[S5] Does anyone else think Daenerys would make a terrible ruler of Westeros?

Verdict on Mossador

He killed a man standing on trial. He even said he acted on behalf of the queen while blatenly doing the opposite of what she wanted. Doing it publicly meant that she didn't play favorites. I seriously don't get why she gets so much flak for this when in the very next episode Jon Snow executed Janos for simply refusing a direct command. Janos cried and even said he'll follow his order in the end, and Jon still did it. Think about that. Janos didn't create any permanent damage by refusing an order, just openly was a dick to Jon. But like Jon, Dany couldn't just back down because itll appear as weakness. Mossador took it upon himself to execute someone. There was no way to reverse that. The dude had to go. And for the reaction, well as he said himself, people in Meeren don't understand fair trial and such concepts, only blood. He couldn't even understand what he did wrong. The dude had to go. He had no place in the world she's trying to create in Meereen.

Exiling Jorah

Is he acting out of loyalty or just doing whatever he can to win her over because thats what will make him ultimately happy? Not only did he lie to her, spied on her, and informed the people that tried to kill her when she was pregnant; he's also endangering her. He has greyscale and wants to be close to her again. He never mentioned that he's dying or the sort to her. Another little fact that he's okay with keeping to himself. Hell, in the books he wasn't even that apologetic about spying on her. No, he's just gun-ho in winning her over. He's not concerned about the possibility of it spreading to the people in the city that she's ruling, or even to her. He's so focused on his own passion and his own desire that he's blinded in seeing how selfish it is of him to even put her in that type of risky situation. Oh, and I don't know why people think she has the cure for grayscale, that just doesn't follow

Interrogating the Great Masters

You know what? Not only did she lose a powerful ally, a loyal advisor, and even a friend in Barristan, she lost a huge link to her past with him gone. As far as she knows, everyone in her family is dead. Did you catch how happy she was when Barristan was speaking of Rhaegar? I haven't seen her that happy....well. .. kinda ever lol. She also heard for the first time that her father was mad from someone that she trusted. Not one that could be written off as just swayed by propaganda. And she listened to his counsel and heeded his advice. She knows that a master, if not all of the masters are involved with the Harpys. Seems to be too coincidental for a group of people dressed in masks that resemble the Harpy statue Dany tore down to attack Dany and her forces. Especially when she said she wouldn't open the fighting pits. I would go beserk if they killed basically one of my only friend left because they can't get over that slavery is wrong. And I get it. She makes mistakes. But really, every leader on the show does. Robb's mistakes were egregious looking back at it. So was Ned's. We loved the characters, but they made some very obvious political blunders. Dany will learn and grow. She's showed plenty of instances of her getting better as a leader. She took a Lannister, the same family that ordered her family (father, cousins, herself, etc) to be killed, as an advisor. That's why she's in Meereen in the first place, to gain experience before going to the big leagues.

Relationship with Daario

You reeeeeaally think she trusts Daario? No, she's just lonely and all her friends keep either dying or betraying her. This is the first time she has an intimate relationship with a guy that didn't start with rape. Let her have this little bit of fun. Plus, She was willing to risk Daario's life to fight for her as her champion because he's just her boy toy. But Jorah, she trusted deeply. He was with her from the start. And that was built on a lie. That betrayal is deep. Way deeper than people are giving credit for. I mean, I wouldn't really be raring to forgive someone that informed the people that wanted me and my unborn child dead. Yeah he might love her, but if he really loved her, he would understand that he's a walking patient zero and he should really avoid giving his beloved or her people a deadly affliction.
