It's not like they needed to tease me as I was already 100% sold, but I still enjoyed that.

Question:  what happens when you burn a Targaryen?
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Bayraktar!

Question:  what happens when you burn a Targaryen?
Judging by the example of Aegon V Targaryen:  Nothing special.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

I'm not sure we know that.  We also don't know that Jon is dead-dead, but don't they burn their dead at the Wall?

We do know that Viserys melted into a pile of goo.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Siege

GRRM is so random when it comes to the Targaryens.


"All men are created equal, then some become infantry."

"Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't."

"Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même!"


Siege

Basicly crazy Targaryens burn, gifted Targaryens have superpowers.

The only reason Daenarys lived is because of the dragons.  To my knowledge, none have had a comparable incident happen.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

or maybe Daenerys is a bastard child.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Who do you think fathered the child, if not The Mad King?

I don't think there is any evidence of Daenarys being a bastard.

Rhaegar. He had sex with his own mother thus being the father of she and Viserys. I bet you didn't see that one coming.

Oh wait that doesn't work. Rhaegar is the Mad King's son so...

Gold-infused goo.

A theory that came to mind for me today- the long night they speak of...... night is basically a shadow. Shadow is fire magic. The long night and the winters are unrelated.  They merely clashed at some point in history as part of a war between ice and fire.
All part of my grand "the others aren't acually so evil" theory.

I don't think being a Targaryen is enough, you probably also need to be linked with a dragon. Hell, being a Targ may not even be necessary.
