‘Game of Thrones': Twitter Set Ablaze By Daenerys’ Biggest Move

There seems to be a running pattern with Daenerys on “Game of Thrones.” She declares she is the Queen of Dragons. Some dopey khal or slaver disregards this warning and looks down on her because of her gender. Said dope ends up suffering a gruesome death.

That’s exactly what happened at the end of this week’s episode. The Dothraki once again attempted to strip Daenerys of her power and force her to be a gear in their machine. Either the khals would sell her off to the slavers, or she would remain a powerless member of the Dosh Khaleen, forced to live in tents with other widows of dead khals until she withered away into old age.


But Daenerys, ever the unshakeable khaleesi, once again refused to play the part others forced upon her. She audaciously defied the khals, recalling when Khal Drogo declared he would conquer Westeros in the very tent where these lesser men were deciding her fate. Then, when the khals declared they would rape her for her insolence… she set the entire place on fire. And set Twitter on fire, too:
