    She was able to enter the bath that was extremely hot unharmed. She picked up the Dragon Egg and her hands were unburnt while the slave girls were. She was unburned by her Dragons' fire when they were captured. Pretty sure those were indications that she was invulnerable to heat.

    I like your choice of words... Invulnerable rather immune.
    I provided a quote from GRRM saying how the Targs aren't immune to fire but you know let's not comment on that.

    Keep in mind that Martin writes the books, not the TV show.

    I would say modern day Daenerys could easily join the Justice League.

    Not really defending it. Just saying its par for the course in regards to how the show has been run.

    It's not the "best" coup or plot line... But it's also not that far off of how they've run the show to this point.

    I'm sure all the previous coups made more sense to book readers. For the majority of the public, there was increased shock value in making it more unexpected and out of nowhere.

    It just sounds fairly nit picky, which I fully expect from all book readers now that there are no longer any books to go by.

    Got it. She's immune to fire in the show but not in the books.
    In your scenario, rule out John as a "real dragon" then as he got burned in S1. R+L=J could still be true.

    I definitely think the show has been that way to this point (though they could always change it, as only the hot bath didn't involve the Dragons).

    I agree with you on what that would mean for Jon.

    this show should be above the "this guy is about to get killed, then somebody comes from behind and saves him and kills the other guy just in the nick of time" gimmick.

    Dorne was just terribly handled all around.

    But nothing frustrates me more than the religious cult plot in King's Landing.

    Can't remember if people were b****ing when that Craster punching bag knifed Karl just when Karl was about to finish off Jon Snow.

    Just as well, this show is about character development and its getting sloppier since the show is getting ahead of the books and has less and less background development to rely on. I compare it to when Larry David left Seinfeld and the rest of the shows became more cliche sitcom narratives.

    Yeah, you are the king of Westeros and you let a group of religious nuts do that to your wife and mother? You have an army

    Kings Landing is modeled after medieval England. If you payed attention in history class, you would know the Church was extremely powerful. God ordained the King. This is where the term "For God, King and Country" comes from. So no, the army is little use if they fear attacking the Church.

    That, and Tommen is a little b****. Joffrey would have taken care of the swine by now.

    Yeah but the Pope, head of Church was still residing in the Vatican, Rome.

    But it's not really. It was lazy writing. They rushed the assassination to move the plot. I'm not a book reader, and all the examples you cited had organic story-telling elements from the scenes, so it's not like you say at all.

    There's a large sentiment among viewers that the Dorne plotline was the weakest part of the premiere. I guess we'll have just to agree to disagree.

    Except for the fact that the sparrows were powerless until Cersei gave them power. A bit different
