RobertHOST
They all come together in this story.
RobertHOST
Daenerys saw this already with the case of the Pale Mare in Meereen, a bloody flux during a time of war and famine resulting in mass death, just like the biblical Four Horsemen.
RobertHOST
What's facing Westeros appears to be quite similar and perhaps worse.
RobertHOST
Greyscale does seem more dangerous than the bloody flux and winter is coming, a time when people huddle close by the fire, which is not the wisest idea when there is a deadly plague running rampant.
TuckGUEST
The Battle of the Bastards hasn't even happened in the books.
TuckGUEST
The fifth book ends basically at the point of Jon Snow being stabbed up by the Night's Watch, right, for the Watch, and Daenerys being taken from Meereen, I think is where she was, by Drogon, her big dragon that was wild.
TuckGUEST
He took her to the Dothraki Sea, and she got taken in front of the Doshkalim.
TuckGUEST
and judged, and that's when she burned everything down and left.
speaker_2HOST
Oh, especially there.
speaker_2HOST
The seeds of her potential for tyranny are actively germinating throughout her entire time in Meereen.
speaker_2HOST
The books spend hundreds of pages literally detailing the sheer administrative nightmare of ruling a conquered city.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
Daenerys TargaryenVOICE_ACTOR
Even if I did wish to claim the throne now, I am in no position to march.
Daenerys TargaryenVOICE_ACTOR
Meereen is mine, but the city is newly captured.
Daenerys TargaryenVOICE_ACTOR
It must be brought to order, and that is not even mentioning Yunkai.
Daenerys TargaryenVOICE_ACTOR
My sources tell me they are trying to gather troops.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The city is lost.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Its streets drown in fire and blood, as the Yunkish people stormed the walls and placed its freedmen back into chains.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Harrian makes a bold suggestion that Meereen cannot be held, and that Daenerys should simply leave it behind.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Perhaps she can come to an accommodation with the Yunkish, who are likely eager to leave.
speaker_3VOICE_ACTOR
I couldn't fight for something like slavery even if it meant fighting against the Targaryens.
speaker_3VOICE_ACTOR
So instead I sailed by forces to Meereen and helped Daenerys.
speaker_4VOICE_ACTOR
Then together we managed to beat back the slaver armies and free Dragon's Berry.
speaker_4VOICE_ACTOR
In exchange for that hope, I agreed to send my forces here and reinforce the Seven Kingdoms from these...
QuinnHOST
Some people say that it's a little bit boring.
QuinnHOST
She spends a little bit too much time in Meereen.
QuinnHOST
But I felt like it was necessary to like show Daenerys that like ruling is not necessarily an easy thing.
QuinnHOST
And also I enjoy that scene where she's like out in the desert and she's like hearing the whispers from the stars at the end of Dance with Dragons.
QuinnHOST
They were my favorite characters.
GrayGUEST
The only issue that I had with Dance of Dragons with some of Daenerys' chapters was I start to kind of think that the bittersweet ending was going to be Daenerys never going to Westeros.
GrayGUEST
I thought she was going to literally stay in Meereen and that was going to be the bittersweet ending with her being happy to rule Meereen.
GrayGUEST
That would suck.
NavHOST
yeah.
NavHOST
Okay, speaking of Meereen, we have Victarion and Makoro.
NavHOST
Makoro, by the way, so in my adventures in the appendix,
HarmatHOST
I learned
HarmatHOST
yeah
NavHOST
uh speaking of Barristan next I have Barristan his Dar Missandei Marine in general um
HarmatHOST
I think Meereen survives.
HarmatHOST
Hisdar is imprisoned.
A.Ron HubbardHOST
But we do know that Drogon got to be about a 20-foot wingspan in a year and a half, uh, 'cause Dany tells us that.
A.Ron HubbardHOST
And then six months later, she's able to, just like she did in the show, Drogon comes and fucks shit up in the slave pits of Meereen, [laughs] and she climbs on his back and they, uh, they alight.
A.Ron HubbardHOST
So within two years it was strong enough to bear a full-grown woman, you know? So that is a, an indicator.
A.Ron HubbardHOST
The other thing that muddies the water is that these dragons are just exclusively beasts of war.
KamaPANELIST
I mean, there's a lot going on here too.
ChickyHOST
Yeah, I don't know if it's just that she's convinced that Hizdar will, well, she is convinced that he will solve all of her Meereen problems, and even though the hints are definitely there that he won't solve all of her Meereen problems, I don't know.
ChickyHOST
I don't know what she's thinking.
ChickyHOST
I mean, like, when I do know what she's thinking, she's sick of this mess, and she's just looking for anything that will give her an out.
ClothoHOST
my goodness.
ClothoHOST
So Dario's letting some insults fly at this point.
ClothoHOST
And Skahaz points out that Meereen needs a king of Ghaskari blood.
ClothoHOST
There's no way this would work.
RonnieHOST
How fun.
RonnieHOST
Meereen has fallen to Daenerys Targaryen, a young woman who, at the start of this, had nothing, and now has an army and a giant city, and it's crazy.
RonnieHOST
Um, but she's ruminating on the loneliness of gods, because she feels like a god at the very top of this pyramid looking down over everyone, and she's alone, and she's thinking about, you know, religious things.
RonnieHOST
But then, uh, Missandei comes in and is like, hey, I'm Missandei, you wanna talk about Noth a little bit? We learned some fun facts about Noth.
RonnieHOST
They can.
RonnieHOST
No children, though.
RonnieHOST
And then someone mentions that typically in Meereen, the central royalty or whatever, they get a tenth of the amount paid for them.
RonnieHOST
So they're like, why don't we collect that, and then we'll also have some revenue coming in for a little bit.
