You refuted that notion, and I think you were wrong to exclude the possibility. It's not important to distinguish between the two (in the context of the scene), but a possible distinction does exist. Discussing the implications of the distinction may be too pedantic, but that doesn't mean that we should explicitely argue that no distinction exists. | |

| Aug 24, 2017 at 16:11 | comment | added | Flater | @MichaelBorgwardt: Even if Jorah was dismissing Vyserys' arrogant claim of being a dragon, that does not contradict the fact that Jorah also seemingly dismisses Dany as a dragon by calling Rhaegar the last dragon. If he means "the final dragon", then he is outright dismissing Dany's present and future. If he means "the most recent dragon", then Jorah is only dismissing Dany's present (she was meek then, not at al like a dragon), but not necessarily her future. | |

There is an earlier scene when Viserys calls himself "the last dragon", and the conversation between Dany and Ser Jorah starts with a reference to Viserys' threatening that Dany is "waking the dragon" when she makes him angry. It is this notion that Ser Jorah dismisses. | |
