OMG (view spoiler)[ Ser Jorah kissed Dany??????? Really?? (hide spoiler)] I don't know how to react to this...

[Roseanne, RRRM]

I am ok with that.

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

Ugh, he is too old for her! Bad mistake on his part. She won't see him the same way now.

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

I think he is too old as well. Creepy! But she kissed him back. (Kind of)

thoughts while reading:

I wonder what it was that he read. "It seems I must be a warrior." ← was it a prophecy of sorts?
"In all the world there were but three living dragons, and those were hers; they were a wonder, and a terror, and beyond price."
There is logic to what Jorah is recommending, but I feel like he's stirring the pot and trying to push doubt into Dany's head.
And that was kind of a creepy move Jorah!

I think Dany's right when she said Jorah doesn't think of her as his queen. He looks at her and sees a woman he loves and a child that must heed his advice. "To go west you must go east." I'm still not sure what the masked woman meant by that and I wonder if she'll show up again. I don't quite remember what happened to her, she seems to show up out of nowhere and then disappear just as unexpectedly.

I wrote a comment in the thread about theories and hypotheses regarding what Rhaegar might have read. I'm inclined to believe what most people seem to think - (view spoiler)[that he read the prophecy of the Prince that was promised and thought said prince was him, but changed his mind when his son Aegon was born.
