To be fair they will largely be useless in westeros as they can't do anything against the castles with no siege skills and their weapons are not designed for armored fighters.
More like cannon fodder then anything right now.
the power to control dragons kills your mother during childbirth? hence Danny, Jon, and Tyrion?
King Aerys was Tyrion's real father. Kinda awesome he used wildfire to repel Stannis' attack. and why the dragon didn't turn Tyrion into a crispy critter in the dungeon.
I'm picturing the 3 of them each riding atop a dragon fighting the white walkers...ehhh seems to corny. I would think Tyrion wouldn't be able to hold on. maybe with a saddle?
I don't understand how they are going to give the Lannisters any sort of fighting chance next season, unless something elsewhere derails Dany and her crew on the way (I guess Theon's uncle with his thousands of ships could interrupt things en route?).
Otherwise it is Dany and her dragons, the Sand Snakes/Dornish, the Tyrells, the Ironmen, and the Dothraki horde, all against a depleted Lannister force with barely any allies since so much of their army before was made up of Tyrells. Seems like a straight up slaughter to me. Maybe Qyburn can revive thousands of dead people to fight for the queen?
I sure hope this means we are done with Esteros; so freaking bored of that place.

Not sure where the speculation is coming about Tryrion not being the son of Tywin...that seems a bit out there. I don't see any reason to take Tywin's "You're no son of mine" as some literal statement of fact. That phrase has only ever been the same cliche'd trope that any father says to his hated freak son in nearly ever piece of fiction.
b4 the big battle between dany and lannisters, white walkers show up.
enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Jamie kills cersai and allies himself w/dany + Jon snow to combat white walkers.
how do u think the white walkers will get past the Wall?
There are a lot of little comments like that. "You're no son of mine", "I will raise you as my son since I can't prove that you're not", etc
There's also Tyrion's connection to the dragons, they took a liking to him and seemed to understand him when he set them free. That could prove that dragons are smarter than we thought, but it could also imply something more.
There are other things which cannot be discussed.
Anyone find it interesting how the women now hold all the power? Dany in her side of the world, the first queen of the iron isles, Cersei in king's landing, scorpion trio in Dorne etc. The new king in the north seems the only exception.
I forgot the second statement. In the shows there really isn't any mention (at least that I don't recall) of where Tywin and his wife were in relation to Tyrion's conception, so I see what you're saying.
The inbreeding of Targaryan's thing, added to the inbreeding of the Lannisters thing lends some argument for Tyrion being "a freak," ....but in reality he should be the "best specimen" of the bunch, being the only out-bred example of either family if this were the case.
Also, since Daesrny's brother also had the white hair and was also inbred, why didn't he display the same asbestos properties of Dasernaserys?

Jon may be a half-brother (half nephew?) of Daesrny, but he isn't an inbred, white-haired Targaryen. He shouldn't be fireproof like Daraernys. He shouldn't be able to control dragons.
"Did they try an fail?"
"No, they tried and died."*

A couple of other things:
Dany's mother died from complications of giving birth. Jon's mother died from complications of giving birth. Tyrion's mother died from complications of giving birth. That could be something, how many other characters have their mothers demise drilled into out heads repeatedly over six seasons?
There's also the way Tywin seems to accept Tyrion's whoring/drinking/insolence. Tywin was ALL about family. Since Jaime was Kingsguard and couldn't inherit, if Tyrion was a true heir who would have gotten Casterly Rock Tywin might have spent more time whipping him into shape.
I don't think these assumptions are going anywhere. After the earlier poster pointed out the Tyrion + Danaesrys + Jon = 3-headed dragon part of the prophecy, their connection ends there.
Jon may be a half-brother (half nephew?) of Daesrny, but he isn't an inbred, white-haired Targaryen. He shouldn't be fireproof like Daraernys. He shouldn't be able to control dragons.
Tywin was also a complete dick. While there may be something to that interpretation, it really isn't any more valid that just going with Tywin hated Tyrion and didn't really care about his boozing, never saw him as a legitimate heir, because he simply hated him for killing his wife...and being a freak. Besides, I recall Tywin already banging into Tyrion's head that he stood to inherit Casterly Rock, anyway, right?
Not all Targaryens were fireproof, and Jon was burned in season 2 (?) when he killed the wight by throwing the lantern at it so we know he's not fireproof.
Maybe it's something in their bloodline, I don't recall a previous dragon rider that wasn't a Targaryen, or maybe it's just something else completely unrelated. Don't have to have a special bond with a horse to ride it, it just needs to be trained/broken.
i didn't think just being targaryean meant you were fireproof. didn't her brother die from melted gold of whatever being poured on his head?
I mean, molten gold isn't exactly "fire"
