Bran may be merciful but don't think Dany will be. After all this is the man that betrayed and killed her uncle The Mad King. I think Jaime is doomed. His only saving grace could be Tyrion. Executing Jaime might be the last straw for Tyrion and he could turn on Dany and side with North.
(If they defeat NK i do think there'll be conflict between North and Dany. Jon has a decision to make).
not uncle. her
father.
and it won't make any lick of difference to Dany about why he did what he did
Especially since the Varys, Tyrion and Davos conversation even said that things don't last forever. It would be a temporary solution at best, and it's hard to leave the show off in a state where it feels it would fall apart shortly after.
exactly.
I think in the next episode (or two). Jon's just going to see how "Conquer-esque" Dany is vs. Queen. she expects everyone to just accept her claim that She is Queen (because of the Last Targ), and if they don't, she just wipes them off the planet. Before it was "okay" because it was Qarth (who murdered her family/stole her dragons, so it was revenge) and she was just freeing slaves, so of course she's burning up slave masters. But now she's in a country (and a
region), where her family did a lot of damage to people here. A people who want independence above anything because they are tired of the Southerner crap. A people that Jon flat out told her, that she's got to get to them them, and she's got to have them trust her. and Dany is literally walking around like "I'm your queen, deal with it....."
because if you don't, look, see my dragons.....
I think she's more of a 'nicer' side of Cersei. - Cersei gives zero craps about anything but the throne. so yah she's queen, but she cares nothing about her people, or whatever. Dany is more of .... "Oh i care, but you have to do everything I say and follow my world order."
Where as Jon will do anything to save people even if others don't care.
save freefolk even though crows hate them - don't care, it's the right thing to do.
show mercy even if royalty says no - don't care it's the right thing to do
give up the north's independence if it means they'll live - don't even blink, it's the obvious thing to do.
and I feel that's what Sam was driving at it's not even the crown. it's
anything. Whenever Dany is faced about giving up her power to save anything she finds a loophole to gain her power back, so she's never really sacrificing anything Jon literally lost his life because he did what was right.
really intrigued how this will end up.
