    Yeah the world has magic and such but the people still act and behave and conduct war and think tactically like actual people. If they didn't and the show was just about magic and zombies it wouldn't be so popular.

        Apologies G, whilst I disagree with you I don't mean to direct my ire at you.

        I feel like this is a trick question, but not that I'm aware.

        Couldn't agree more.

            I was listening to Andrew Bolt's GoT podcast. He reckons the same BAD. That's apparently because the single mother of dragons Centrelink benefit doubles with every dragon you have, so as if she'd have just one and probably not know the father of the dragon eggs. Then you don't have to look for a job in any of the Kingdoms either. Then there's rent assistance and access to public housing in Kings Landing, much nicer than the North, and a health care card and cheaper access to milk of the poppy. So Dany will be at least claiming another 5 dragons according to AB.

              I'm very curious to hear you give this hunch flesh.

              Sometimes I marvel at your insanity. Sometimes it makes me chuckle.

              But Game of Thrones is serious business. Take your levity elsewhere or I'll dracaris you.

                Watched a Youtube prediction, and I am thinking it could be true.

                In the clip for next week - Why does Euron Greythorn looked surprised looking up at the sky? Are there many dragons howvering around?

                  I think it's probably more that Drogon will be wearing armour.

                  But we'll see. Dragons ex Machina would hardly be surprising given the current state of this series.

                    Best way I can reconcile it is that the other one didn't actually die, just fell into the sea and recovered with a bad jaw.

                      Wouldn't Danys dragon's have had eggs over the years?

                        I have no idea. I assumed because all three are named after men they are males.

                        But then again I also know nothing about the reproductive cycle of dragons and if they change sex if the situation calls for it.

                        Even still, it took the length of the show for her dragons to get that big. How big could their offspring be to have been able to remain unseen to this point?

                        If there really are more dragons, then it's literally dragon ex machina when I was only being facetious.

                            All good and understand it. I brought up the dragon chains because last season I'm like where did they get those? Walking Dead was the same when watching it. How do they travel so fast? It gets to a point when you're trying to find faults and not enjoying it. I love the show, I'll sit back and enjoy it without picking holes.

                              I respect that. I wish I wasn't wound up over it but I'm too far down the rabbit hole now.

                                Losing a dragon with no retaliation was a bit weak. Dany could have swung around the island and attacked from behind and torched the lot. Thus saving most of her fleet.
                                I hope the next two episodes are better.
                                That's really funny.
