I get it, you like Danny, but surely you can see her character got the short end of the stick, plot wise, same with Arya.
Being kept on the sidelines, isn't as interesting, who knew? Tyrion Knows, he was straight dope for four seasons, then he takes a long detour to Essos while he drinks, makes jokes, and gets enslaved, and his part of the story gets a lot less interesting, even after he finally hooks up with Danny. Saved only by Dinklage's flair for dialogue, that is not a coincidence.
Essos just sucks, and spending time avoiding the big leagues is way more boring than the shit going on in Westeros, Varys Knows too. Interest level in even the best characters on the show will suffer from a detour to Essos, that's how shitty it is.
I would generically agree that Essos is less interesting than Westoros, but not exclusively. Tyrion's time there was interesting to me. I enjoyed his journey with Jorah; going through Valyria and his seeing the almost full-grown dragon was pretty good, along with the stone men encounter. He also got to free the dragons from the catacombs, which leads to a question about his being a Targaryen. Maybe? Also, if he didn't go to Essos, he'd be dead, so I am perfectly happy that he went there. He's at the top of my list of people I want standing at the end of it all.
I found some of The Wall story lines to be a lot less interesting than the best parts of Essos. Some dramatic shit went down in Essos.
I agree on one point; the length of time it took Dany to get from having the sullied, to getting to Westoros, was too long. It wasn't nearly as boring as the Arya/Bravos thread, though.
