Daenerys' big episode-ending speech was one of the most divisive moments of Blood of my Blood: on the one hand, it was great to see the ever-growing Drogon back in action, but at the same time it felt unnecessary and tacked-on, and made her sound like the kind of person you don't want to be rooting for.

Also, her words were wholly unoriginal.

The entire speech is something we've heard before, as it was used by Khal Drogo to his own khalasar back in Season 1. It's another example of Daenerys' storyline coming full circle, which has been the case throughout Season 6, and again it's used her to highlight how far she's come, delivering it herself on how terms.

Thankfully, she left out the part apart rape and slavery. Probably a good call, that.
