Jon showed remorse for executing Olly (who presumably received some sort of trial, given that they make a huge deal about the people Dany executes not receiving a trial). Why would you possibly assume Olly was give a trial when it wasn't shown on screen and Jon never gave Janos Slynt a trial either. And uh Geneva Conventions aside... SeabassDebeste posted... someone who commits war crimes may commit more war crimes, but it's disingenuous to say that all those crimes are the same that's like saying that since jon executed olly, he has demonstrated the capacity to kill kids, and using that as justification for him slaughtering hordes of kids in king's landing he's half targaryen after all This is obviously the key point. Dany had, up to this point done plenty of bad things including murdering enemies. Something in character for her to have done, with the exact same set up, was to burn all the Lannister army men that had surrendered. That is a stretch compared to what she has done before, but is a natural continuation. Murdering all of the children jumps over several key steps of her character development. It was an active choice she made. Again, if her second dragon dies here after what was supposed to be a truce, then I could see her losing all restraint and just massacring everyone. They had some pieces here, but they did not set it up in the right way. Which, again, is why I am convinced this is the actual ending to the books but they just didn't know quite how to get there. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases?
