Wasn't really crazy about this weeks episode. Danny's character is coming off as a bit too entitled and childish. Seems like a lot more so than in the books to me. I can't tell how much of it is intentional...some of the writing seems hackneyed, and the actress seems like she's having a hard time with some of the character's petulant-sounding speeches. The bit where she was demanding ships from that spice merchant was cringe-worthy.
I think the intent was to make her sound like her brother with regards to her desire for the Iron Throne. And they accomplished that IMO. I haven't read the books, but from the bits I've picked up she's going to change her goals at some point. I think this was a quick and easy way to set up the "before" state for the TV audience who wont have the luxury of reading several chapters of character development.
