2. Daenerys Retreading Old Ground

Daenerys returns after a week off, but rather than feeling fresh on the back of her absence, it all seems a little bit familiar.

There's the fact that her story with the Dothraki feels like it did way back in the day, as she's forced into situations she doesn't want to be in, this time joining the dosh khaleen (at best!). But it's also similar to something much more current, as her using all of her titles to try and get out of the mess is something she did in the first episode of Season 6, and it had a same result.

I want Daenerys to have an interesting storyline, because she should be a great character and is also one of the main ones, but so far this isn't really it. The sooner Drogon arrives and gets her out of there, which is surely going to happen, the better.
