- This show knows how to use time and real estate. In this brief wedding scene, you see Laena and Daemon flirting, getting acquainted, Daemon nodding to tell that dude who almost interrupted their dance not to cut in, and both of them complimenting each other and promising to get to know each other better.
She took what she wanted and lived on her own terms. She wanted Daemon? Done. She wanted Vhagar? Done. Even went out on her own terms. Laena was a great character even though she had a minor role.
Except for when she wanted to move back to dragonstone lol
@@sketched9069 I mean in her defense, Daemon wasn’t budging.
@dorykeepswimming but she chose her own death rather than letting the maesters carve her up. And her and Daemon’s marriage was never sanctioned. Hence why they left for Pentos. What ever, I’m not gonna let nitpickers ruin how I feel about it. She’s a cool minor character and I’ll leave it at that.
The writers should have given us more though. I feel the same with Harwin and Rhaenyra
Then she wanted dragon rider's honarable death, she got it. Oh waitt... 😬
Notice Daemon does not even bother to dance. He comes over, says his pick up lines and leaves like a boss.
He's like a medieval James Bond... in a maniacal sort of way.
@@Factboy12 Matt smith could be a great Bond
@@Factboy12 Perfectly summarised
@@davidesguario2151 Yeah... if you want your Bond murdering the part-time lady and the main lady.
It’s funnier when u realize he basically did the same right after to rhaenyra🤣🤣 and disappeared during the drama
She set her target, made a move, got him, lived with him happily, died as a badass. I'd say she had a nice life.
She got two biggest and coolest dragons Westeros could offer 😄
Considering how lives are lived and how they end in Westeros, you're right. She did live one hell of a nice life.
I dont think how you die has much to do with your life, especialy her death
IKR 😅
Gods be good for Laena, she got the biggest dragons her world could offer.
She lived and die on her terms, a luxury most GOT characters could never had.
Ironically the least toxic marriage he ever had
Probably cuz he didnt hate her like Rhea, he liked her like (whatever lady he was intending to wife after stealing egg) but wasnt obsessed with her like Rhaenyra.
@@sauce6746 whatever lady he was intending to wife after stealing egg=Mysaria
@@radityafauzanilmi4219 Yes I rediscovered her name some time after posting that thank you though
He actually loved her. It’s more in depth in the books
@@adb8003 he ONLY loved Rhaenyra. He just respect Lea, that's all.
Laena just goes after what she wants with no hesitation and I love that for her. RIP to a great character.
For real honestly I prefer this actress 100x more then the older one
@@marlondasilva8438Exactly!🙌
Damn cant wait for season 2 Beala is a copy of her mother and father, I hope she gets a bigger role.
I’m still mad we didn’t get more of Laena. Her friendship with Rhaenyra was one of Rhaenyra’s most important relationships, and they gave us nothing.
Yeah, right? But we sure got that useless Rhaenys scene at the end of episode 9!
@@vladdracula8103Oh get over it. Rhaenys was making a point that she was team Black by busting up from beneath the boards
@@Thrawn23. If she was really team Black, she would have incinerated Alicent, Otto, Aegon, Criston, and Aemond right there where they all stood. It would have ended the war before it even began. Now she just looks like a dumbass for allowing so much bloodshed to happen. It's the worst scene of the show and it was entirely unnecessary.
@@JimmySteller Kinslaying is one of the worst sins you can commit in westeros - she would have never killed her blood relatives unless it's a last resort. Besides, the war hadn't actually started and neither Corlys nor her had decided which side to support.
@@gaiusx287 Even allowing for that, it’s still an awful scene. The dragon bursting from a stone floor? Not to mention how many smallfolk died just for being there, when the actual perpetrators are spared? And nobody thinks to try and shoot Rhaenys when she’s just sitting there glaring dramatically? But also, come on, kinslaying or no, she’d still be able to deter a huge war by ending it right then and there. Every important member of Team Green was right there and their cause would never have recovered.
I love that marrying Damon never backfired on her. It wasn't like Cersei's marriage to Robert or Sansa's want for Joffrey, which both fizzled out once the women saw their' true colors. She knew Daemon loved someone else but it didn't stop him from appreciating her and treating her with respect.
If that was true then he wouldn't have laughed at her funeral, and fucked and married his neice right after her funeral - which was only a few days later. He didn't respect her at all, Laena was just a placeholder to him. He may not have beat her like Robert did to Cersei, but he was still a horrible husband.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 he didnt laugh at leana he laughed at vaemond insulting rhae's children in his euology.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 He wasn't laughing at Laena, he was laughing at the fact that Vaemond chose his wife's funeral to denounce Rhaenyra's sons. And as far as marrying R, Laena always knew he loved her and was moving on. The book also shows how imperfect their marriage is to the point where he strays, so despite being a "placeholder", Laena got the BEST version of him.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 Maybe if you actually tried to understand the show you wouldn't be that ignorant. He did not laugh at Laena, little miss. He laughed at Vaemond's passive aggressive speech to Rhaenyra.
Well said. I think this is possibly the best marriage in HOTD, especially considering what happens with their two daughters. (If you disagree about Laena and Daemon clearly supporting each other then you haven't seen the deleted scene where he comforts his girls, and you haven't heard about what they go on to be. Daemon was only ever loyal to Viserys, Rhaenyra, Laena, and his children, adopted or otherwise. Not to the Iron Throne, or a sense of duty, or the King. just the people he loves).
Laena was literally that girl!! She deserved more and way more time screen time. We saw her ride Vhagar literally once!
Fun Fact for Non Book Readers: Daemon allegedly fell in love with Laena the second he saw her. However, she was already betrothed to a sea lord from Braavos. Daemon insulted the Sea lord and the Sea lord challenged him to a duel which Daemon easily won, killing him. They married shortly afterwards without the King’s blessing and ran off to Pentos
Wish they kept this Leana and Leanor. The actors had an edge about them that really captured the essence of the characters and they both were gorgeous to look at.
I thought I was the only one who preferred this version of Laena and Laenor but I understand about Laenor cause he didn’t look like someone who’s wife has 3 kids now.
Hello
Phaggott
@@tbakhalid4781 Both the actresses that played Laena were gorgeous imo.
@@razatiger22 You mean all three, right?
Laena Velaryon. Rider of Daemon and Vhagar.
Lmao
Two most dangerous beasts in Westeros😂
True, true.
and they both got new riders the same day as her funeral 😅
@@alexnya8279 Lmao
love the way she speaks.. so soothing
Laena went after what she wanted, got it, and had no regrets to the end because it was always her choice. I have so much respect for her
"Laena Velaryon in her "i want daemon targaryen" era"
So the era we all currently live in then.
RIP the prettiest princess
Gotta say that they chose some really good looking people to play the velaryons hahaha
Laena deserved a larger role in the series
Rhaenyra would definitely have liked her
It would've been great to see their friendship
in fire and blood they were like sisters 😭 (being legally good-sisters)
@@98tam yeah I read about that
YES!! I totally wished that too!!
Didn't wait for him to chase her. My girl looked the dude in the eye and told him she thinks he's hot. You go girl. Valeryons are all so badass. Except Vaemond The Master of Complaints
The music really synced up well with the scene it was romantic and seductive yet suspenseful all rolled into one and really fit the scene well between them
This laena is just unbelievable!!!
Love the era. Honestly she was a great character like amaxingggggg
OMGGGG Leana...I wish we could've seen more of her.
By the way...she was younger than Rhae but Daemon had no problem marrying her, but then he said he "spared" Rhaenyra because she was a child🤡🤡🤡 ohhh...my Rogue Prince
maybe they married a few years later
This is 100% a “oh we kind of forgot” moment. Because in the book Laena is 5 years older than Rhaenrya. She is the oldest child of Corlys and Rhaenys. Laenor is 3 years older than Rhaenrya.
they should have just gone with the book ages... oh well
@@Yuvaldyn I think they maybe wanted to avoid making Viserys' and Rhaenys' claims to the thrones more complicated and more clear that it should go to Viserys since he was the male choice. Because if Laenor was already alive (since Aemma was pregnant during the council), it would be quite obvious that it would go through Rhaenys to Laenor.
Yeah. I don't know why they changed Laena's age. She is older than Rhaenyra in the book. I guess it was meant to give a plausible reason as to why Viserys didn't pick Laena. If she was of age, it would truly have been an insult to house Velaryon.
To be fair, Daemon with that haircut, anyone would want him.
Nah he looks better with the long weave 😅. Weird, but true
@@WilliamsPinch nah bro, nah nah nah, nah. That bit where he takes off his crown when he kneels for Viserys and his hair flops forward, shivers my dude, shivers.
What? He looks like an albino llama here. It's a terrible look. You have odd taste, my dude.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 I've never read something that reads as so intrinsically wrong.
Wish we had more time with Laena. I loved all the three actresses 😔
Matt Smith steals every scene as Daemon Targaryen. Hope we wins an Emmy for this role.
0:05 leana was like: yep that is the father of my children bravosi lord my ass. Sorry mother and father but after this wedding I’m riding Vhagar and leaving with my baby daddy and his noddle neck dragon. 😅😊
Noodle neck dragon...🤣🤣🤣
I had to give this a thumbs up. this comment has me in tears 😂😂😂
noodle neck dragon
Lmao
Leaving with her husband
noodle neck 😆😆😆
Yall didn’t notice but daemon was actually hearing laenor and joffrey’s conversation about nyra and crispin
"Don't be, i wasn't"
Daemon!!!!!
0:49 Lip bite THE SECOND he turns away, Laena was trying to get PREGNANT 😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t blame her 🫦
The lip 😭😭
They should have kept 2 seasons about pre war and explore more of all main characters
I think they are making 2 seasons per prequel story.
Maybe 2 seasons for Aegons conquest etc.
No they really shouldn't have. So far everything we have seen in HOTD has been nothing but a couple paragraphs in Fire and Blood. They've had to embellish a lot and so far it's been great and often better than the books version of events. But still, the meat of this story is the Dance itself. And it's gonna be 4 seasons.
I wouldn't have minded that either. Most characters who died in this season died before we barely got to know them. Viserys' was the only death that really felt emotional. This wouldn't have been the case if we had more than a couple of scenes to get invested into different characters before they start dropping like flies.
Nah if you want more go read the books we wanna see dragons fight
@@Veloziraptor111 don't worry. Between now and the end of the dance of drags we have about 2-3ys. So that's 3 full seasons covering around a year each insted of 15+. I get u tho. Be nice to see more of the current dead characters. But that's not gonna be a issue moving on
Laena: Perhaps you could show me your Bloodwyrm.
Daemon starts to take off his clothes.
Laena: No, I was thinking your dragon, the Bloodwyrm. But this is just as good.
LMAOOOOOO
Gurrll nooo 😭😭
Lmao, she was more interested in Vhagar even as a kid. She's a Dragon lover above all else.
@@thalmoragent9344 Laena: Husband, what say we travel to Spicetown to search for Vhagar?
Daemon goes down on his knees and lifts up Laena's skirt.

@@daydreamcomedianne
Ayo that's kinds sus 😅

"I can fix him"

Girls 🤣
"I like the monster that he is".
I just realised , technically, laena is his niece too( though a distant one). Man's got a thing for his nieces afterall !
not so distant . Her mother rhaenys is his first cousin making him a uncle two generations away.
@@haychlc isn't rhaenys his sister like she's viserys' sister? Or is rhaenys the cousin of viserys and daemon
@@adarshrajbhatt6557 rhaenys is their first cousin making Daemon Laena and Laenor’s first cousin once removed
Well yes, her mother Rhaenys is his cousin so her kids are his nephews/nieces lol
I don't think Corly and Rhaenys would mind so much, they did try to get Viserys to marry Laena years before...
I wished we could’ve had more laena
I wished we saw more of her with rhaynera bc i heard they were close in the books but otherwise i liked her story
They were super close in the books, and Rhaenyra visited them all the time in Pentos and was trying to get there in time with a maester who could save her when her labor went sideways.
@@xxwhispersxx2856that’s why rhaenyera also very close and a great stepmother to her children as well and she takes care of all her children including rhaena and baela.
This Laena actress was my favourite
He's like if my plan to wed my niece doesn't work out I'll be coming to you
Well he has a thing for nieces, Laena is also his niece 😂
@@tbakhalid4781 how so 🤔
@@RegoVl she's his cousin's daughter.
@@RegoVl She is his niece once removed, not direct niece like Rhaenyra is.
That lip bite at the end says it all 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍
LAENA IS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I like the character of Laena. She lived her life entirely by her own terms, right up until the end. She was also the only partner that Daemon had that he loved and respected enough not to cheat or leave.
I never thought a time lord would be so smooth
So brother's daughter and cousin's daughter.. That's Daemon's type.. Jesus..
Loveeee this scene
me too 🥰 including everything else happening at that wedding was hilarious
The music is legendary
0:23 guy dancing with Laena sees Daemon coming, and without a word from either knows he's supposed to fuck off. 🤣
Much as I like the first season of this show (and look forward to the next), I wish they'd taken their time a bit more. I get that it was a gamble on their part to try and get through the backstory in one season, but I think they could have spent a bit longer on it. We could have had two seasons of buildup instead of just one, which means more time for such characters as Laena Velaryon. They could have dealt with her Braavosi suitor the way it appears in the book, for example, and given us more scenes with her and Laenor, Daemon, Rhaenyra, etc.
Same. I wish they would have taken their time and introduced us to the setting and the characters at a more natural pace. Rather than rushing through it as they did. Still, I look forward to season 2. Just hope they don't ruin it (like make Daemon bi) or add more foot fetish scenes or window wanking. Some things you just can't unsee.
She is biting her lips while looking at daemon 💀..!!
And me too ...!!
Laena was so beautiful. Like oh my…
Man Laena in episode 5 is my most favourite Laena. She was feisty and loving at the same time and also pretty. Tbh I loved her and her dress more than Rhaenyra in this scene even though it’s Rhaenyra’s engagement party 😂 Daemon on the other hand keeping Laena as plan b if Rhaenyra doesn’t work, he really likes to collect nieces💀 while I didn’t like how they changed Laena’s age and Valerian’s skin colour but I must say they did a fine job with the casting.
Rhaenyra hairstyle is awfull
Skin color doesn’t matter in a world of fiction
Well I love ❤️ that they changed her skin color diversity is so necessary no matter how you small minded borderline ppl feel. They got it right and made it more interesting.
@@bfeditingchannel1410 I’m not against diversity dear. Mostly I’m fine with diversity, it’s just that I had a different vision for the Valerian family knowing about the Valerian lore. Most fans thought that the Valerians were pale white skinned like the Targaryens. It’s still an interesting change though. Like I said I love the casting and it’s grown on me.
@@tbakhalid4781 Velaryon*
Лейна в этой серии такая красивая. Мне нравится именно эта актриса и Милли Алкок они просто превосходно справились с ролями
This should have been Daemon and Rhaenyra’s wedding, no war and no bs. Ughh Vizzy!!!
This laena was stunning.
the lip bite 🤣
All of these actors are fun to watch! And nice to look at
It’s funny how daemon simply approached her & her dance partner & the other man left out of fear or respect just simply understanding the look on daemons face like “I’ll handle this thank you very much”😂
Yeah, he's good at that. Lol.
Daemon's best era
That lip bite and at the end lol
This Laena is so pretty
Should have reserved an episode for both of them , how they connected to each other
The show chopped their book arc waaaayyyyyy down. And made Daemon treat her like crap when in the book he loved her dearly and was devestated when she died.
oh my days! the way she looks at him
She saw
She came and she conquered
Idc what anyone says about her being a minor character. I loved laena from fire and blood and love this portrayal of her character even more!! Definitely the fairest in all the 7 kingdoms. I just wish we could have seen her and rhaenyra’s relationship. They were basically strangers.
Damn I wanted to see more them ❤
Best girl in GOT universe alongside Ygritte.
I wish they had shown more scenes with the Velaryon cousins.They were tight-knitted plus they should have kept Lena as being older than Rhae, if only to keep the storyline of Otto having Alicent sleep with Viserys to ensure that he chose her
I'm starting to think Daemon felt he should only marry a Valyrian.
Yeah he likes the nieces and explain why he kill Rhea creepy
What do you mean 'starting to think'? I'd say it's pretty clear in the show (and even more clear in the books) that Daemon considers Valyrian blood to be far, FAR superior to any other. He pretty much only considers Valyrians to be proper humans, everyone is kinda a 'meh, who cares' to him. And yes, Mysaria is also Valyrian since she's from Lys (which is a Valyrian colony) and has the typical Valyrian traits (white hair, purple-ish eyes).
I mean it’s normal for house Targaryen and honestly nowhere near as bad as brother and sister even in house Targaryen even before it was made law they could marry their children together the faith would’ve accepted uncle and niece easier then brother and sister back then. I mean it’s also to keep their magical blood pure to the best of their abilities daemon has a type.
This lady is PRETTY ASF
NOT THE LIP BITE OML
That actress is so pretty.
you know there were too many time jumps when an era lasts less than a minute
She is so beautiful 😍
She said I'll Fix him and did it. this why House of the Dragon is a fantasy series
Daemon loved Laena because she moved how he did!
That dress looks so lovely on her it’s all I think about whenever I see her In these clips
Lyonel just quietly observing everything as usual. Rip
She is so gorgeous
She nearly got one of if not the most happiest life during the HOTD timeline. Lived got daemon obtained vhagar which was her dream had 2 wonderful children. And even died in her own terms. Dragonflamed .
She rode the two best D Westoros had to offer at the time.
I think laena is more ispowerful character in entire hod because she had naval ships like carlys and largest dragon like aemond and daemon the danger like rhaenyra have... Any doubts on this
Meh... the show and books don't expand on her character so I don't understand the gushing over her other than she's a black woman. They gave her a more or less hollow role- she rode Vhagar, that's cool, but then she didn't survive until the Dance of the Dragons, and she didn't participate in battles. Even though in the show and books she's described as fiery, we didn't get to see enough of it and her death in the show is inaccurate to the book ( I prefer the book's death more). They didn't show her friendship with Rhaenyra and instead focused on Alicent, even though Alicent was supposed to be 10 years older and Laena was supposed to be Rhaenyra's best friend.
House Velaryon has many powerful members- her daughter Baela will be a much more interesting character, but Laena herself? Just meh. But I wouldn't say that Baela was a badass because of her mother, especially since in the books she died when the twins were only 3, so I doubt they would remember their mother much, if at all. My hot take- her twins are way cooler, Laena had potential but it was never reacted upon.
@@Elaine_G Idk why but your comment made me more interested in Laenas character
@@Elaine_G She’s not like most other noble women. That’s why she’s cool. Outspoken, ready to get down, etc. Whereas most are like Alicent. Prissy and stuck up.
@@289rory Cheers to that- at least she's not like most noble women. Although we don't get much dialogue from her either, which is a shame. I don't remember her saying anything in the book, and in the series we only get about 4 very short scenes with her- if they built Rhaenyra's friendship with her and showed Daemon, Rhaenyra, and Laena riding their dragons together that would've made me more attached, but they didn't.
She is also far from the only strong woman in the Westeros universe- we have Rhaenyra, Brienne, Cersei, Visenya, Queen Alysanne (these are all going by the books so far, I highly recommend reading them), and Mysaria is also going to be very important.
And sadly, was killed by childbirth.
I love her
Too bad we got to see her for only one episode
0:03 bro the way she looked at him... I can't
I like how the comments ignored that it's the 15 yeaar old daughter of Daemon's first cousin
That lip bite in the end.
Meanwhile Lyonel eating his popcorn
Not Laena hitting on her mother's cousin
The actor is so gorgeous
That is a pretty chick. Damn. He definitely loved her. The only woman he didn’t cheat on. 😂
Yeah people are hyping up Rhaneyra and Daemon like he was in love with her..Daemon might love her but not enough like he genuinely loved Laena…he starts cheating on Rhaneyra immediately with Mysaria for many years and Rhaneyra is ok with it…think their marriage was mostly political bc it benefited them both…
He loved them both equally she was a good woman but the good ones don't last in got
@@fernera22 In the book yeah but the show’s portrayal of their relationship seems different.
There actually was a deleted scene showing Daemon with a male servant while they were in Pentos
@@fernera22 There's deleted scenes and in the books he doesn't show to be in love with her. Maybe fond of her, but not like Rhaenyra. That's why he had no problem marrying her very shortly after his wifes death.
should have shown more of them
Savannah Steyn is so beautiful
Laena was absolutely gorgeous 😍
She is so beautiful
Okay, so how is it that Rhaenyra looks the same as in the last episode, but Laena clearly seems to have grown years in the same time?
That's a good question I don't understand why they change their age
Laena's only 15 here. They cast an older actress tho so it wouldn't be so fecking creepy looking.
Laena is about 12 when we first meet her and Rhaenyra is 15 when we first meet her. I guess as someone said, to make this scene less creepy. Laenor was also played by 3 different actors too, as well as Alicent’s Aegon now that I think about it.
I mean lets be real. Her actor is freaking gorgoeus! 🥵
Damn she was really going after it
This laena was fine as hell. The other one was pretty (not the child, let’s make we clarifying lol)
did she just did a shoulder roll to daemon at 0:02?
What does that mean ?
They should’ve kept this leana, loved her ‼️‼️‼️
