I think they should have ended with Stannis deciding to go North. It seems to me that George R.R. Martin has a bit of a blind spot where Daenerys is concerned, and I've found her storyline to be very tedious this series - go to new location, find people there instantly decide they will follow her to the ends of the earth and die for her etc., move to new location, repeat. OK, I'm massively exaggerating, but I very much doubt anything bad will happen to her unless it's at the very climax of the whole series. The Starks have been the gluttons for punishment so far, with their noble actions being seen as naive and costing them their lives, whereas Daenerys' noble actions only bring her more followers. As to the scene itself, I thought it went on for far too long and was actually a little creepy. She says their lives are their own etc. but they all decide to slavishly worship her anyway as if they can't think for themselves. It's all getting rather tiresome.
