She isn't impervious to fire in the books? Lol. That's a pretty big change.
Dying the eyebrows would probably just make her look more silly. The ultra blonde look is hard to pull off when it isn't natural. Same problem with Cersei. Compare them to Jaime who is a natural.
The first time with the Dragon Eggs, is a magic thing.. also complicated too.
You're going to be interested to know that all 3 characters you mentioned end up bald. Danny via fire, Cerseri via the fayth shaming (they don't just give her a swag hair cut) and Jamie via choice when Brieene is bringing him to King's Landing (season 3 circa) so people wouldn't recognize him.

I don't think anyone can argue though that a Great Britain/UK team wouldn't be alot stronger. It'll never happen.

Fun fact... Danny was one of the few main actors/actresses that supposedly read the books. She supposedly had notes written through the books for future reference. Bet she wondered why she was naked half the time she was on screen in the earlier seasons. Bad idea, the writers don't like the cast reading the books.
Also it's just silly that they never had her dye her eye brows and always had her look like she came from a Salon in scenes where they in the desert. The hair straighteners/gel is silly.
The whole being immune to fire in the show and never exploring that she's a terrible ruler. Keep trying to make her look like a messiah. They backwashed Stannis, but they white washed Danny/Tyrion so the casual audience wouldn't be confused...

I've got to be honest, I actually supported England in previous tournaments until 2010 when the press tried to claim an English manager would have done better than Capello.
Northern Ireland matches weren't always shown on TV when I was growing up, it was always England. Today though, I'm definitely cheering on Bale.
Wales are through anyway, considering the 3rd place nonsense. It's just a question of who they face.
I'd be impressed though if England managed to lose 2 games in a row here (not likely), that's the only way they wouldn't get through too... baring UEFA kicking rioting fans out post Brexit.

Preston is a little wacky, but I do find his review videos amusing even if the new format is a bit too much.
There's zero evidence whatsoever for Tyrion being a Targ in the story. It also cheapens his story arc/relationship with Tywinn. People are still clinging to the idea that 3 people are going ride dragons side by side into battle,
I can see why people cling to the Cerseri/Jamie theory, but that too just means too many characters with secret parents. I don't feel that twist is really necessary to the story.
Personally (and this is just my opinion) I'd like to see the story end with another battle of the trident. Danny marching north against Jon (after The Others arc. has been resolved) with the POV characters that are still standing split up between both sides. I just don't think a scenario were everyone teams up at the end to stand against The Others is really a satisfying ending or Danny dying in childbirth.

More violence today.
If this was Albania and Iceland we were talking about, both countries would already have been booted.
Russia can't get away with this. With a World Cup looming in 2 years... this is a mess.

It's specifically mentioned by the same character that it was the only time Aerys should have listened to Varys. It's suggested Varys was the one who fed into Aerys madness.
Varys probably already knew Aerys was fucked at that point.
"The glass candles are burning. Soon comes the pale mare, and after her the others. Kraken and dark flame, lion and griffin, the sun's son and the mummer's dragon. Trust none of them. Remember the Undying. Beware the perfumed seneschal."
Aegon is definitely the mummer's dragon. He likely is a Blackfyre, but the only question I have is whether he's aware of it himself or not.
Either way, Varys isn't on Danny's side in the books and I don't think either Euron's big play or The Others factor into it. That said I don't view Danny as a "hero" in the books.
Littlefinger is definitely more intriguing though, but alot smarter in the books (ignoring the exposition speech to Sansa on the boat in the 3rd book which is Basically George RR letting readers know what's actually been going on).

Great play by Bob Geldof, for the spectacle anyway.
Worth pointing out that Farage himself isn't exactly poor.
