He also showed up after she executed yer man, when the rebellion was just beginning and when she was clearly going through a bad time. I think the idea is that he can sense when she's in trouble.

He believes in his claim so much, so righteously, that he is willing to sacrifice his own humanity to do what he needs to do.

AtomicHorror wrote: » You might even say that explanation has been the main subtext of Daenerys' storyline this season. The writers weren't subtle about it.
OhHiMark wrote: » They have no idea who the Sons of the Harpy are, and no leads. They have no time to start an investigation. Dany has been told that they're probably people who are unhappy with how she's running the city, things like closing the fighting pits. Before this happened it was reasonable to assume that reopening the pits would placate them.

So looks like Dany can actually exert some influence over her Drogon, but fling enough spears at them, and are they going to be slowed? And will Rhaegal and Viserion do the same, considering they were locked up? And how long before Jorah's illness becomes contagious? Was the taking of his hand by Daenerys a symbolic reacceptance/forgiveness thing, or is she at risk now? A girls story drags, but it least there was a bit of movement last night with the arrival of Trant.....
