6. How Much Control Are The Dragons Under?

The dragons are let out to play in this episode, and not just Drogon. For once, Rhaegal and Viserion - considerably smaller than their brother - get to join in the fun, and it's an awesome sight to see all three of Daenerys' dragons in action.

It begs the question of just how much control Daenerys now has over the dragons. She seems to be flying Drogon easily enough, but hasn't spent any time with the other two - do they respect her and follow her command, or simply fall into line behind whatever Drogon does?

If they can be fully controlled, that's obviously a big boost in conquering Westeros, but what if - as prophesied - she needs two other dragon riders?
