In the beginning, before she becomes the "Mother of Dragons," Daenerys is just a victim — a tool to be used to slake the desires of both her brother, Viserys (Harry Lloyd), who lusts for power, and Khal Drogo, who lusts for a pretty, silver-haired Westerosi woman. Dany is given to Khal Drogo as a gift from Viserys, who is hoping for a large, formidable Dothraki army — a khalasar — in exchange to win back the Iron Throne. Although Dany and Drogo come to love one another in their own way, things don't quite start out as an ideal romance made in heaven.

After the wedding celebration in the series' pilot, "Winter is Coming," Drogo takes Dany to a scenic hilltop to consummate their marriage — but it's not the honeymoon night of Dany's dreams. As Drogo strips her of her clothes, Dany begins to weep, and Drogo wipes her tears away. He then utters the single word he knows of the Common tongue: "No." It seems like Drogo can't stand to see his new bride cry, but that doesn't stop him from forcing Dany to have sex.

This scene caused many fans of the show a lot of discomfort but was especially despised by fans of the books that "Game of Thrones" were based on, "A Song of Ice and Fire." The scene plays out quite differently in the original text, with Drogo actually being much more gentle with his new wife. Daenerys in the book is only 13 years old, though, as opposed to being 16 in the show, which makes the whole thing that much more icky. So, yeah, any way you slice it, that scene leaves a bad taste in viewers' mouths.
