Our fourth ‘Targaryen Checkpoint’ is an endless barrage of beautiful and tragic omens. We discuss these eulogies of decay as heralds of what’s to come – for Ned, for King’s Landing, for Winterfell, and for Dany herself. Then we take a closer look at all these Targaryen naming conventions: we’ve got “the dragon”, “the true dragon”, “the blood of the dragon”. What does it all mean? (Spoiler: this whole plotline is a cautionary tale about the entitled evils of monarchy). We close with a discussion of Dany’s defiant and doomed idealism.
