I like Dany more than most of you apparently, but I liked her in the books too. Riding a dragon is a cool skill! She has a lot to live up to being (as far as she knows) the last Targaryan. In her position, I'm not really sure what people expect her to do. She has to go and reclaim her family's throne or die trying, what choice does she really have?
It's always been a problem that things in Westeros are more interesting as we care little about Mereen and other cities on that side of the world, especially when the only reason the story is over there is to see how Dany gets dragons, gets educated on ruling, gets an army, and then gets the hell away from there and back to Westeros. In the plot it is basically a holding pattern, yet she's been there forever and doesn't look to be getting back real soon still, so the holding pattern gets a little stale. But that is how GRRM has decided to do it, so...
I guess we can assume that the ironborn will set records as to how fast they can build 1,000 ships and will then somehow sail them over there to get Dany and her army by the end of the season. The show is moving the story forward so much faster than GRRM at this point, and they don't seem to care very much about logical timing. I think we are going to have to suspend disbelief on all timing matters in the show as we head for the finish.
