Why the fuck would you think those two things are mutually exclusive?
Anyway, does anyone have any running theories on who the mole is in Dany's inner circle? Since divination magic hasn't even been remotely hinted at, they have to have an informant somewhere in their ranks. We can easily scratch off the vast majority of her people, pretty much just leaving Yara (nope), Reek (nope), Tirion (nope), and Varys as possibilities. And of those, as you might have guessed from my nopes, only Varys seems a possibility, especially given his little speech about how "we're all lions" in the first episode of the season. Why he would be helping Cersei, though, is a complete mystery given all his other motivations. I mean, he clearly recognizes that Dany is the best bet for a stable Westeros, and he's lost most if not all of his spy network, his reputation, and his position to Qyburn with Cersei's blessing. So why would he do it?
I just can't figure it out. And if it's not Varys, who else could it possibly be?
Also, after watching Hodor's death scene again, I realized that we probably haven't seen the last of him considering how he died. :'(
