Yes, no one has seen dragons in centuries, so why would no one say anything? It's like me seeing a T-rex and thinking, oh that's mildly unusual. I'll just carry on with my day now. Suspicious of what? Sorry I'm not following. Are you saying that they are suspicious of her and this is making them not say anything? I think that's pretty stupid... you don't have to approach her rudely. But you could just ask why she has a baby fucking dragon? Unless some one explains this to me better or shows that I've clearly missed something this is striking me as a gaping hole in the story that hasn't really been thought out that well. Most of the khal left shortly before Drogo died. Those that remain are too weak and feeble to flee or are loyal to her. Dragons are probably pretty awe-inspiring for a somewhat primitive culture like the Dothraki (or any civilized culture for that matter). They also respect power, so the fact that she hatched three extinct killing machines is probably intriguing. As for everyone else, they either don't know about her dragons yet, or won't believe what they're being told. This would be like somebody telling you that their friend saw a T-rex, would you believe it? Her people knew that she was "blood of the dragon" and that she was carrying three dragon eggs. I don't think anyone expected them to hatch, but it can hardly be called suspicious. | ||

Can't wait to see how the Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons will react when they find out about the dragons The Starks probably won't care (too much), Stannis will put up a front of he doesn't care but he will very much, Lannisters will freak out except for Tyrion he'll probably see it as an opportunity... | ||

The last time someone had a dragon they conquered the entirety of Westeros and ruled it for generations. Im pretty sure all of em will throw a tantrum and shit themselves if they show up on there shores. Dany still needs an army if she wants to invade Westeros, 3 dragons and her bloodriders can't cover the whole continent. | ||

And it should take a few years or maybe decades until the dragons are of an age to be an actual threat. (dunno how fast they grow) Tbh I am less interested in the Danerys stuff than everything else (Lannisters at Kings landing, clash of kings, beyond the wall etc). | ||

That's a good question, following that line of thought you should ask yourself what happened to the dragons that were? They've been gone for hundreds of years , what could of killed them off? /intrigue | ||

They're too small, though. As stated in the show it will be several years before they can defend themselves, let alone Danerys. | ||

As you can tell I'm not following it that closely. Missed a few episodes, alt + tab while watching. I honestly couldn't name half the characters. Besides I think in the grand scheme of things, the actual dragons presence is far greater than the fact she was carrying the eggs or as I mistakenly thought gave birth to them. Fair enough then. | ||

Did they ever explain why Dragons would obey Danerys? There is a reason why the largest predators humans have domesticated were dogs... | ||

The dragons are nice but they aren't the main reason her people are so attached to her. She gave her speech that she would make those who harm them scream as they burned. She walked into a raging funeral pyre and came out unscathed. That alone would make for a compelling reason to follow this woman. The way they kneel, she might as well be a god to them, and the dragons their angels. I haven't read the books to get a true insight to how exactly they view her but I can only imagine it is this type of religious fervor that keeps them tied to her. Also, not to mention that she is not from their "country". They don't really know how things work in the other side of the narrow sea. And her brother told them tales about how he was the last dragon, how their house was all about dragons and bla bla bla. To them shes just special in a lot of ways. And most of those people don't have elsewhere do go anyway, so better stick with the girl with amazing creatures. | ||
