And 19, what do you think about my crackpot theory about Varys wanting to wipe out the Targaryens? He's just using Dany for her dragons and army, and once he has that under his thumb, he will try to eliminate her. Dany is strong willed and may not go along with Varys like Aegon was trained to.

- in hindsight, I'm pretty sure neither Varys nor Illyrio had a clue she would hatch the eggs, they married her off to a land-locked warlord to get her brother out of the way, knowing Viserys stupid arse would hang himself sooner than later waiting for Drogo to cross the Narrow Sea...she was not considered any threat to their plans at all, until she got pregnant (Robert's deal w Jorah for her head, Varys was quick to broker that one) I think the eggs were given to her merelyfor safe keeping (who would steal from a Dothraki Khal?) until Aegon was old enough/ time right to make a play for Iron Throne. Aeg having eggs could bolster his Targ ID / claim. I refuse to believe Varys and Illyrio thought the eggs could be hatched, just intended as window dressing for the Mummer's Dragon. Surprise!

Dany won't follow Varys at all, I suspect, especially once Tyrion bends her ear. Marriage may be Varys best/only option if Aegon is going to remain his main plan. He would be wise to ride her all the way to the Red Keep (rather than try to wrestle control of the dragons and unsullied en route). If he is a Blackfyre, his endgame more than likely is to eliminate the Targ line...only after she has served her purpose.

There is also the possibility that Aegon will be relegated to plan B, if Dany gets her shite together (or that he has been Varys's backup plan all along) Especially so, If we're wrong about Varys being a Blackfyre.
