Daenerys Next Move, Destroy Winterfell

Published May 14, 2019 · Updated July 6, 2022

HI guys,

I had a couple of thoughts and questions with regard to Episode 5.

I initially agreed with your thoughts on the final interaction between the Hound and Arya, but after thinking about it I was okay with it. Arya has learned when to run and when to fight, that is part of who she is. Back in season one when she learned the motto “what do we say to the god of death? – Not today”, that day she learned to avoid death she had to run. Yes, it would have been nice if Hound was more articulate and gave us something more profound, but that isn’t who he is.

So my questions;

Why wouldn’t Danny’s next move be to go destroy Winterfell given the only threats to her claim to the throne are there?

Surely the only way the Dragon can be killed involves some sort of magic – so is this going to be Bran’s involvement?

Cheers
Ollie
