[Spoiler Main] I think Ira Parker is a Targaryen hater.

I’m not saying this as an accusation — I’m a Targaryen hater too. Not all the scenes in the show are from the book; some were added to the script. For example, Raymun Fossoway’s anti-Targaryen speech and Lyonel Baratheon saying, “The best dragon is a dead one.” Especially after watching the latest episode, I went back to the book and those lines aren’t there — they’re Ira Parker’s own additions.

Personally, I agree one hundred percent with the commentary — except for the Baelor part. However, I do have to say this: Lyonel Baratheon doesn’t really have a specific reason to hate the Targaryens. Yes, he will rebel later, but that will be because the betrothal is broken.
