Some interesting notes sent by raven:

If they'd been able to afford more CG, they presumably would have started trying to produce ravens that did not look so obviously fake.

Well, Danaerys did appear be attempting to pull the spear out the way it came in, which you're not supposed to do (it just makes the wound worse).

In the immortal words of Alfred Hitchcock, "Because that would be boring."

Well, she could have done to them what Basil II supposedly did to the Bulgarian prisoners after the Battle of Kleidion. For people too lazy to look it up in Wikipedia, he supposedly divided the prisoners into groups of 100, blinded 99, and left the 100th with one eye as a guide.

I was kind of wondering why no one has pointed out to her that while the Dothraki and the Unsullied are fighting for her because they believe in her, a ragtag bunch of conscripts who joined her only because of their immediate fear of incineration will be useless to her.

He's so vain.

Shakespeare also uses at least one famous mixed metaphor in Hamlet — "To take arms against a sea of troubles." I am not aware of any style guide that approves of the use of mixed metaphors.
