brave warrior women wielding real political power could've been the start of self-acceptance.

I've been saying it since Sons but reading the Jaehaerys & Alysanne excerpt & looking at the span of Fire & Blood solidifies it for me: The story from Aegon I—Aegon III isn't just the history of dragonlords—it's the history of how women's political power in Westeros diminished.

I have chosen, for this instance, to disregard any logical production explanation for Jon not saying bye to Ghost in lieu of the in-universe explanation that Jon, also possessing Targaryen blood, is in fact the mad one AND IS A MONSTER WHO DOESN'T DESERVE PETS

What's fun about Daenerys—and many of ASOIAF's women—is you can see how men in their lives often think of them only as pawns to buy alliances. But Tyrion does a wonderful job of summarizing this mistake to fAegon: "I know she is proud. How not? What else was left her but pride?"

Something I love about how Cersei is written, esp in AGOT, is that the first time we see the TRUE Cersei is in the godswood with Ned. She's characterized as an "ice queen," with her face like an icy mask and Robert calling her "cold."
But the godswood reveals the truth:

Yet there were those in-universe who saw Rhaegar as valiant and noble. There are those among readers who would argue that Rhaegar might have been right, that it's worth it if it saves the world. But that IS the question: Are destiny & the price of achieving it worth the cost?

While the show has touched on some of this, George has made it clear that these civil wars are leaving the Seven Kingdoms even more unequipped for a winter than they usually are. The more people starve, the more people die, and the more wights join the Others.

Interesting quote in the picture, especially as Jaime raises the question of "were they better back then? Or is it just my nostalgia coloring it all rose?" (paraphrased). Then he wonders when the boy inside him had died. Reminds me of Aemon's advice, "Kill the boy and
And me, that boy I was … when did he die, I wonder? When I donned the white cloak? When I opened Aerys’s throat? That boy had wanted to be Ser Arthur Dayne, but someplace along the way he had become the Smiling Knight instead.
