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.

Art Crawl!!!
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.

Yeah, at this point, in the book, they can't take care of themselves yet. They can't even fly. So some dragon woobification is perfectly understandable.

I actually did not know what I was seeing at the end of the ep
There's been at least a couple of episodes this season that ended with a shocking image that was not really clear what we were seeing. I'm not crazy about that, but I guess it's a pretty effective tune-in-next-week.
I'm all "Dragons, yay!" myself, I don't think worrying about their well-being requires a lot of justification. They are shiny and wee and breath fire!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, you're cracking me up.

They are so cute when they are little.

Oh, I just remembered that Tyrion's "call it tactics rather than strategy" line made me very happy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, I just remembered that Tyrion's "call it tactics rather than strategy" line made me very happy.
That made me happy because even as his knee-jerk reaction was to correct Cersei's vocabulary, you could also see just how happy it made him to be having the conversation with her at all. Finally, a shared interest! Someone in my family is talking to me like a human being!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The awkwardness between the two of them at the end of that conversation was brilliant. I might be projecting, but I'd like to think one of the things running through Tyrion's head was "Is this hug time? Do I really want to hug my sister who's fucking my brother?"
I really liked this last episode, more than most. It's not that it was ooh! exciting! or anything, but the shocks shocked me, and I felt more emotionally connected to the characters than just about any other episode.
Ah, fuck, it was exciting. The re-appeary guy who had the 13 killed freaks me the fuck out.
So I was a bit surprised to see a number of people on IO9 complain that it was a boring go-nowhere episode. But maybe they've been "into" all the eps that I found only academically interesting.

Now I really want to watch the HBO Go version with the interactive whatevers instead of cleaning the kitchen, etc. Maybe for a lunch break.
