This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones.



While you wait for new episodes of Game of Thrones to air, the only logical thing to do is watch old episodes of Game of Thrones in search of clues about what might happen in the future. This has already proved fruitful when it comes to Sansa and Arya, but now it's time to consider Daenerys. Daenerys has had a rough time lately between losing Yara Greyjoy and Ellaria Sand to Euron, then taking Casterly Rock only to find out that the real Lannister army had marched on Highgarden and killed Olenna Tyrell. If she has any hope of besting Cersei in the battle for the Iron Throne, then something needs to give ASAP.

One Redditor, however, wants you to remember what Robert Baratheon had to say about the Targaryens back in season one, when Viserys was the one coming for the Iron Throne and all he had to work with was the Dothraki horde. Robert said this about a potential attack:

Let's say Viserys Targaryen lands with 40,000 Dothraki screamers at his back. We hole up in our castles. A wise move. Only a fool would meet the Dothraki in an open field. They leave us in our castles. They go from town to town, looting and burning, killing every man who can't hide behind a stone wall, stealing all our crops and livestock, enslaving all our women and children. How long do the people of the Seven Kingdoms stand behind their absentee king, their cowardly king hiding behind high walls? When do the people decide that Viserys Targaryen is the rightful monarch after all?

Cersei replied by saying that they would still outnumber the Targaryen forces, but Robert disagreed. In this situation, he said, five wouldn't be greater than one, because that one would be united rather than divided (as the other kings warring for the throne were).

One army, a real army, united behind one leader with one purpose. Our purpose died with the Mad King.

And you know who still has a Dothraki horde, one that's in fact bigger than the one Khal Drogo had? Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, and so on and so on. Things are bad, yes, but they're not over — she could still come out on top with just the Dothraki. And her dragons. It definitely helps that she has dragons.
