( dany looks 18 or so on television so please stop telling me things from the book. I plan on reading it soon so spoilers like that, while small, lessen the experience. I want to find out where the book and show differ myself.)
It seems your lack of understanding into human passions is what keeps you from understanding why Dany and Drogo worked so perfectly. His violence and passionate barbarism didn't demean his love, quite the contrary in fact. It was jagged at first because they were both unfamiliar with each other but also because Dany didn't carry herself with any respect so she didn't get any. But that moment in episode 4 when she stopped being dominated during sex and instead treated herself as an equal is the day he saw her as one. He was the one man strong enough to carry her lofty dreams and not crumble and she was someone he could see as an equal. They're also both crazy as F*** and barbaric at times and they have great sex. Can't ask for more than that.
Of all the shows sex scenes, be it Jaime/Cersei, Robb/Talia(sp), Tyrion/insert whore here, Theon/insert whore here, Dany and Drogo's was the only one that held any passion; everyone else felt soulless in comparison.
As for Osha, I agree 100%. If her character was meant to be a red herring, whose purpose was to deceive the audience into falling into Westeros' perception of the wildlings then things would be different. As it stands she comes off as a foil to Theon's pretensions and facade. He, the iron born prisoner pretending to be regal, and her, the simple willing with more wit and sense than everyone else. The problem is she plays the role with this hunched posture and piercing glare that always gives off the sense that she is deranged. I kept waiting for her to turn on Bran and by not doing it she only further disproved wildlings reputations and her earlier demeanor.
Perhaps the wildlings really are savage and Ygritte is just the minority. Who knows!
