Was it just because you could have them guards your harem without banging them? I wonder if it removed the sexual drive all together and so they were thought more focused or if it just meant they couldn't fulfill those desires. Its been a while since my biology lessons but it should reduce if not halt the creating of testosteron and so reduce the biological urge. Doesnt stop you from knowing everyone else gets some and wanting it aswell tho. | ||

That scene with him and Illyrio always confused me to no end. I think it has to do w/ his comment to Ned Stark that he wants to serve the realm. This is just speculation, but I think he might believe that the only way to have a stable ruling line is for the Targaryen's to rule, because there is too much bad blood between and among the great houses. If any other house holds the throne, their enemies will scheme endlessly to take it from them leading inevitably to more warfare. | ||

There can only be peace by putting a targaryen with dragons on the iron throne, as a dragon has sort of a similar effect as a nuclear bomb in this day and age. No one would dare attack someone with fully grown dragons and therefore the realm would be in peace as long as the ruler has more power than everyone else combined. i think varys has good intentions by invading westeros with dothraki. | ||

There is still the problem of the eventual Dothraki rampage. The lesser evil, I guess. | ||

Except that he was scheming with Illyrio long before Daenerys had dragons, unless you think Varys/Illyrio knew they would hatch when they gave them to her. Seems far fetched since the entire world seems to think they are extinct. And he'll have to think of something else now, because she no longer has a Dothraki army with which to invade Westeros. | ||

I don't understand why he would do that even with the king requesting it. Well, it was a collective decision of the small council...I think at least. I re-watched that particular scene last night, but I wasn't paying too much attention. | ||

I don't understand why he would do that even with the king requesting it. If you remember closely, in that scene a child tells Jorah that the Spider gives him thanks and a full pardon. Immediately he knows something is up and stops the assassination attempt. If Varys actually wanted her dead, he would have waited until after the deed was done to present Jorah with his pardon. By doing it the way he did, he warned Jorah of what was about to happen and I guess hoped that he would stop it. Varys doesn't seem the sort to pin his plans on "hope" so maybe he had some inside information of his own that indicated Ser Jorah was becoming invested in Daenerys. But openly rebelling against the small council and Robert, trying to get them to reconsider, would have seemed awfully suspicious I think. Especially with how vehement Robert was about it. | ||

And, they only got the info that Dany was alive through Jorah right? Who did Jorah tell? If he told Varys, then maybe they had this whole thing arranged? Varys would present the opportunity to assassinate Dany, but he and Jorah would make sure it wouldn't work. | ||

Maybe, my take was that he was meeting with that guy on locating her so he could have her killed and finding what she was up to, and they were using Jorah to track her with a pardon as his reward. I doubt he was hoping for her return, he pushed toi hard to get her killed and doesn't want to retract it when Ned tells him to call it off when Robert dies. | ||
