Daenerys completes phase 1 of her protracted marriage to Khal Drogo. Receives some pretty rocking wedding presents. The chaps discuss it all in light of the #metoo movement. Mackelly rashly insults Jason Momoa. And a special guest contributes to a new crop of outtakes.
Chapter Review
Daenerys marries Khal Drogo in Pentos in a wild Dothraki ceremony. She receives gifts of three new handmaidens to help her with the transition from slightly sheltered princess, to horse-riding, Dothraki-talking, Drogo-loving Khaleesi. She gets Westerosi books from Jorah Mormont, now pledged to the Targaryen cause. Three petrified dragon eggs from Illyrio Mopatis. And a wonderful horse from Khal Drogo. Viserys wants to cut the ceremony short to go invade Westeros, but wiser heads prevail (by basically ignoring him). The consummation of the marriage is marginally less awful than Daeny anticipated, as Drogo proves himself to be something of a romantic, with a degree of tenderness that he certainly hides from the khalasar.
