      I mean I respect the show of strength but Caraxes would’ve actually shredded Syrax into a million pieces. It’s pretty obvious that she only arrived with Syrax because she knows Daemon loves her, she even had a innocent little smile after he left and tossed the egg to her because it confirmed further for her that he cares.
      If Daemon was actually a threat, and she thought even for one second that he would hurt her or has ever wanted to hurt her she would never have went to Dragonstone.

      @ironmountain7907 Год назад +8

      @@Ivbo I agree with you 100%, I think what actually was happening is that Rhaenyra flew to dragstone as a show of strength to the kings-hand & envoy because they had disregarded her in the council meeting; additionally it provided at opportunity to deescalate tension with her uncle (threat or no threat).

      Like Tywin, Otto is ambitious, and he uses his child to fuel that without actually considering her as a person. But that’s where the similarities end. Otto isn’t as clever as Tywin. Or as cruel. Otto seems to care too much about decorum to be truly ruthless, whereas Tywin was way more blunt and direct.

    Nah, this is dumb. Viserys ignored Corlys’ concerns about the raids and his ships, then didn’t even have the grace to let him know ahead of time that he wasn’t going to marry the daughter. He’s basically saying “I don’t care about your problems and your family can get lost. The smart play would be to take Corlys aside and say, “My daughter is my stated heir. I agree that it would be great to join our families for the strength of the realm. Let us plan to marry your son to my daughter.” Problem solved.

      @@jame235 agreed - deeply flawed. But I’m struggling to find any sympathy for him. The “nice guy” tag must come from the book because he was a jerk to his daughter a couple times, and basically spat in the face of his ally. His decision not to marry the tiny child and to marry his daughter’s hot friend was entirely selfish. ... Or he *seems* nice because he’s surrounded by half a dozen psychopaths.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure Vhagar wasn’t born in Old Valyria…so when Viserys says Balerion was the last of Old Valyria, it’s accurate.

    Take note of *Laena* *Velaryon.* She's talking about *Vhagar.* Laena will be an important ally to two of the main characters for the future wars to come. She's only 12 but she'll grow up and marry... 🤐
    I became Team Daemon/Black the moment Matt Smith uttered the words "pack of hounds" and "squalor". But I do enjoy the sleaziness coming from Otto "Middlefinger" Hightower. I believe I'll remain on Team Rhaenyra/Daemon even after Blood and Cheese happens because I think the Hightowers screwed this all up by not honoring Viserys' will that Rhaenyra should be Queen.
    It doesn't make sense to be pressured to marry someone else after 6 months so the king can produce male heirs when Viserys just named Rhaenyra as his heir in Ep 1! 🤣 Hello? Then what the hell was all that talk about you messing up by always ignoring your daughter for succession? Viserys chose "friend" over family. He chose poorly.
    All Daemon is trying to tell Viserys is he needs protection. He needs a REAL MAN by his side. Daemon can wipe out leeches and infiltrators like the Hightowers. But Viserys is too weak to be a king. A grown-up Tommen. He's easily influenced by outside his bloodline. He didn't listen. By listening to Otto, this will be House Targaryen's downfall. Otto is a parasite. He's already entered Viserys' bloodstream by having her daughter be Viserys' next Queen.
    Marrying Alicent means a civil war between Targaryens. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Viserys should've chose Laena. She's a sound pick. It doesn't look right at that moment because she's just a child, but Laena will grow up to be a bad*ss character. VHAGAR, baby. VHAGAR. Or Viserys should've just listened to Daemon and let Daemon cut Otto's throat. Laena is only 12 but Daenerys was 13 in the books when she marries Khal Drogo. The writers aged her up to 17 in the show.
    If you close your eyes, Daemon does sound like Ramsay Bolton when he's speaking. Find a Ramsay scene on RUclips where he's talking. They do sound alike. So Daemon is a mixture of a lot of characters: Tyrion's intelligence, wit, and whore-mongering. Jaime's nobility, brotherly love, swordmanship, and physical attractiveness. Oberyn's wild temperament. Hints of Bronn and Euron in there. And Ramsay's voice and touch of sadism. Complex indeed.
    It's all Viserys' fault. Made a poor choice picking Alicent. Or maybe it's Jaehaerys' fault for choosing Viserys over Rhaenys because Rhaenys is a woman. But at least Rhaenys is still a dragonrider.
