What stunned me watching the finale of “Game of Thrones” was that there was at least dignity for Daenerys in having a raging dragon lovingly carry her body into the skies, perhaps to Valhalla. The actress Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys, happens to also be the star of the movie version of my true-crime book “Above Suspicion,” in which she plays a sassy, pretty coal-miner’s daughter named Susan Smith, who was murdered in a fit of passion on a lonely mountain near isolated Pikeville, Kentucky, by an FBI agent with whom she was having an affair.
I was particularly taken with - stunned, I would say - the thundering, violent scene in which the beautiful regal character Daenerys Targaryen, “Mother of Dragons,” is stabbed to death and her body is carried away by a fire-spewing, shrieking flying dragon. The second time was the much-publicized finale of the monumentally popular TV fantasy series in May of 2019. Author’s note: I watched “Game of Thrones” only twice, the first time in 2016, just a few days before I was headed to Kentucky as a consultant where the movie adaptation of my book was being filmed.
