Game Of Thrones: 10 Things Daenerys Targaryen Wants You To Forget

6. The Execution

So let's clear this up. The Sons Of The Harpy have terrorised the city for years, pillaging, murdering, and aggravating the peace, ruining lives in the process. Daenerys kills those 163 potential criminals without a trial, and yet when one of her subjects kills a captive Harpy, it's an offence punishable by death? Hah, okay then... Mossador committed a crime in disobeying Daenerys but did he really have to die for killing a killer? He should have been punished, but Dany made the decision to go 'all guns blazing' and ordered Daario to lop his head off. But therein lies another problem. 'Ordered Daario'. Remember the wise paraphrased words of Ned Stark who said the person to pass the sentence must swing the sword? Well, Daenerys doesn't. She flinches and even turns away. She can't look, and won't get her hands dirty. Strong leader?
