I was not a fan of Season 6, and Dany’s arc among the Dothraki was a particular lowlight. The misinterpretation of the Dosh Khaleen and their role in society, the constant gendered insults, and the rather lame way that all of it was resolved (GRRM has very carefully established that the Dothraki have a quasi-religious fear and awe of dragons and that Dany was discovered standing next to her dragon, for crying out loud!), did not like.
I do not know if you are still a viewer of the show (GoT) but I was greatly troubled by the scripting of Daenerys in Season Six. She says lines such as, “None of you are fit to lead the Dothraki, but I am, so I will.” Doesn’t it sound like Manifest Destiny? A justification to conquer because said conqueror is ‘great’ and ‘better’ than the people’s own leaders. Isn’t a nation allowed to self-determine? I am disheartened that no critic that I know of has pointed this out and she is beloved by fans
