I do notice them and their connections, but I think it's just a cheap way of making viewers 'feel intelligent' by referring back to things for the sake of nostalgia. It's sort of 'faux cleverness'.
Really, what was the point in bringing back the bread guy. That was so pointless. It's not like we needed reminding that Arya has changed / come a long way.
Likewise if Arya's wolf doesn't come back that would have been REALLY pointless so I'm keeping fingers crossed we haven't seen the end of that.
Blood magic used to survive Drogo's pyre was completely different, nothing to do with her family line.Dany is fireproof in the books. Her hair and clothes aren't, she came out of Drogo's pyre naked and bald but otherwise unburned.
Yup was about to post the same. It's a one off event but the shows just gone screw it she's fireproof.Blood magic to survive Drogo pyre was completely different, nothing to do with her family line.
GMM has stated categorically that Targs aren't fireproof
Yep it seems like another area where the books and TV show are differentYup was about to post the same. It's a one off event but the shows just gone screw it she's fireproof.

Making her fireproof in the show also screws continuity, because if the family somehow were made of asbestos then why did Jon burn his hand/arm in S1 saving Mormont from the wights.

Howland Reed knows as he was present at the tower of JoyWho actually knows Jons heritage, Bran?
It's speculative but even so the point really was that it's not her genetics that make her that way and even in the show it's been shown to not be a family trait.It's kind of a one off; GRRM was quoted as saying it was never the case that all Targaryens are immune to all fire at all times and seemed to suggest the funeral pyre was a one-off. However he then muddied the waters a bit. In the books that pyre scene involves her hair as well as clothes burning off which is worth remembering because much later, when Drogon flies into the fighting pit and starts eating people, she gets close enough to his flames that her hair gets burnt off again. It’s not stated outright that Drogon engulfs her in flames, but even if she wasn't, if she's close enough for her hair to burn away her skin would take at least some damage... but the next time we get a Daenerys chapter, she’s fine, just missing her hair again, no burns. So it might be a Danny/dragon thing not a Targ thing in general.
Good shout. She's going to give up her life for someone, it may as well be Jaime.given the fire witch is at Dany's home, what's the chances of Jamie being drowned, but her bringing him back when Tyrion et al bring the body back?

Episode 3. She's deliberately hiding from him.I forgot millisandre was at dragonstone. How has John snow not met her there yet

I didn't think 'chaos is a ladder' was particularly clever, more "oooo do you remember this?! Oooooo!" - meh.
