Game of Thrones Season 5: 10 Most Shocking Moments So Far
2. How To Train Your Dragons
The Sons of the Harpy made a statement of intent by ambushing the Unsullied, so inevitably Daenerys needed to make a statement of her own in return. And if you need to assert yourself, having a couple of irritable dragons at your disposal is something of a trump card.
Her decision to round up the heads of Mereen’s major families and bring them down to her dragons’ den was at best risky, at worst a bluff with the potential to backfire horribly, but in the end it all went rather swimmingly. Unless you’re one of the said heads of family.
In the end, Rhaegal and Viserion responded in perfect fashion, the Double Dragon team working in perfect tandem like a 1980s beat ‘em up to torch, tear apart and devour the guy who drew the short straw.
Hizdahr zo Loraq, who’s been hanging around Khaleesi like a junior Jorah Mormont, somehow kept his cool in the face of impending death by fire squad and was duly rewarded when Daenerys later visited him in his cell to casually inform she would reopen the fighting pits and that they were getting married. Because some guys get all the luck.
