I agree with your points.

Daenerys is being set up to do something bad...betray Jon, wipe out Kings Landing, I don’t know. Just when things seem to be going in the right direction, she has the unfortunate conversation with Sansa about the future of the North followed by an (expectedly) negative reaction to her Boy Toy being her nephew AND him having a better claim to the throne than her.

We might really not like the Mother of Dragons before this is all over.

I think Dani will die giving birth to Jon’s son.

I thought I posted this before, but perhaps I didn’t...

Dani’s character has been being revealed as more and more cunning and ruthless...

While the start of the story largely showed her as a reluctant ruler, and much of her altruistic actions benefits to her directly as almost a byproduct not a calculated move (the freeing of the slaves etc)... it is becoming more and more clear, those actions were probably not purely altruistic, but served her ends.

It is hard to believe the Dani of seasons ago who freed slaves, and crucified the traders would do so if given that decision today...

While her motivations may have been more “pure” at one point, its becoming more and more clear, that she’s looking out for number one more than anything else..... She may turn out to be more like Cersei than anyone wants to admit to. In fact, a whole cliche we are the same monologue on eventual confrontation between these two wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

But yes, I fully expect Dani to lose any shred left of the facade of decency before this is done.

I have been wondering about her for, I dunno, about 3 seasons. I believe I have come to the conclusion that she is not going to sit on the Iron Throne.

One of the reasons that I have thought this recently, is that everyone is always saying, "she is not her father" or "she is not like her father, the Mad King". After hearing this so many times from various characters, I am wondering who they are trying to convince. Me (or whoever they are speaking to in the scene); or, themselves.

I have been seriously worried about Sansa since Daenerys' arrival. Sansa does not seem to be willing to "take the knee" to her; and, we know what happened to the Tarleys when they refused.
