I'm surprised there has not been more discussion, here and elsewhere, of Grey Worm's role in the genocide, which is almost as pivotal as Dany's. In a way, that about-face was less foreseeable. But in other ways, completely predictable. The message I took from this episode (which I thought, even taking the flaws into account, were some of the finest 80 min of TV I have ever seen) is that Dany and her army killed thousands of innocent people, because that is what rulers and their armies do. It doesn't matter if we're talking about Daenerys Targaryen or Barack Obama.
