Game Of Thrones Season 7: 6 Signs A Dragon Will Die Very Soon

4. Dany's Impulsiveness

There's a reason why Tyrion's advice to Dany has been so provocatively poor recently (well two actually, but more on that soon): he has to make it very clear to Dany that being sensible is not the right idea. No matter how clever his strategies have looked on paper - and they would have worked in other circumstances - everything that Tyrion tries and fails to do is another strike against that sort of level-headedness.

That of course also means that it's a step closer to Dany going with the more passionate approach - being "the dragon" Olenna Tyrell urged her to be. But the one thing Tyrion has got right so far is telling Dany that flying in gung-ho on her dragons is dangerous, not only for her but for the dragons.

We're heading directly towards a morality tale whereby Dany learns the toughest lesson - that she should have paid attention to Tyrion. She is trying to play a non-traditional game in her own terms, even with a ringing warning, and she needs a reminder that you abuse the Game to your own peril.
