Everything you've explained is literally a single quote that was hardly dispositive. Meanwhile, the whole of her character's behavior in recent episodes point in another direction. That's not complex changes. If that's where they're going, they did a terrible job. And, no, it's not because I love Daenerys. I'm simply watching the show, seeing the inconsistency in this theory that Daenerys is out of control when matched with her state of mind throughout the season. I'm noticing that they half-quoted Varys's loyalty oath where he swore not to go behind her back like he did the other kings. I'm noting Jorah's last bit of advise to Dany was to trust Tyrion after his recent failures, who wants to believe in his queen. This feels like the final storyline for Varys and Tyrion, not for Daenerys. Could I be wrong? Sure. It's very possible the writers are simply booting this storyline. |
Exactly, "wants to believe..", though you clearly see he knows in his heart she's gone, and the more he tries to deny it the more wine he drinks. He's lost his edge ever since he started serving her, and there's strong indication that he may be in love with her too, which is why he doesn't want to give up on her. But the writing is on the wall. They've thrown every possible hint they can that she's going off the edge, and I can't help it if they've all gone right over your head.
