As for nettles, I thought she was a Targaryen bastard. I could be wrong though. TBH, I was basing my opinion on the dragons liking brown Ben plumm in the books. I hadn't gone that far back for research. Regardless, I didn't like Tyrion freeing the dragons. Tyrion mans up when needed, but that just struck me as foolish.
first, we can only assume Ben Plumm is a Targ if you trust Ben Plumm. Ben's mom was Dothraki, and his mom's mom was from further east. his dad we dont know about, but Ben claims to be a lot of things "Ben says he is part Braavosi, Summer Islander, Ibbenese, Qohorik, Dornish, Dothraki, and Westerosi. He claims to have a drop of Targaryen blood"

Nettles was only 16 when the Dance of the Dragons started, and while some claimed to have old ancient Targ blood, it seems much more likely they'd say anything they needed to have a chance to tame a dragon if thats what they wanted. but at only 16, i feel like they'd know whose bastard she was if she was from Aegon's line (granted she could be a bastard Targ from hundreds or years ago, but that would fall into the "well technically anything is possible" realm. she had brown skin, black hair, and black eyes. almost the complete opposite of Targ features.

as for Tyrion, it was foolish. they acknowledge that with the comment Tyrion makes to Varys about punching Tyrion in the face. but either way, i hear you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

seems they are really just rushing through certain "check points" as fast as possible to just move the story along.
