Discussion; how to chain your dragon.

- [Dany chaining up her dragons] was about as moving as a scene involving a bunch of CGI creatures can be.
- Yeah, well I don't see why they made that so dramatic. It's like "Do you leave your dog at home when you go do something?"
- But these are not just her d... I mean, these - I do believe, these...
- It's exactly the same thing, but ok, whatever...
- These are her ch... I mean - ok. Imagine a cat lady with her three cats at home and how attached she is to these. Then imagine that these cats are magically born of a funeral pyre of her dead husband and her unborn child and these are the last things that she's got and also her last hope for, I don't know, conquering... Whatever the hell she wants to conquer. Dany's a cat lady times 1000.

- What about Dany?
- I thought it was maybe a little bit of justice for her. Seeing that she's been neglecting her dragons, they've taken out a child, she didn't even think about the population of this place outside of "I'm just going to free these people and let them do whatever the fuck they're going to do after I free them and totally fuck up their lives".
- That whole sequence was basically a Brienne vs. The Hound kick to the crevice for her. "Oh, you freed the slaves? Well what about the old dudes that are getting shafted?"
- There are more logistics to it than just going in and saying that no-one can be a slave anymore.
- Yes, once you're done crowdsurfing you actually have to figure out how to do things and oh, by the way your dragons are out of control; now it's not just costing you gold that we can make funny jokes about "The Great Goat-scam of Meereen"**. Now there's blood on hands.
