    are you trying to bring logic to the premise of fire-resistant human being

    Also, we flat out cannot trust that old bag. He is going to lie through his teeth to keep fans from guessing forthcoming plots if he's asked about them.

    Logically!

    And yeah, it's part of why I feel the TV series is better than the books, despite the books having a lot of really interesting extra stuff. At least the differences encourage me to both watch and read.

    Well. Apart from Dorne.

    Also, lol @ this from GRR Martin...

    Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons?

    George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.

    Revanshe: So she won't be able to do it again?

    George_RR_Martin: Probably not.


    I know he only says "probably" but it does show that he did not seem to intend on her being able to do that again, and can't offer the same excuse this time (unless there were dragon eggs around that I couldn't see).
    That quote is older than the song you got the gif from. Things change.

    we all know the fixation that you have on hair that does not belong to you but I think that using that particular reference for what makes the tv show better than the books is a bit of a stretch

    I'm not sure what surprised me more, that Oops I Did It Again wasn't older or that the quote wasn't more recent.

    I feel like Martin wouldn't write that storyline anyway since it's pretty much what happened in Season 1, just on a larger scale and without dragons.

    Dany is really working to get maximum mileage from what is a very niche superpower. Good thing the Dothraki are easily impressed by someone being impervious to flames. Anywho, as to why they didn't attack her, it seemed like they were too intent on escaping the flames. Because the floor was covered in straw and the building was made of wood, the flames spread VERY quickly. None of them had anything to put the fire out, so even if they'd killed Dany it wouldn't have stopped the fire. She just took a chance that they'd focus exclusively on trying to escape. Once the fire had really gotten going, she could have just stepped back into the flames to keep away from them if they'd tried to attack her.

    That fire did spread pretty fast. I was assuming that some time before the meeting Dany or her boys spread oil around the floor of the place to make it happen.

    That, and no weapons are allowed. They'd have to use their fists to do any real damage to Dany and that would take time they could have spent escaping.

    Though honestly, they deserved it. Who puts flaming braziers in a wooden, flammable construction. Even the floor was flammable. Granted, the door would normally be open, but still.

    I'm sure the braziers had oil in them too to keep them going. SO SPLASH oil everywhere probably helped.

    You would have thought if the fire spread that quickly though the walls would have a weak point someplace for them to try and escape out of. They only tried the door. Why not start slamming walls that were on fire? Sure you would get burnt but it might have saved your life.
