"Well, everybody's always going to have an opinion, and that means an ownership. It's like breaking up with somebody. y get upset. I can't speak for everybody, but my feeling is y didn't want it to end, so a lot of people got angry. I feel like what Dave and Dan did was extraordinary. This happens. Monsters are created. And you don't see it coming. We vote m into office. You look or way. So for everybody to get upset because y loved a character so much and y h so much faith in that person  re were signposts all along way for that character," Dinkl said.

He said Daenerys' transformation, from a righteous leer to a powerful autocrat, was "happening all along". "It ded up to something. re are people who've named ir children Khaleesi. You've just got to maybe wait till series finale before you get that tattoo or name your golden retriever Daenerys! I can't help you! I'm sorry. She went m. She was driven to that, and she's a victim as well in terms of how she was treated. She went through it, and she came out angry, as a lot of us do," Dinkl ded.
