The unsullied have looked pathetic all season, find it difficult to understand how a bunch of slave masters can be so much better at fighting than soldiers who've quite literally been bred for this very purpose.
Maybe I haven't paid enough attention, so I'll just ask: Why does everyone assume that the Sons of Harpy are the previous slave masters? I mean, they're obviously in control of them, but one would assume that the previous ruling class of the city would still be rich enough to hire a band of mercenaries for such a job, no?
As for the episode itself, there were two minor things in which annoyed me somewhat. First of all, I thought the fighting pits choreography was pretty good, but Jorah's final killing blow in the competition triggered flashbacks to Jaime/Bronn V the Sand Snakes.
Also, what followed after the Sons of Harpy revealed themselves (which was a pretty awesome moment in itself to be fair) just felt a lot less intense than I feel like it should have been. The Sons of Harpy's sole purpose is to kill Danny, but for some reason no actually seemed to care much about that. Spears were being thrown everywhere, but not a single one in the direction of Danny, and the SoH were even kind enough to take a break from throwing spears altogether so she could walk over and have a "moment" with a wounded Drogon.
