It seems like Glen is convinced that Emilia Clarke 's Dany isn't headed to the dark side, but he doesn't have much compelling evidence for that theory aside from a gut instinct (unless he knows something he isn't telling us). He was also quick to point out that only showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff know for sure whether Dany really will turn out to be the "Mad Queen" and follow in the footsteps of her father, King Aerys Targaryen, with whom she already shares an affinity for burning people alive (though, in her defense, the people she fries are terrible people who deserve to die).
