Gotcha. Either way, she didn't take the first step in summoning him even. The coin is like a calling card. She has to give it to a Bravossi man and speak the words. She did the latter, but not the former.
Sure but her prime motivations, and the things she talked about with the people around her, have been about retaking the throne which she has the noble right to. It was probably kept from us to make the Unsullied scenes more powerful, but I find it slightly annoying that she's being so concerned with freeing slaves and treating them fairly now, as this gives me the impression she might not join the game for the throne for quite a while because she's on a sidequest now.
Also I 100% agree with what you say about being in the dark about what magic can do. My critical mind of course wants to know but I will gladly agree it is better this way, there is no need to detract focus by going into specifics and the mystery that surrounds this topic is great.
She still is going to go take the throne. Why are the two initiatives mutually exclusive in your mind?

There was also his throne-room scene with Tywin where he was actually talking quite sensibly, especially if you forget the intonations and concentrate only on the words.
But then there was the ugly killing of Ros and the complete meltdown in the final episode. Especially the latter was disappointing. It makes it seem that Jeoffrey gets no character development of his own, and instead only behaves in a way that is best for showcasing the dealings of other characters.
Yeah, I feel like something was lost here in the adaptation. I bet we get more scenes of him publicly being a good king-- at least in so much as standing on balconies and waving and other such nonsense, but we still have him becoming more sadistic behind the walls of the palace. This would be a really interesting aspect to follow, the duality motif or whatever, maybe we'll get some of it next season?
