Thank you for posting the vids for Game of Thrones. I only just finished reading the book and she is one of my favorite characters. The fact that she is played by such a powerful actress just makes the character so much more kickass.
The casting in general on the show absolutely blew me away. There is literally no one I think is seriously miscast (I think Renly isn't pretty enough, but the actor still does a good job with the character), and most of them are spot on.
And even amongst all of that amazing casting, Emilia Clarke stands out as one of the best actresses and most perfect fits for her character. She really does embody Dany's strength so well -- it's hard to believe she's just out of acting school. This is her first major role, and I could not be happier they took the risk on her. (The part was also recast because the original actress dropped out. While I'm sure she would have been good too, I can't imagine anyone else in the role).
Hi! I'm really loving your Dany contributions to We Love the Women that Fandom Hates. How anyone could hate Dany is beyond me, but your posts are wonderful. Hope you don't mind that I added you as a friend :)

Aw, thanks! I also can't really fathom people hating her -- I said this in a post a while back, but I had to walk away from my computer once to resist going all RAH ANGRY GEEK at a vague acquaintance on Facebook who called her a Mary Sue. I know the guy well enough to know that conversation would have gone no where, but seriously now. *rages*
Hope you don't mind that I added you as a friend :) Not at all! I recognize you from convos in the Spuffy circle -- I've added you back! Anyone who likes Spuffy and Dany is a person after my own heart :)
DANY!!! ♥ Love her, love this and can't wait for the rest of your posts!
And GRRM overdoes it with the repeated phrases sometimes, but I love her 'young girl' thing too. Sometimes she uses the way people underestimate her to her advantage, and other times rebels against it.

Exactly. I think the reason this phrase doesn't bug me is it feels like DANY using it a lot to, as you say, get different things. Whereas with other phrases it feels like GRRM either repeating descriptions or using one phrase as a shorthand for actually expressing specifically what the character is thinking/feeling.
