    Yeah and he’s stuck as D&D would narc him out of he changed it now in a desperate attempt to save their tattered reputations.

    As others have mentioned Danis heel turn was rushed by also Brans story was also cut short. If they had actually given him the time to have some epic adventures and actually save everyone then may be he could have lived up to Tyron’s billing at the council.

    Some of it is also he just doesn’t know when to self edit out the additional pov stories. We should be reducing them as we approach the finish not adding new ones as he has been doing.

      Oh man, I totally forgot about the new characters being introduced. He should be killing off the big ones and using one time characters to give more backstory/perspective like that alcoholic Frey with the headaches sent to pay ransom.

      He could get out of the mereneese knot by showing POV from different factions how Dany tries to govern, but ppl are assholes and the only way is to rule with an iron hand. Bad things, good intentions blah blah blah. Do everything right and still fuck up.
