Yeah I definitely saw it as her not wanting to show them that the dragons are tiny and starving. Then there would be nothing stopping the Qartheen from beating the khalasar to a pulp and grabbing them. Right now she's essentially bluffing with her dragons, holding them as a threat over anyone who would try to fuck with her. She can show it to them once they're in and have regained their strength, then they'll be better able to defend themselves if the need arises.
what honestly baffled me last night was why the fuck she didn't just pop her dragons out of the baskets?
I mean... what the fuck bitch? Show them off. Gain power. Stop being a spoiled little twat.
I did think that scene was a bit awkward, but Dany's reasoning seemed pretty obvious. She didn't want to show how small and weak her dragons were. Because then Qarth could easily just murder her and take them. So she needed to bluff her way in and talk about how badass she is
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

I knew that the shadow baby was going to be weird for my roommates who don't read the books. I loved that they had it be the final scene in the episode, so now my roommates are freaking about it. After seeing it, they all turned to me and were like "what the fuck are we watching". Excellent.
I thought the show pulled it off spectacularly though. Davos really sold it.

granted
but her choice was possible death by them, or certain death in the desert.
targaryens are generally not very reasonable people though, so it kinda fits

Mormont probably freaked her out with all the "Whatever direction we go in, people will kill you and take your dragons" talk from an episode or two ago

Mormont is the worst knight.
Dude needs to chill the fuck out sometime.
He's looking out for her and is pretty much right. Dragons hadn't been seen in the world in hundreds of years, and now that they've appeared people will want them for themselves.

No, he just needs to chill the fuck out, all you gotta do is spout some mystical bullshit about the life of the dragons being magically linked to Dany because of the secret incantations she used to bring them into the world, so if anyone kills Dany the dragons die, nobody gets to have dragons, AND I WILL TURN THIS DESERT AROUND IF YOU KIDS DON'T QUIET DOWN.
I mean he's not completely wrong. Dragons are game changers. If you get them you can pretty much use just the threat of them to have nations bow to your will.

As someone who has not read the books but has read all possible spoilers, I am disappointed that, at no point, will Joffrey be eaten by a dragon.

Lancel is much more of a loud-mouth and much less of an oblivious simpleton in the show. I mean, he's still dumb as hell, but my impression of him in the books was much more of a 'listen to everyone smarter than him scheme and banter' and having no idea what the hell is going on
Ask your roommate to press the "on demand" button on his remote, then look for the section with HBO (on mine, all the premium channels are together in one category). They aren't reairing episodes from the previous week(s), as best I could tell from their website.
Ros is, I believe, the only recurring character to not be in the books. So while everyone else is bound by fate, she has the power to do anything.
If Grrrr Martin doesn't finish the series before the books catch up, HBO has promised him that Ros will become the star of the final seasons, uniting the seven kingdoms behind that cute smile and rude boobies. There will be an entire season where she plays her own version of the game, and much sexposition will be had by all.

That would be the best threat ever.

More like he's not here since we're moving and he left it behind and I have to try to figure out the system he left here until it's disconnected soon, but hey. I'll try and figure it out. :P

I believe that scene where he tries to dick wave at Tyrion was in the books though. It's pretty much the only time he tries to actually do anything until the whole BOOK 3/4 STUFF

the budget is bigger, but still not unlimited, as evidenced by the blackout battle, or even the cardboardy walls of qarth
my guess is they're saving the cash for That Battle at the end of the season
With leprechauns, obviously.
And all know that leprechauns will only eat fairies, which feed exclusively on grumpkins and snarks.
Grumpkins and snarks just graze on grass though.
This is why there are no more dragons.
They were like the Irish with Potatoes.
i can still hear you saying the westeros food chain
maybe it's because my mind kind of shuts off at those bits
series is frontloaded with capons
Fun fact: capons are eunuch roosters.
so i had a way different notion of what people were eating all the time

The Irish are all dead, Khaleesi. It is known.

Anyone? I'm not familiar with how HBO operates, but I assume it's being reaired left and right this week?
I'd sooner spit on him
