I don't think any foreshadowing is needed for dragons in Kings Landing. I think everyone assumes they'll be there eventually...


So ?, is that a criticism of the show ?. It's there.

edit: oops


Just making a statement about the dragons. Not trying to make a point...

That's kinda what I'm getting at, she placed her house in a precarious position, backing the losing team due to loyalty, I thought that character was one of the best things to come out the season.


Agreed. The little girl is a spitfire. But I fear with all the praise she's getting, the show runners will overdo it and start throwing her in where they shouldn't and she'll become annoying. I hope I'm wrong...

@1st reply

Aye, I only used it to re enforce my opinion of foreshadowing though, as they were doing it and I think that was the bigger hint at their own foreshadowing.

As you said, we know there will be dragons ove KL, maybe.

She also realized what the Boltons were about. You either die fighting them or they burn your entire House down after they deem you expendable, or worse, survive long enough to be zombified by the Night King.

There have been dragons over KL in the past. Just saying.
Not placing any bets on either end of the theory myself yet

Aye which is why it was unconfirmed and still a hint until that scene ;) , but at that time - before the ep, the dragons were the bigger hint at future events imo.

Trust me, that wasn't an accident or money saving technique. They wouldn't do that, it's like when Bran called out to Ned, straight away you knew they were hinting at something, wether they keep pulling the thread is a different matter.

lol, mostly that yes.
It was a last resort sort of thing too. Burn the city rather than giving it up to the enemy. He also believed the wildfire would set his inner dragon free or sommat

Here's a (admittedly rather nice) video from ESA featuring Aiden Gillen and Aisling Franciosi who play Littlefinger and Lyanna Stark in GoT respectively
