29 Times Game of Thrones Actually Made You Smile

Just when Daenerys and Drogo's relationship finally hits its stride in the first season, she accidentally kills him and then loses their baby. Not the best way to keep a marriage strong, you know? When the Dothraki burn Khal's body on a giant funeral pyre, Dany, overcome with grief, walks into the flames holding her three eggs. It's a scene that should be heartbreaking (is she going to burn to death, or what?), but it ends up being one of her character's most empowering moments throughout the entire series. She steps out of the flames naked, but otherwise totally fine, with three brand-new baby dragons in tow.
