    I want to say that I like Dany. She's a great character, started off weak, but gradually gains strength as the story progresses in both the show and books. It's only in the books that you can actually read what she's thinking.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    (SPOILER)He's Ramsay. The eyes give it away. And, well, the cast list.
    Part of the joke is that, in the books, (SPOILER)Ramsey and Reek are the same character upon initial introduction. I am fully aware what role the actor plays and I guess my joke fell flat.

    Is it? Because that certainly wasn't the Dany in the books.
    Most of Dany's character growth is through her own internal monologue and how she reacts, internally, to the events going on around her. The show doesn't have access to this, which makes it a little harder to portray the character correctly. Dany, in the show, is portrayed exactly as she should be: a scared girl who has no real idea what she is supposed to be doing but knows that she is the last dragon and, as such, must act the part. I'd say the actress has played her fairly stellar so far.

    I think the only person who hates Dany is TB.

    Also what are you people talking about DEM EYEBROWS. She shows tons of emotion through those dang eyebrows!

    What you've got to remember is that for pretty much the entire time, she's constantly on the move, leading her dothraki/army/posse across Essos. She's not exactly got alot of time to talk to what's left of her companions (Irri, Doreah, Drogo are dead remember) and she's really only got Jorah to talk to (Barristan and Missandei have only just recently joined her), and even then she's either criticising him, dismissing his advances or otherwise telling him what to do. Not alot of time to open up her emotions in all of that.

    Couple with what was said about the whole internal monologue not being able to transfer to screen, and you can see why Dany doesn't have alot of room to show emotion or open up. Given what time she does have, the actress is doing a good job really!

    Emilia Clarke is extremely expressive and has a ton of energy in real life.

    Acting? Not so much.

    Every scene

    Same look

    Same blank face

    Same dead eyes

    Same monotone voice
    Danaerys is one of the best characters for conveying her emotions purely through her eyes.

    I think you're just drawing blanks to hate on her.

    I've given a ton of reasons why I hate Daenerys, actually.

    Although, the more I think about it, the more I've come to realize I never really liked Dany to begin with, but Emilia Clarke's shoddy portrayal of her sealed the deal. There are other actresses who would've done loads better.

    Also, except for the first picture, all dead eyes.

    I think you don't understand that the character isn't trying to show emotion. She's in a world where she's forever been seen as "the girl with a name at the edge of the world." She's no threat. What would showing her emotions do for her? Going back to the misogynistic thing, the world is dominated by men, showing her emotions to them would just make her look weak in their eyes. The last time she showed emotion to anyone, her husband was murdered. She has her moments where she does shows emotions, such as trying to give water to the slave. Being seen as no threat in the eyes of men, she's constantly underestimated. Without playing into it too much, she uses that to her advantage. And walks out with an army.

    Or should she be broody and emo like Jon Snow?

    You can be stoic, and not be bland.

    I still don't understand your "dead eyes" thing. I don't see that. At all.

    That's just it. She conceals her emotions and outbursts, but you can see the wheels working in her eyes.

    Except her eyes are always dead and lifeless. So, not really.

    You seem to be the only person here observing that, so for those of us who can see it: yeah, really.

    Lol ---> The Khaleesi Sucks At Acting...

    Moving on, since we won't agree--

    Is it just more, or has this season been really slow? Except for the ending of this episode, it's been really bland. We're over a third into the season, and after next week's, we'll be halfway though. I don't feel like the stories have progressed at all.

    Although, I will say, Varys and Olenna. Omg. They need to have a spin-off talk show. For real.
