Well, I'm sorry for being so ugly too.
Good points. We'll see what happens. I do like the Danyeris and if she ends up being the queen so be it. Hollywood just seems on a push recently against certain things and more for others but probably not fair for me to interject that here.
Maybe she and John won't end up being related and they can get married, who knows. King and queen maybe? Well maybe not but who knows where it goes from here.
One of two things has to happen. Dany keeps talking about breaking the wheel and freeing people. How succession was going to be chosen after she is queen was brought up this episode, since she is physically unable to have children. Both of these facts point to either Dany appointing a more democratic form of government or having to appoint a direct successor.
In contrast, John actually has the best claim to the throne. Rhaegar was actually married to Liana at the time of his birth, and as Thaegar's son his claim supersedes Dany's.
Also they appear to be getting romantic...Targaryeons are notorious for marrying other Tragaryeons so while marrying his aunt would be icky it would fit with the whole Tragaryeon dynasty thing. Although the whole Dany not being able to have kids still throws a wrinkle into the whole succession thing, which would still open up the window to bringing in a democratic succession. Tyrion was already alluding to the fact that changing society in Westeros was going to be a process that took more than Dany's lifetime. So Dany and John marrying, not having kids, and passing rule on to a council would make sense and fit with the foreshadowing.
