For everyone bashing Daenerys storyline boring & dull. It's the fault of the directors/writers of the show. There were a lot of stuff with the slave cities, the second sons that weren't told elaborated on. It feels rushed and tbh plain bad. READ THE BOOKS! Also characters not even mentionned like strong belwas :'(

-Nightshade is a poison, isn't it? Is Tywin seriously intending to off Joffrey because he can't put up with the little fucker anymore? If so, bravo Tywin. Probably my third favorite living character after Tyrion and the Hound.

My major problem with the Danarys is that Yunkai is going to open a huge can of worms and destabilise all of society. Removing the ruling faction like that and destroying economic system requires a replacement. I don't know how it was handled in Astapor but Yunkai is going to be even worse.

The problem is this is a tv show with 99% of characters are all in one area and one character is in a totally different area. Even from the beginning of the books -- no spoilers, just an example -- there were really two storylines. One story line is the Game of Thrones in Westeros + the zombie stuff. The other story is the Targarians on a whole different continent. One book is basically about grand politics and war and cunning and the other one is an adventure story of a brave girl.
Martin screwed up by choosing to try and jam in two divergent books that happen to be set on one continent into one book. But at least in book form you can just jam in more pages and sub stories to try to cover it up. On the tv screen when you can budget only 50 minutes you cannot do that effectively. And every time they try to shove Daenrys down your throat, it becomes more jarring because you know better actors and better characters are getting less and less screen time. And for what do we miss out on more scenes from Mace -- Ceaser leading another army from the north! -- or Littlefinger or Oleanna Redwyne? So she can waltz around like at some weird rock concert? or do another pouty BUT IAM STORMBORN GIVE ME OBEDIENCE! or watch another Jorah friend zone bitter face shot? its just plain stupid and HBO should have been brave enough to just say no to Danarys completely.

Isn't nightshade what Cersei meant to use to kill her child when Tywin barely fended off Stannis sacking King's Landing? If i recall correctly, the grandmaster guy said a small amount of drops would only put you to sleep, while ten or more would be lethal. I highly doubt he would spout a plan to kill of the king in front of the entire small council, and I also highly doubt he would want to kill off Joffrey, however insufferable he might be.

I would imagine Daenerys would be very relevant to Westeros later on, considering she is amassing an army and planning to invade Westeros.

Maybe. But the payoff for this invasion is going to happen when, another 2 seasons further away? So we now have 5 seasons of at least 10 minutes per episode on average, of one person that is completely unrelated to anything else. Think of how many more relevant to Westeros characters they could have inserted in that time they devoted to a thing that might pan out in 5 years.
