Daenerys Targaryen has come a long way since the beginning of her time on Game Of Thrones, but now it seems like she might have gone too far.
***Warning: Spoilers Ahead***
The temper of the Dothraki queen has been kept in check for far too long thanks to advisors and right-hand men being there to hold her back when needed.
But now they’ve all gone, the battle for King’s Landing took a horrific turn on Sunday night when the vengeful queen literally rained hell upon their Army – as well as the citizens that were drawn into the middle of it all.
Killing hundreds, even after they surrendered, Dany showed no mercy as she unleashed fury – as Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister looked on in shock and panic over what she was capable of next.
She also killed Varys for betraying her and revealing to the masses that Jon Snow was in fact, the true heir to the throne – something she had sworn him to secrecy over.
As it happened, viewers had a lot of thoughts – and not many of them good, as the confusion over the calm and peaceful monarch suddenly turning violent appeared to signal her move towards the fate of her father, the so-called Mad King.
‘I expected fire and blood, but Dany had gone too far, far beyond what is needed to get the Throne,’ one wrote.
Well another declared: ‘Going through the hashtag and seeing people DEFENDING Daenerys and what she did makes me sick,’
However, others have noticed that she had probably had this in her all along – especially a chilling warning delivered all the way back at the end of season two.
‘For me, Dany didn’t do anything wrong. They deserved it. ” I will take what is mine with fire and blood “,’ one fan reminded people.
Another said: ‘This is what we’ve been waiting for ever since Dany became the mother of dragon’s. Great episode. Dragon fire, Kings Landing under seige, major deaths, Cleganebowl, Arya survives, conflict between Jon/Dany. Starks vs Targaryen last episode.’
Basically, everyone’s more divided about this than who they think should end up on the iron throne.
Either way, the true consequences of her actions will soon be revealed as the show enters its final moments next Sunday.
The Iron Throne now very much up for grabs, can Daenerys hold on to the power that she believes she’s owed?
With the trailer looking dark and foreboding, Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark in particular look like they have their part to play in the final fate of Westeros.
Then there’s Daenerys herself, who, if the recent episode is anything to go by, is beginning to lose touch with reality as bloodlust takes over.
If you play the Game Of Thrones you win, or you die, so something tells us that the death count is far from over as we head into the epically long series finale that will give us our final answer.
Let the final game begin…
Game Of Thrones continues Sundays on HBO and Sky Atlantic.
