In the books, it's basically a bunch of internal monologing that gets her to the House of the Undying, which, you know, not going to work on screen. Her storyline this season, and its deviation from the book has often left me going, "huh." But since they've made it clear from the moment she arrived in Qarth that she would be going to the House of the Undying (which I thought for sure would get cut), I'm still willing to roll with it. I don't think this choice made a lot of sense, but it was at lest more interesting than watching Dany navel-gaze all season.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Yes, I'm sure that's what they're doing and I hope that they make the House of the Undying sequence kick-ass.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love the portrayal of Pyat Pree so far - creepy, and not taken seriously by the other Qartheen, and then surprisingly deadly.

Okay and feel free to white font if you need to: in the book did her dragons go missing?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They did not.

BTW, I am pretty invested in those dragons. I am not sure I give a shit about much else besides those dragons. Not sure why I am so attached to them as they have no discernible personality except to set fire to their food, but any touches those dragons, and I want them to get the Joffrey slap.

I think that the dragons should be able to smack down anyone who tries to harm them. Hello, they have their own fire.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but they are little still. They were described as the size of cats. So I am not sure they can really take care of themselves. Not to mention, I worry about dragons out there without proper training. They can fuck shit up.

Well, they will be able to shortly. (Heck, they could burn their way out of that basket.)
Hmm, wonder if Dany has the Dragon Whisperer's number.
