Great reaction! :-) I really like how you don't blindly worship your favourite characters, but sometimes rightly question their deeds and motivations. Daenerys definitely went too far imo, at least she could have given the Tarlys a less painful death. Burning to death is the most painful death I can imagine, it was needlessly cruel. Just one correction, if I may: Gendry actually has zero claim to the throne, for at least three reasons: 1. Most importantly, Gendry is a bastard. Bastards used to be seen as inherently bad and impure, and it's very rare that a medieval society would accept a bastard to be king. 2. The (very few) bastards who actually did become kings were raised at the royal court and given a high education, whereas Gendry probably can't even read or write, which is obviously not ideal for a king. (Also, I doubt he's even interested in ruling.) 3. There is actually no proof that Gendry is Robert Baratheon's son. I mean we know it's true, but how would they prove it to the people? Unless the king says he's his son, or someone at court actually witnesses the mother being pregnant and giving birth to him, it's not really possible to prove it, otherwise anyone could claim to be the son of the king. This topic brings me back to episode 2x01 where Joffrey orders the City Watch to kill all of Robert's bastards. This is actually a commonly misunderstood scene: Joffrey doesn't want the bastards dead because he feels threatened by them (because as I said they have no claim to the throne anyway), but to erase any proof about the hair colour / Lannister twincest scandal, since all Baratheon bastards are black of hair.
