Theo, absolutely, and it makes perfect sense for the plot and characters. It still amuses the shit out of me.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Impassable mountains - useful defense against dragons?
I'm betting "no" because flying.
Via AWOIAF, Marten will will address this in the upcoming World of Ice and Fire (spoilers):
The Arryns (also at this time ruled by a young boy and his regent mother) sent a massive army to the Bloody Gate and then high-tailed it into the Eyrie. But Visenya Targaryen simply rode her dragon up into the courtyard of the Eyrie and the regent rushed outside to see the young king seated on the dragon and begging her for a ride. The Arryns surrendered and the king had his ride.
Hah!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Danny's going for her "Ruling" badge. It's a shame none of her advisors have much experience there.
This also brings up for me how Danny has barely any control over the dragons. So she is having a leadership struggle over the dragons and her "empire."

And the cities of Slaver's Bay are easier to control than dragons.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Dany is not aware that she is a Level 4 Sovereign, so she thinks taking on a Level 12 dungeon is a Good Plan.

Because books.
I do love that Dany is just determined to see it through, no matter what. The girl has ovaries of steel.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I don't have HBO so I can't see this season of GOTs but that hasn't stopped me from spoiling myself by reading this thread.
I have a question about the Hound. I just mainlined my Season 3 DVDs and still don't know why the Hound was outside of Kings' Landing so that he could be captured by the Brotherhood?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
He fled during the Battle of Blackwater. He's afraid of fire.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have a Littlefinger question that I am hoping book readers can answer.
So, if Littlefinger is playing the long game here, what are we to believe is his ultimate aim? The power shifts he has contributed to/engineered could destabilize and cause more problems than he is prepared to address.
