I'd have to agree with you on that one. I'm a subscriber to the "Dany is going to go mad and become a villain" theory that is going around. Unfortunately D&D love her and will probably not go there.
I don't think Daenerys will go mad, there have been no signs of this.
She is already a villain. She is the enemy coming to take what never was hers, as was her brother before her.
She can wrap it in well-meaning propaganda all she likes, she is an invader coming with a foreign army, a people of savages and three monsters, surrounding herself with all the scum she can find: regicides, turncloaks, murderers, usurpers, piratesโฆ http://i.imgur.com/U0G9DuX.jpg
D&D "love" her as much as her fans do but she is a silver-haired herring bound to fail. She will die north of the Wall.
With the whole world keeping its eyes on the show being made and sharing every possible crumb of it on social media, spoilers are inevitable. This is just cold, hard fact.
The way around it is to move away from twist based scripts and provide better quality storytelling.
Look at The Crown on Netflix: there are no โspoilersโ to talk about, it is based on known history and makes a point of being accurate, yet it has received a major award instead of Game Of Thrones. Its success is not based on freaking idiots going โOh my God, I canโt believe what just happenedโ every third episode.
I was disappointed with Westworld, HBOโs intended โsuccessor to GoTโ. It started well, built up complexity and layers five solid episodes long but it was mostly based on posing riddles to viewers. I was following discussions on the IMDb board and by the 6th episode, all the theories leading to the answers exposed in the finale had been published by people who had no spoilers but a keen sense of observation and the simple power of discussion.
When the first reveal came out, it was cheap and disappointing. I nearly stopped watching, stayed for two more episodes and gave up. I never saw the finale but know from reviews that all the expectations came true at last and, worst of all, they were very unoriginal and unconvincing. It made for bigger twists for fools, bigger disappointments for the critically minded.
Welcome! I love spoilers myself. To me, the show is still good even if I'm spoiled because I've only read the spoilers and haven't viewed it, which is totally new to me. Besides I started reading this series in 1997, so pretty much the first 4 seasons, and some of the 5th season, were already spoiled. So now I say spoil me rotten ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Yes, but I do more reading on that site instead of posting. It's a more restrictive forum, but also has less trolls. Life is a series of give and take.

I'd love to see the bitch on her knees. I doubt it's legit, though. Not in character.

Read at your own risk.... enjoy. Btw as I've followed up with WIC page all reports of cast filming at certain locations seem to back this info up.

May spoilers lead to better writing.

I don't want her to die. Cersei needs a daughter to adopt.
