You might want to re-read my last few posts. As it is, I think I'm out on a limb giving the writers credit for how they're portraying Daenerys. I don't think you understand the discussion. We were discussing the options Dany has in front of her and whether preparing to sack King's Landing is now something she might need to consider without being a dark evil tyrant bad guy. Obviously, hoping that Jaime will leave the bed of his new lover in order to come down and personally drag Cersei out of the capital is hardly a viable strategy from where she's standing. For what it's worth, I don't think giving Daenerys an easy way out is necessarily good writing even if it does tie in some other thread. |
Well you must not have been paying attention to the last episode, because they made it pretty clear she's lost all objectivity on being good or evil. Her view now is that whatever it takes to get on the Iron Throne is justified, as it's her right:
"Do you believe we're here for a reason, Lord Varys? I'm here to free the world from tyrants. That is my destiny, and I will serve it no matter the cost." -Daenerys
"I served tyrants most of my life. They all talk about destiny." -Varys
And who said they'd be giving her an easy way out? She may avoid having to massacre thousands of innocents, but the sooner she gets to the throne the sooner she just becomes the next despot/Cersei, paranoid someone better suited (Jon) for the role is about to take it from her, as they've already shown the beginnings of.
