OK, bear with me here - I know I'm out there.
Edmure, the guy who couldn't shoot an arrow to light catlyns father's funeral pyre, took a mill and cost robb stark a chance to kill the mountain, married a frey at the red wedding and was their captive for years until the blackfish retook river run and then he walked in the gates, told everyone to lay down their swords and cost them everything.
Dragons are intelligent. I took it drogon understood the pursuit of power killed his mother, and if Jon hadn't of done it someone some where else would have. so he destroyed the symbol of power. His message to the world, and maybe a bit saying dragons aren't getting tied up in this game any more.
I guess I never took it as a magic/NK thing, more of a cycle they went through in the past and now.OK, bear with me here - I know I'm out there.
But, the King going North - who is one with the Land & now free, may bring Spring with him
Bran on the Throne, will still keep the cycle flowing on the larger scale.
I always read the unexplained/lack of science to the season as a red flag that this was all magical in its source.I guess I never took it as a magic/NK thing, more of a cycle they went through in the past and now.OK, bear with me here - I know I'm out there.

I don’t know about Sansa. Feel like they really cranked the corset in for the coronation. Big fan.
Not really, there is a long history in fiction of the intelligent dragon. Starting with the best known, Smaug the golden.
I could very well be wrong. Seems like Winterfell/maesters knew what was coming, but didn't know about the NK, so I took it as something that hasn't happened in years and years, but was still cyclical.
On this show?
Yeah, they knew it was coming from observation - not from a theory of prediction or understanding.
yes there has been more than one scene where dragon intelligence is speculated on. it may not be exactly human in its nature but it is definitely there.
Best example recently was the pause before frying Varys.
Far cry from realizing the symbolic nature if the IT and burning that.
If it's just me, I am probably going to watch the first 4 seasons and stop.
The shooting down of democracy was soooo heavy handed. The show spent a a lot of time exposing the traditional model of society based on nobility and family allegiances as dangerous but it was even harsher in the way it showed the type of person who might want to overthrow it all.
