Alright, so there's this scene where Dany and Jon ride Drogon and Rhaegal respectively. And it's a pretty cool scene in-and-of-itself. But it's really freaking odd to me that Dany isn't incredibly surprised that Jon can just ride Rheagal so easily.
I feel like it's not established to the same degree in the show but it seems as though it's mostly Targaryens (or at least Valyrians) who can do the whole "solo dragonriding thing" without significant effort (like "taming" the dragon with food first).
So by all accounts Dany shouldn't have encouraged Jon to ride Rhaegal because, as a Stark (in her mind), she should've expected it not to work. And by all accounts when Jon somehow managed to ride Rhaegal it should've set off some serious alarm bells in her head.
And yet she suggest he does it and she kind of treats it as "Yeah, fine, you can ride a dragon now." If anything this is when she should've first realized his true heritage, or at least suspected it.
Anyway, that always bothered me.
