It was one of her biggest - and most successful - power plays in the series. It takes a thrilling turn when Daenerys talks back in perfect High Valyrian, swindling the slaver into freeing the Unsullied and turning him into a charred corpse with Drogon’s dragon fire. The episode sees her negotiate with a slave trader and ruler of Astapor for his Unsullied army, with the trader insulting her in High Valyrian thinking her none the wiser. Season 2 of Game of Thrones saw Daenerys stumble more often than not as she was still growing into her leadership role, but season 3 brought another one of her most powerful moments during And Now His Watch Is Ended. And Now His Watch Is Ended (season 3, episode 4)

Seeing Daenerys rise out of the pyre’s ashes the following morning with her three baby dragons in tow is undoubtedly one of her most iconic moments of the entire series and gave a glimpse to her growing power that would fully develop in later seasons.
After mercy-killing Drogo, she walks into the scorching pyre that she used to send off her late husband and kill the maegi that put him in this state.įire and Blood was a perfect way to close Game of Thrones‘ first season, and, especially after episode 9 with Ned Stark’s death, showed that this series doesn’t play it safe. Fire and Blood (season 1, episode 10)ĭaenerys and the rest of the Khalasar tribe are in increasingly dire straits following Drogo’s vegetative state, with the maegi unable to bring him back through dark magic. The perfect close comes as she stands up to her cruel brother and Jason Mamoa’s imposing Khal Drogo gives Viserys the “golden crown” he so craved.
The sight of Daenerys eating a horse’s heart is equal parts grotesque and strangely empowering, with the once-scorned wife winning over a whole room’s worth of a barbaric warrior tribe’s members. The season continues to tease the character’s greater purpose with the supposedly petrified dragon eggs, and just as satisfying as her growth in this episode is Viserys’ continually waning power, petty frustration, and ultimate demise. A Golden Crown (season 1, episode 6)īy the time of A Golden Crown, it becomes satisfying to see Daenerys progressively learn to turn her grim situation into a source and position of strength. Even if her story here is hard to stomach at times, it sets up the cruelty of the world and how Daenerys would come to navigate it throughout the series. It’s a powerful episode that begins with her being unwillingly sold to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo. That goes for Daenerys’ story opening in Essos, alongside her sadistic brother Viserys Targaryen and their exiled companion Jorah Mormont. It introduces all the key players - at the time - and starts to set them up on the gritty playing board. Winter is Coming set the stage for how gripping and relentless this dark-fantasy epic would be. The series premiere of Game of Thrones was a fairly raw opening on all accounts. From the birth of her three draconic sons to her explosive arrival in Westeros, these are some of the best Daenerys-themed episodes worth revisiting before House of the Dragon‘s premiere.
