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.
I'm fine with them trying to stress that she wants the Iron Throne. A little less so with them making her sound like a spoiled 6 year old out of the blue. Her character should have been through enough now to know that things don't come so easy, IMHO.
