This essay is very interesting, but it doesn't invalidate my point. Based on what we see in the show - which is all I have to go on, seeing as I don't read the books due to finding Martin's writing style unbearable - Dany is doing a BAD job at the moment. Her biggest mistake was assuming that everyone would thank her for upending the status quo, when in fact much of the population was heavily invested in the way things were, even some of the slaves. She also failed to keep any occupying force in the cities she took before Meereen. Or at least, not ones big enough to stop the cities from being retaken. The essay doesn't even address these key points. I like Dany, and I'm sure she can do better, but so far she's done a BAD job of ruling Slaver's Bay.
