The one episode heel turn of Daenerys Targaryen from Khaleesi, whose sole purpose was to free innocents from the brutal social structures of Westeros, to Mad Queen who burns a city of innocents alive was a bizarre act of betrayal of their own character. Weiss and David Benioff did to her, and rightly so. Many articles will be published this week about what Jon did to Dany, and more importantly what show creators D.B. “We’ve had enough war,” he says, voice thick with emotion.
And Ser Davos Seaworth, a jumped-up smuggler with a silly title who over the course of seven seasons somehow became the show’s voice of wisdom, interrupts. The assembled lords and ladies of Westeros sat arguing over what to do following the (spoiler) death of Daenerys Targaryen at the hands of Jon Snow. For me, the most powerful moment on the series finale of “Game of Thrones” (other than watching a grief-stricken Drogon burn down the Iron Throne) was a tiny moment easily missed in between the episode’s big (Dany!) and crazy (Bran?) twists.
