Viserys walking into the halls, to save his daughter one last time, is the most epic scene. Goosebumps as you feel so sorry for him, yet his presence is so powerful. Hats off to paddy who played him.
Paddy Considine did an amazing performance as King Viserys. I applaud his acting in this series. He will be missed. That being said i will also miss his character Viserys. I dont care if people say he was a weak king, he was a Targaryen who’s coin landed on the good side. He was a good person and such a caring father to Rhaenyra, he truly loved his daughter and protected her.
@@jdlrposh if Viserys had told the truth by removing the inheritance from her daughter, a war for the succession of the throne would have been unleashed. and as king jaehaerys said "only one thing could destroy the dragon dynasty. The dynasty itself"
Viserys coming into that throne room was the highlight of the episode for me. That alone was deserving of an emmy. Ironically King Viserys' strongest moment was when he was literally at his weakest. That walk to the throne room you know had to be the longest walk of his life but he did it for his daughter because she needed her daddy and he showed up.
When Viserys walked through the door, I started crying. He was literally falling apart, but he heard his daughter beg for his help so he mustered everything that he had left in him to do so. You just see the immediate relief wash over Rhaenyra just by seeing him there. He’s not the best King, but he loves Rhaenyra so much, has always supported her happiness and would do anything for her, and Paddy's performance really touched my heart today.
He didn’t care about rest of his kids he only considered her as her only child that is awful he divided the family more and ignored hundred years of customs and made it seem his will was law . Remember Robert Baratheon also named Ned stark as Lord Protector but Cersie said “we have a new king “ same thing gonna happen here.
@@ayanumar3757 It is because he Loved Aema Aryan... The lady hightower never and ever stand in his side and Decisions. Alicent may not be a bad one, but his father is an venomous bastard.
Episode 8 was insanely sad. Everything Viserys wanted was for his family to be happy and united. Even in his dying breaths, this was his only desire. And even still, it breaks apart immediately as he is the only thing that held it together.
That moment of Viserys dropping the crown and Daemon picking it up and helping him onto the throne was the most emotional moment this season with huge difference 😭
That shows that Daemon cared more about his brother than the throne. Back then it just makes clear that Daemon did what he did because he wanted his brother attention, like a childish way.
It was a good moment between them despite there disagreements when it came down to it those two still looked out for each other. It was sad to see viserys like that he was a good man and a good king who only wanted his family to be together.
As a book fan, I feel the depth that Paddy Considine and the writers gave to King Viserys was the most rewarding gift of them all. What a stunning role and performance. I truly hope Paddy wins all the awards possible.
I think the Dance of Dragons really shows how fragile the Targaryen rule was to begin with. Viserys would always be remembered as the King who's decisions ultimately lead to the death of all the dragons, but it was bound to happen at some point. Aegon the conqueror will always be famed for taking over Westeros, but that was the easy job. Actually maintaining rule and passing it to future heirs is the hardest part of the Game of Thrones.
@@w.a.s5819 He was a great politician that united the realm. He was a flawed husband and a pretty bad father tho which led to his houses own avoidable problems. Aegon is actually remembered as the King who killed off the dragons tho. Fair or not. His moniker of Dragons bane was what ppl remembered. Succession isn’t a problem most of the time. But if you’re a weaker king and don’t firmly establish your succession then it makes sense that ppl will put up their own claims for the throne. The realm had a great counsel who’s decision set precedent that woman cannot inherit. So assigning a female heir is going to cause a divide. Many Lords who supported Viserys to his face have no problem siding w/ a male heir if he’s willing to reward them w/ more lands, titles, favor. Viserys choice of Rhaenyra when the Counsel chose him over Rhaenys was terrible politically for him.
@w.a.s5819 Personally I feel Aegon I was the best king of the dynasty. Jaehaerys great as he was in his own right had the luxury of being backed by some of the most powerful lords in lore and most his main enemies being crushed thanks to Maegor's scorched earth policy.
I spent a day in a Hospice with a patient I'd worked with for over a year, he passed away 2 days ago and Paddy's death scene hit me hard. It was an absolutely perfect rendition of someone's final moments. If that man doesn't win awards for this show then a crime has been committed. Absolutely perfect acting. Matt too.
I was thinking tha same. Never have i ever seen on screen depicting the tragedy and realness of the illness and death in such way. I suffered like Vyseris could be my granpa.
Honestly, what literally made me cry the most: When Daemon helped Viserys up the stairs in the throne room, I instantly started crying. It was the first real time we got to see them together where they weren't fighting, or hating each other, where they realized that life is fleeting, and Viserys deserved a not a consort to the king, but a brother in that moment. The other time I cried was when Viserys got but a few fleeting moments of what he thought would be his families finally getting along and turning a new leaf. And knowing the horrors that fell the Valeryons and the Targareyns (I never spell their name right), makes all the more sadder.
I wanted this validation 😪 Bawled my eyes when when looked up to see it was his wayward brother, finally come home. Was feeling silly because I got so emotional
Those who stood by their dying fathers know that Paddy's portrayal was so amazing and believable that it broke our hearts. I know it did mine, it brought back all the memories of my father being eaten alive by cancer. He deserves all the awards on this earth
I am sorry about your dad. I was crying the entire time with Visery´s scenes. The portrayal was so real and human and it also reminded me of seeing cancer take away my own dad. Paddy knock it out of the park with his performance.
Your comment touched me, lost my father to brain cancer and I think that is one of the reasons I was so emotional this episode. Those lucid moments that we want to share in the end
It reminded me a lot of my own father's last weeks. He died on March 10th, 2022, four days after his 83rd birthday. He had dementia, leukemia, and a heart condition possibly caused by side effects of the leukemia medication. He also hit his head during two really bad falls the week before. After the second fall he was barely conscious and did not speak more than single syllable words, but Viserys here reminds me a lot of my father in the time between those two falls, when the in-home-hospice nurses first started administering Morphine (basically milk of the poppy) to keep him calm. He had some more lucid moments during that time, especially compared with the extreme agitation of the prior couple weeks when he would wake me up screaming every couple hours and usually have no idea why once I came to check on him.
I felt the same way. My dad died last year and I was so overwhelmed with emotion during this episode. I was telling myself that my dad went hard for me just like Viserys did for Rhaenyra.
That last supper scene gave me tears! My dad passed away last year. Prior to his death we celebrated his birthday. He had this happy, blissful, and contented expression same way that Viserys had in his last supper. I forever have that memory in my mind and I never thought I'll saw it on TV through Viserys. I was tearing up the whole time, making me remember my dad. Kudos to Paddy!
Oh man I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad a few months ago to cancer - I moved abroad to be with my fiancé last year, so I related to Rhaenyra’s shock after coming home and seeing Viserys like that. Watching the walk to the throne felt like watching my dad fight on to live long enough to see me get married (at least virtually, if not in person), knowing he didn’t have much time left. An Emmy for Paddy is in order, such a visceral, beautiful performance.
I cannot stress enough how much Paddy Considine HAS to get an Emmy. I'm gonna be mourning Viserys for a while. What an amazing character. Credit to both Paddy and the writers for giving so much more character to Viserys' character compared to his one-dimensional book counterpart.
I believe this is exactly what GRRM was referring to when mentioning Paddy's performance. Graceful and impacting acting that complimented the already superb writing.
I honestly almost cried when king health’s deteriorated, he is indeed a king to remember, and also daemon helping his brother with the stairs and putting the crown on top of his head as well was heart touching. reminds me of my dad when I helped walk and stuff when he had cancerous tumor who just passed away recently in June this year. RIP father you will always be remembered and thanks for the memories and being kind to me.
I know everyone talks about Paddys performance (rightfully, well done), but can we appreciate the music played during the most intense and heartwarming scenes? Many of them fit for the scenes perfectly, Ramin is a genius.
That throne room scene was such a masterpiece. It depicted so many subtle nuances. Especially between Daemon and Viserys. Daemon helping him up the last few stairs and placing the crown upon his head shows that despite their differences, Daemon was always true to his brother and his family. Then almost immediately followed by Vaemond's act of treason and Viserys drawing the blade to have Daemon serving as an extension of his hand deliver the swing. Also symbolizing that Daemon was always meant to be hand of the king for Viserys and that he needed somebody who can make the hard choices for him. Viserys' biggest mistake was casting out his brother. All Daemon said to him back in E01 was the truth.
so true, daemon should have been by his side from the beginning. also when he asked for permission to marry rhaenyra, it was the best decision. I loved laenor but he wasn't meant to be rhae's husband, not because of romantic reasons but politically too. he is the reason that rhaenyra facing with problems about her kids right now. If only king could listen Daemon from the beginning. still with his flaws and wrong decisions I love Viserys, he did what he thought the best
Indeed the court scene in episode 8 is a big reference to episode 1 where Viserys cast away Daemon. Had he chosen to believe his brother instead of his hand, things would be different. Viserys never had the power to make tough choices, Daemon could do that for him. Chasing away any threat to the dynasty. In that moment Viserys cut his hand by the throne. Had Daemon remained as his hand, he could save him even from himself.
Paddy Considine as King Viserys was simply amazing! I couldn't imagine anyone else playing this role. The scene where he showed up at the throne room unexpectedly floored me. The love he bore his daughter was fierce and powerful, and I think an extension of the neverending love he held for his true love Aemma. Even on his deathbed, he showed up for Rhaenyra. I think Daemon gained a new respect for Viserys during this scene. After once calling him a weak king, Daemon now began to understand the mental and emotional strength it took to hold a kingdom together. It took more than just brute strength. Viserys mental strength gave him physical strength at a time when no normal human being would have such strength. Daemon could only acknowledge this side of his brother that he never knew. I think he was amazed by it. It was very sad to see Viserys go. I hope Paddy is nominated and wins an award for his performance as King Viserys. This was definitely a tv royalty performance!
he was a horrible father to his other children . and earning respect from murderous petty tyrant daemon is not something to boast about. but paddy considine did a great award worthy job.
Paddy Considine was an absolute BEAST the first 7 episodes but his performance in episode 8 was otherwordly. That scene with him and Emma in the room made me cry like a baby. Changing the character of Viserys meant taking a risk with many of the book readers in the audience but when I say I could have seen no one else play him, I mean it. His depth and humanity, his love for his daughter, the resentment he carried over what happed with Aemma, his conflicting feelings towards his brother and cousin. Hope to see this man be recognised for the immense work he's done. The entire cast haven't let me down one bit and I'm enjoying the show just as much as I did the early seasons of GOT, from the music to the acting, the cinematography, the foreshadowing, the humor... Brilliant work from everyone involved (I'll let those beach scenes slide this once). I can't believe we are only two weeks away from the drought lol perhaps we could get Snow in between seasons of HOTD??🙏🏼
Bruh I cried like a baby when Rhaenyra went to her dad and asked him to defend her and her children. As a papa's girl if I was ever afraid or in trouble, I'd run to my dad to protect me.
Give Paddy all the awards immediately. His performance was beyond amazing. Emotional, powerful. Amazing! The whole cast is flawless, but man Paddy, another lever!
The dinner scene once Jace and Halaena started dancing with music in the back, viserys watching his family altogether for the very last time was just beautiful. I knew right then that this is the most beautiful show I’ve ever seen.
@@eduuvm93 He thought she was Rhaenyra and he was talking about Aegon the Conqueror and the prophecy of Ice and Fire, and Alicent thought he was talking about their son Aegon getting the throne.
Paddy deserves an Emmy for this performance. He will be missed. He encapsulated exactly what King Viserys should be like. Not the best king, but the right man for the job at the moment. You can see the pain and suffering the division of the House has caused throughout his demise.

I lost my father three years ago to cancer. Needless to say, Paddy's performance as Viserys during his final hours struck me hard. Kudos to Paddy and the writers!
i relate to this a lot. it felt so familiar. that one last day of energy to give something to his family. i know its just a tv show, but it was almost painfully parallel to my experience with my mom (also 3 yrs ago). i am sure you have a similar experience, im so sorry, i wish you the best.
I've read the books, so I know how it plays out later on - but seeing Aemond's smirk disappear when Daemon stood infront of him was epic. Fantastic episode, doing the story justice so far!
Going back and rewatching GoT season 1, Aemond is everything Viserys III thought *he* was. It really highlights just how weak and petulant Viserys III was.
@@abloodsplatteredhalo I rewatched GoT about 5 weeks ago, first time watching it through since S8. I totally get what you mean, he was all talk - didn't seem strong in any sense.
they both are too similar, they both adore one another yet feel threatened by each other Aemond is the younger version of Daemond, and they both are on the opposing sides lol even their names are anagram to each other
Never would I have thought that a simple thing like a man entering a room could bring me so much to tears! 😥 R.I.P Viserys and all awards to Paddy Considine!
To me, this episode was for now the best in the whole season. Very emotional and tragic. The scene when Viserys walks in the throne room was so sad and yet so beautiful. Despite all of his faults, this man was a true king. And let's not forget the dinner scene, especially the moment when you can see almost everyone is genuinely having a good time. It really feels like it's the last time before everything comes crashing down. Props to Paddy Considine, his performance simply blew me away for eight episodes straight.
Oh please, he only helped his brother now that he’s in line for the throne and needs his help…and what Daemon did to Vaemond is just awful…striking him from behind like a coward! Daemon is just as despicable as before, he just hides it a bit better now.
This show just keeps getting better and better every week!! Episodes 7 and 8 have been phenomenal and I can't wait to see how Aemond's character develops over the course of the series.
@@Umar_1994_ I noticed that, man. I thought it was a cool touch to add a short scene where Daemon and Aemond looked at each other, didn't say a single word, and then Aemond walked away. I love small details like that. I need to check out The Last Kingdom sometime soon. I've heard it's a really great series.
@@NoahClevinger yeah I think it's a great series, Vikings is better though... the acting of Ragnar Lothbrok in that series beats every other warrior/king in any series...
Aemond has the biggest glow up ever. His appearance is so appealing and badass that when he walk past Daemon, you can feel the tension that this two are gonna get the biggest brawl of the life time
It will be interesting to see which "version" of history the writers canonize when these two dragons fight. Also. I think if the producers of the Harry Potter series had made Draco more like Aemond and less like Jon Snow... that would have been bad-ass.
King Viserys will be missed. Those last few moments left me in stunned silence. Kudos to Paddy Considine because his performance was incredible. The moments where Alicent, Rhaenyra, or Daemon helped Viserys truly tugged my heartstrings

i know. I've lost my elder brother 5 years ago. we were at fight for a long long time but we have found ourselves as brothers who love each other again in his final days.
@@lumbeeman01 for me they are different, got focused on different plot lines, there were more narrative freedoms and the story revolved around the search for justice. instead hotd focuses on a single topic. ambition and power.
Anyone who's ever seen someone take their last breath felt this heartache with Viserys. I just wanted him to pass peacefully and finally let go of the burden he'd carried for too long.
@@chinboy66 besides watching my own father die just recently and over six family members in this same way, I used to work in hospice and watched many people die like this. The last breaths always look like this.
BRAVO to all involved in this episode and the series. The acting is absolutely brilliant. When Viserys walked into that throne room, I burst out crying. And Matt Smith’s mostly silent performance was powerful. Standing ovation! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 ❤
@@Official_KC I'm sure he will, alot of the GOT stars got dozens of big roles after it aired for about 3 years. All the cast in both shows were above professional in their performances, even the kids and considering how Paddy did, I'd say he opened the door big time.
@@gobomladikk5197 I knew that was going to happen because of the animated short, but you should write spoiler alert and hit enter 4 to 5 times before writing a spoiler. You can ruin the fun for some people in the dark by not doing that.
I guess the makers of this learned nothing from the finale of GOT but every episode takes place in the dark.......it's like they're doing it on purpose........turn the fkin lights up!
I believe that when Viserys is talking to Alicent thinking he's actually talking to Rhaenyra, when he mentions the prince that was promised and says "it is you", he's sinking into a prophetic dream and actually seeing Daenerys(thinking it's Rhaenyra, in the prophecy)...
I cried a lot more in this episode than I expected. Viserys wasn’t a perfect king and he made foolish choices sometimes but he was a good one and he tried his hardest to juggle the duties of King and father and brother to the best of his abilities. He had a genuinely good heart. I wept when he hobbled into the throne room like that, all to settle the squabbles himself but I think he mainly did it for Rhaenyra. Paddy did a fabulous job on his whole performance and I applaud him.
A good men and heart makes you not automatically a good king. His actions as a father, grandfather and brother were always guided by emotions, but as a king he should have reacted differently - in many ways. He was actually just as resistant to advice as Joffrey Baratheon.
I don't know why he ONLY supports Rheanyra He has TWO sons.. which by Tradition, should be king after him.. why does he still want a woman to be queen (something that has never happened before) When named Rhaenyra as hier and supported her Bastards kids, he UNKNOWINGLY started the dance of the dragons because Not everyone will agree to it
@@goodmimosa8040 Yes, he could have changed the line of succession. Even after the Dance of the Dragons, this is applied to all-male heirs to the throne, regardless of whether an older daughter is present. But let's face it: Aegon - the eldest son - wasn't born to rule (he's very reminiscent of Joffrey Baratheon). Aemond might still be able - but that would be just as stressful. Since Aemond reminds me too much of Daemon and nobody wanted him as heir to the throne (at least not Otto). I can understand Viserys wanting to keep his promise. Does that make him a good king? No! He should have done things differently years ago in terms of succession to the throne, and he could have removed Rhaenyra - who is at odds with her destiny as heir to the throne - as heir and appointed Aegon. That would most likely have saved a lot of suffering.
Book Viserys was some fat dude who only laughed and drank and smiled. I am so glad that they changed Viserys into a king who deeply cares for his family and the honor of his house
Episode 8 was the most roller coaster ride of emotions of all the episodes by far. The scene when Daemon help Viserys was really a heart warming event and the first time i ever see the two not fighting plus I can see that Daemon despite always arguing with Viserys truly cares for him. Plus the part where Daemond sliced Vaemond's head in half, no husband wants to hear others insulting his wife and his children. ICONIC!
I usually don't rewatch episodes while waiting for the next one but I will make an exception for episode 8. Every scene with Paddy brought tears to my eyes. As so many have already said it, he truly deserves to win the Emmy for his portrayal of Viserys. Another thing, that might just be my opinion: although Ramin Djawadi's work is always exceptional, this was the first episode since the pilot where the music really came through for me. Easily my favourite episode of the season.
Yeah he's a bit of a terrible father and king especially when you consider he has 3 other kids he completely ignores so he can spoil his favorite. Remember when his one son lost an eye and he cared about an insult directed towards his favorite more than his son losing an eye. He's a monster.
@@davidgreen3001 No Rhaenyra's mother was his only true love, he would never let his only child with her fade into obscurity by being married off to a lesser house, his other children were only born out duty, he does care for them.
@@davidgreen3001 lol Aemond deserved it, he was the first one who made a bold move trying to smash a rock on rhaenyra's children. Viserys may be a weak leader but not a bad father. His heir was insulted, and no matter whose the father of rhaenyra's children is, she's still gonna be the queen and has a choice further who she pass the throne to.
@@davidgreen3001 this ain't him 'spoiling' rhaenyra. It's him protecting her from a literal death sentence. His constant strictness regarding the matter is what prevents the rumours from spreading and harming rhaenyra in one or another way.
I would add Rhaenyra actresses both as well. And to be honest, the entire casting has been on point. Even Alicent makes you understand her motives (which is why they say truth is relative) although she's simply wrong in the grand scheme of things and will cause a storm which will last for too much time, until another VIserys, from the same bloodline, will make a final order and bring peace and prosperity to the realm for ages until shit goes south again with Mad King.
My utmost respect to the guy who said "THIS IS SEIZURE! IT IS TREASON, AT THE LEAST!!!" He's probably going to die or be imprisoned, at the least, but that's what makes him so brave. He said the truth even when he knew there would be consequences.
@@MrBruh-fz8or Vaemond just wanted driftmark. With Laena's daughters betrothed to Rhaeneyra's sons he has no right to lead House Velaryon. He was a second son envious and power hungry from the start. Even on the stepstones he wanted to mutiny against his brother and the Prince.
Viserys's love towards his family was so strong to mitigate the huge tensions during the dinner scene. Paddy Considine's acting performance was truly outstanding, you could perceive his soul leaving his body till his last breath. Anyway the show keeps getting better and better and waiting for the next episode keeps getting harder and harder.
Many in UK who've seen Paddy Considine in British shows will know what an incredible actor he is. It's wonderful seeing him get international recognition.
It used to be that anyone who saw Paddy in Dead Man Shoes would rave about him as an actor. Now, it seems, anyone who has saw House of The Dragon, will rave about him as an actor. Paddy to the Emmy: "You're fookin there, mate"
I fucking loved the scene soon before the heath of viserys collapse he saw his family get along together.I think he deserved that ending,he died knowing everything is resolved in the family
Viserys nearly climbing to the throne just to show his absolute support for his daughter and her son’s claim to Driftmark, that was wholesome! This scene broke my heart but he’s such a good dad showing up for his daughter 😭 And then when Viserys stood up to take Vaemond’s tongue, the “don’t worry brother I got this” and head slicing were 🤌🏻 Daemon has always loved his brother and I'm glad they made this scene. Phenomenal casting throughout the season. The strength of Matt Smith’s acting without words, coupled with good writing to create the scene = brilliant. Daemon was portrayed as tender and loving, and yet fierce and dangerous. Wonderful character arc building in this episode. "My Love......" 😭💔😭 Poor Viserys!! His life was truly a tragic one and he loved his first wife and daughter to the very end. Paddy Considine put so much heart into Viserys and truly made us care about him.....well done!! 👏👏👏 LONG LIVE THE KING!! 👑
Paddy Considine absolutely broke my heart through-out. His performance has been amazing and this episode just brew it out the park. I never rewind when doing a first watch but tonight I had to rewind and watch his scene again where he gives his speech at his diner.
As a fan who just finished GOT few weeks ago, I must say House Of Dragon is peak game of thrones and its been increasing in quality per episode. What a amazing episode. The raspy breathing and acting all throughout the episode was breathtaking! Daemon had an epic kill and even cute moment with his brother. Truly amazing.
Do you not notice a big difference in the quality of dialogues between the first 4 seasons of got and house of the dragon? Dont get me wrong. I really like hotd but its doesn't reach the levels of peak game of thrones. Game of thrones was more well written and more suspenseful But obviously its better than seasons 5-8 of game of thrones
@@jimmichalop2330 GOT seasons 1-4 was definitely peak, and it may be too early to say it's at that level yet, however it's getting close. I think it will reach it by the end of the season or by the next season. HOTD is written entirely differently bookwise than GOT, which switches from so many perspectives. I think HOTD is very close in under a season. I understand what you mean though.
Man, I have seen many climaxes but trust me The entry of Viserys and the announcement give chills to spine and Daemon helping him to the throne was the cherry on Cake. A true Dragon.
I swear, seeing that look of wonder, happiness and sadness on Vis's face while watching his family enjoy themselves in his prescence one last time almost had me in tears. Paddy left his mark indelibly on the show and I'll miss him. It's ironic how this single death would nearly destroy his bloodline tho. Can't wait to see.
Paddy Considine blew us all away with his performance. King Viserys will forever be a timeless character due to his love for his family and legacy. The way he defended his daughter and tried to bring peace to his family at dinner was so emotional.
Daemon truly loved hes brother,what he did in that small moment,helping him up the throne,that was the love he bare for his brother,the love that he never spoke or shoe all hes life,but always carying it
hahah... hidden bonus included +10 Strength to the knees +10 Strength of character +10 restoration of memory +10 Power to words spoken Single-use item (can only be equipped once and once removed gives minus one to life).
Unpopular opinion: I really like Alicent, I think she's become my favourite character after viserys. She really appreciated him and remained loyal to him until the end, even with her thoughts about rhaenyra (just talking about alicent in the series, not the books) Also, I absolutely hate the idea of the dance of dragons beginning due to a misunderstanding of viserys words
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I honestly don't understand the hate Alicent gets. She's a complex grey character with her own motives, but so are Rhaenyra and Daemon, yet those are super duper awesome for some reason? And it's admirable how devoted Alicent was to Viserys and his care considering he basically raped her in their marriage (I mean, she clearly only slept with him out of "duty" = because she had no other choice). It only makes sense that she treats that poor maid her damned son raped with kindness and empathy.
I can't tell you how good and underrated this episode is because it got overshadowed by 3 mins of that Rhaenys thing. This had the classic suspense, political intrigue classic AGOAT era Game of thrones vibe. With the bad guys on top!! The coronation sequence was amazing.
When Daemon helped King Viserys to his throne and picking up his crown, I feel at that moment that Otto was not the true hand but all along it was Daemon, he was the true hand in a sense
@@Sweetpotatoeee yeah see i know that Otto planned this all out, he wanted Alicent to marry the King so that Aegon will be King. But more importantly is that Otto would have power, that was his full motive, he wants the Hightower's to rule not the Targaryens
@@fartfacemuldoon5657 the complexities of a character are often lost on you, aren't they? But I shall not judge too harsh, after all, your name is Fart Face
@@paradox9369 The fact that Daemon loved his brother was revealed in episode 2 when he cautioned Corlys Velaryon: "I will speak of my brother as I wish, you may not". But he did not respect him at all. His antics demonstrated it, down to openly courting Rhaenyra at her own wedding feast. I'm not buying this romanticised version of Daemon people are pushing. All his actions point to him being an actual psychopath... including the brutal murder of his wife (later joking about it), and his propensity to giggle at the macabre. Not only would it be inconsistent with the GoT universe, but I don't believe the writers would be so sloppy as to try to redeem such a morally bereft character with a few token gestures.
I love the scene when Rhaenyra plea her father help. It touched me deeply. She was losing her father and she was so lost, she cannot get mad for her father to name her heir and put her in difficult situation (dividing the realm) and at the same time having to carry the prophesy. Such a burden. For the first time, i respect Rhaenyra. People who don’t empathise her calling her a whore just makes me ill.
The death of the king is the most beautiful death scene I have ever scene. ( Beautiful as cinematographed, the way acting was done, the way screenplay was written, it feels authentic. ) It did remind me of death of my father due to cancer in hospital. He used to talk about my future in those last days, try to spend lot time with me. Try to enjoy small things though they were big for me. And i still remember those last few minutes of him asking me to take care of myself and just after few minutes suddenly he passed away. There's something beautiful in death too. I really hope I make him happy with the time I spent with him during those last days. I miss Him.
You can tell when Viserys refused the poppy drink he was going to do something. But when he walked in and sat on the iron throne to stop all the bullshit, I was like he is a baaad man. Hats off King Viserys! You played your part to the highest end! Just epic!
Notice that this is the only time he sits the Throne and isn’t shown to bleed. We know the Throne seems to punish bad decisions and weak rulers, so that was a nice touch to show he was in the right this time.
I'm not going to lie when the king entered the throne room it was so emotional it shows the extent of what a parent would do for their child it's demonstrated unconditional love. Throughout all his pain and suffering he's still hurt the Cry of his daughter and stood up there to protect her. It shows you throughout life circumstances we all get so caught up into our own selves but in the end the most important thing is family. He did amazing performance it almost made me tear up. Also when his daughter was talking to her about her burden and it was a hard one to carry it made me forecast about it was never meant for you to bear in the first place it was meant for Daenerys. But she had the fight for her place to even give the Daenerys to implant a dream but if you want something you have to fight for it to help her believe that anything is possible. In the same for the queen who when she was having a discussion with her cousin it just showed me that this is what her life could have unfolded to. It was just the perv acting all around
All I was saying is if the king daughter didn't go through what she went through the fight for what she believed to be right to be Queen and the queen wasn't didn't go through what she went through they never would have been a legacy for Daenerys to thrive to become Queen
That scene when Viserys entered the throne chamber left me in tears The last roar of the Dragon And when he said he would cut Vaemond's tongue I wholeheartedly believe that, even as crippled as he was, he fucking would..
Daemon has been outstanding as always. Speaks only a few words, but stays true to it. Didn't even hesitate to swing his sword 🗡️☠️ Edit: Beware of spoilers in the reply section
@@GerardEibel lmao spoil it ? Look through the comments and every comments from every other video of the House of Dragons the books have been out for decades.... And i can bet the person I messaged knows too lol
episode 8 was marvellous, in this one they made us connect so deeply with the characters, the story and the whole series, the intentions without the ambition and what could have been without miscommunication. And wow Paddy Considine was amazing, as a protective father and brother, no words. I did cry not only because 1 thing, if not for the whole episode. It´s such a shame what happens next. Bravo HOD
@@faraazkhan5078 That's season one thought, with all the timeskips I think it was the most difficult thing to adapt. Now the Dance will begin, I can't see them completly mess this up so there is awesome things to come.
Viserys walking into the halls, to save his daughter one last time, is the most epic scene. Goosebumps as you feel so sorry for him, yet his presence is so powerful. Hats off to paddy who played him.
I think despite how he looked physically, it was the strongest scene of him in the show. such a brave, strong king with so much love
Its funny because he looked the weakest in this episode, but his presence after being bedridden for so long was absolutely powerful
@@ergoproxy3032 true.
I began to applaud when I saw him walking
I did an audible "ohhh shit" when he entered the room. Plus his half-mask was badass!
Paddy Considine did an amazing performance as King Viserys. I applaud his acting in this series. He will be missed. That being said i will also miss his character Viserys. I dont care if people say he was a weak king, he was a Targaryen who’s coin landed on the good side. He was a good person and such a caring father to Rhaenyra, he truly loved his daughter and protected her.
Yeah absolutely! Paddy Considine even said Viserys was too human to be King, but he is still a legend
@Supriya Mukherjee i mean, dont some parents lie to protect their children 🤷🏻♀️
@@jdlrposh if Viserys had told the truth by removing the inheritance from her daughter, a war for the succession of the throne would have been unleashed. and as king jaehaerys said "only one thing could destroy the dragon dynasty. The dynasty itself"
Nerd
For me, he's actually the best dad and grandfather!
The Dance Begins, fire may regin
The second of his name will reign
Viserys coming into that throne room was the highlight of the episode for me. That alone was deserving of an emmy. Ironically King Viserys' strongest moment was when he was literally at his weakest. That walk to the throne room you know had to be the longest walk of his life but he did it for his daughter because she needed her daddy and he showed up.
It’s biblical
I think it is the moment he was « tested » as he said in earlier episodes.
@@stormbringer2840 I agree. Absolutely.
@@miriammckenzie3977 ?
Exactly 💯
When Viserys walked through the door, I started crying. He was literally falling apart, but he heard his daughter beg for his help so he mustered everything that he had left in him to do so. You just see the immediate relief wash over Rhaenyra just by seeing him there. He’s not the best King, but he loves Rhaenyra so much, has always supported her happiness and would do anything for her, and Paddy's performance really touched my heart today.
Goosebumps
He didn’t care about rest of his kids he only considered her as her only child that is awful he divided the family more and ignored hundred years of customs and made it seem his will was law . Remember Robert Baratheon also named Ned stark as Lord Protector but Cersie said “we have a new king “ same thing gonna happen here.
@@ayanumar3757 But his will is law.. he is the KING you know?
@@ayanumar3757 you seem to forget that a King's word is law.
@@ayanumar3757 It is because he Loved Aema Aryan... The lady hightower never and ever stand in his side and Decisions. Alicent may not be a bad one, but his father is an venomous bastard.
Episode 8 was insanely sad. Everything Viserys wanted was for his family to be happy and united. Even in his dying breaths, this was his only desire. And even still, it breaks apart immediately as he is the only thing that held it together.
it all started when he choose Allisant to be his wife.
Oh well his fault. 🤷♂️
It wasn't dying that broke things apart, as if he was the glue. It was literally his last words.
Yea but that was his last moment and he got to see them all happy. He was content and passed on.
@@mastermoonstone9775 it's not, the woman has desires and ambitious that he can't control
I seriously didn’t expect such a good show after GOT season 8. Really well done and hats off to HBO for bringing these stories to life.
Same
They better not ruin it
The writers are different
They had source material
@@nondominum2233 They had essentially dot points of what happens. The dialog and in-depth characterization were mostly created for the show.
That moment of Viserys dropping the crown and Daemon picking it up and helping him onto the throne was the most emotional moment this season with huge difference 😭
Yes I cried it was sad and beautiful 😢
I cried man! that was brothers love 😭
😭 i know, it was so emotional.
That shows that Daemon cared more about his brother than the throne. Back then it just makes clear that Daemon did what he did because he wanted his brother attention, like a childish way.
It was a good moment between them despite there disagreements when it came down to it those two still looked out for each other. It was sad to see viserys like that he was a good man and a good king who only wanted his family to be together.
As a book fan, I feel the depth that Paddy Considine and the writers gave to King Viserys was the most rewarding gift of them all. What a stunning role and performance. I truly hope Paddy wins all the awards possible.
true, In the book the whole of season one was only a few pages. They did him more than justice.
George said himself he wished he had written him as well as they and paddy have portrayed him in this show.
shut up its not that touching
Yep
Please what's the name of the book?
Visery's dinner speech really hit home for me. Especially when he said "if not for your king, then for this old man." Insanely well done.
I think the Dance of Dragons really shows how fragile the Targaryen rule was to begin with. Viserys would always be remembered as the King who's decisions ultimately lead to the death of all the dragons, but it was bound to happen at some point. Aegon the conqueror will always be famed for taking over Westeros, but that was the easy job. Actually maintaining rule and passing it to future heirs is the hardest part of the Game of Thrones.
Yes. That's why jahaerys is the best targaryen king
@@w.a.s5819 He was a great politician that united the realm. He was a flawed husband and a pretty bad father tho which led to his houses own avoidable problems. Aegon is actually remembered as the King who killed off the dragons tho. Fair or not. His moniker of Dragons bane was what ppl remembered.
Succession isn’t a problem most of the time. But if you’re a weaker king and don’t firmly establish your succession then it makes sense that ppl will put up their own claims for the throne. The realm had a great counsel who’s decision set precedent that woman cannot inherit. So assigning a female heir is going to cause a divide. Many Lords who supported Viserys to his face have no problem siding w/ a male heir if he’s willing to reward them w/ more lands, titles, favor. Viserys choice of Rhaenyra when the Counsel chose him over Rhaenys was terrible politically for him.
@w.a.s5819 Personally I feel Aegon I was the best king of the dynasty. Jaehaerys great as he was in his own right had the luxury of being backed by some of the most powerful lords in lore and most his main enemies being crushed thanks to Maegor's scorched earth policy.
Paddy Considine deserves all the praise in the world for this performance
Duh
Viserys interpretation is insane
Dude is clearly the best actor in the show
Truly he does. Every moment of him on screen I loved. He came across as a true Targaryen king and portrayed it so amazingly.
For real that was something else for sure! The makeup team definitely deserves props on this one too for how decrepit they made him look
Viserys entry on the throne room brought me tears. He also proved that he has the dragon blood and once a dragon always a dragon.
In crippling pain, barely able to walk and still being the king and making a decision. Hard as fuck
Trust me it gave me goosebumps 😩😩😩
Amazing performance!
Same here! He definitely made my eyes water 😢
A truly great Targaryen father, it took a lot of strength plus such great acting by Paddy.
I spent a day in a Hospice with a patient I'd worked with for over a year, he passed away 2 days ago and Paddy's death scene hit me hard. It was an absolutely perfect rendition of someone's final moments. If that man doesn't win awards for this show then a crime has been committed. Absolutely perfect acting. Matt too.
I was thinking tha same. Never have i ever seen on screen depicting the tragedy and realness of the illness and death in such way. I suffered like Vyseris could be my granpa.
i think the same. I saw my father died for cancer and Viserys' scene are so powerfull... I cried.
When the halls opened to King Vicerys and they announced his arrival, I got goosebumps. What an incredible moment
Honestly, what literally made me cry the most: When Daemon helped Viserys up the stairs in the throne room, I instantly started crying. It was the first real time we got to see them together where they weren't fighting, or hating each other, where they realized that life is fleeting, and Viserys deserved a not a consort to the king, but a brother in that moment. The other time I cried was when Viserys got but a few fleeting moments of what he thought would be his families finally getting along and turning a new leaf. And knowing the horrors that fell the Valeryons and the Targareyns (I never spell their name right), makes all the more sadder.
I wanted this validation 😪
Bawled my eyes when when looked up to see it was his wayward brother, finally come home. Was feeling silly because I got so emotional
Everybody laughing around the table, while viserys looks on is what have me a sense of peace.... and dread(knowing it is hotd)
By someone murdered his own wife🤮 ewwwwww
he never hated Daemon, he just couldn't understand him well, viserys wasn't the best king but he was such a good person to the people around him
If you think this has a happy ending, you havent been paying attention.
Those who stood by their dying fathers know that Paddy's portrayal was so amazing and believable that it broke our hearts. I know it did mine, it brought back all the memories of my father being eaten alive by cancer. He deserves all the awards on this earth
I am sorry about your dad.
I was crying the entire time with Visery´s scenes. The portrayal was so real and human and it also reminded me of seeing cancer take away my own dad. Paddy knock it out of the park with his performance.
Same. Brought back memories of watching my father being slowly erased and wasting away from dementia. This episode broke me. So sorry for your loss.
Your comment touched me, lost my father to brain cancer and I think that is one of the reasons I was so emotional this episode. Those lucid moments that we want to share in the end
It reminded me a lot of my own father's last weeks. He died on March 10th, 2022, four days after his 83rd birthday. He had dementia, leukemia, and a heart condition possibly caused by side effects of the leukemia medication. He also hit his head during two really bad falls the week before. After the second fall he was barely conscious and did not speak more than single syllable words, but Viserys here reminds me a lot of my father in the time between those two falls, when the in-home-hospice nurses first started administering Morphine (basically milk of the poppy) to keep him calm. He had some more lucid moments during that time, especially compared with the extreme agitation of the prior couple weeks when he would wake me up screaming every couple hours and usually have no idea why once I came to check on him.
I felt the same way. My dad died last year and I was so overwhelmed with emotion during this episode. I was telling myself that my dad went hard for me just like Viserys did for Rhaenyra.
Damn Lizardman has come a long way!
That last supper scene gave me tears! My dad passed away last year. Prior to his death we celebrated his birthday. He had this happy, blissful, and contented expression same way that Viserys had in his last supper. I forever have that memory in my mind and I never thought I'll saw it on TV through Viserys. I was tearing up the whole time, making me remember my dad. Kudos to Paddy!
Oh man I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad a few months ago to cancer - I moved abroad to be with my fiancé last year, so I related to Rhaenyra’s shock after coming home and seeing Viserys like that. Watching the walk to the throne felt like watching my dad fight on to live long enough to see me get married (at least virtually, if not in person), knowing he didn’t have much time left.
An Emmy for Paddy is in order, such a visceral, beautiful performance.
Aemond's casting absolutely brilliant and I can't wait for him to shine that sapphire eye baby!
I cannot stress enough how much Paddy Considine HAS to get an Emmy. I'm gonna be mourning Viserys for a while. What an amazing character. Credit to both Paddy and the writers for giving so much more character to Viserys' character compared to his one-dimensional book counterpart.
Same I wished they could have kept him around longer then one season.
Bob Odenkirk clears
Okay but if it’s between him and Bob Odenkirk I might just kms instead of deciding
literally 👏🏾
I believe this is exactly what GRRM was referring to when mentioning Paddy's performance. Graceful and impacting acting that complimented the already superb writing.
Paddy Considine better win an Emmy for his performance. Unbelievable job.
i think the same
Omg I was sobbing damn near the whole episode!!!
The way he walked in to take a seat on the Iron Throne was so unexpected, great acting.
He was outstanding but bob odenkirk will win (deservedly)
Concordo
I honestly almost cried when king health’s deteriorated, he is indeed a king to remember, and also daemon helping his brother with the stairs and putting the crown on top of his head as well was heart touching. reminds me of my dad when I helped walk and stuff when he had cancerous tumor who just passed away recently in June this year. RIP father you will always be remembered and thanks for the memories and being kind to me.
Pathetic
I know everyone talks about Paddys performance (rightfully, well done), but can we appreciate the music played during the most intense and heartwarming scenes?
Many of them fit for the scenes perfectly, Ramin is a genius.
That throne room scene was such a masterpiece. It depicted so many subtle nuances. Especially between Daemon and Viserys. Daemon helping him up the last few stairs and placing the crown upon his head shows that despite their differences, Daemon was always true to his brother and his family. Then almost immediately followed by Vaemond's act of treason and Viserys drawing the blade to have Daemon serving as an extension of his hand deliver the swing. Also symbolizing that Daemon was always meant to be hand of the king for Viserys and that he needed somebody who can make the hard choices for him. Viserys' biggest mistake was casting out his brother. All Daemon said to him back in E01 was the truth.
I didn’t notice the king go for his blade. That makes what Daemon did all the more powerful as you say. Wow. Brilliant!
By casting he's brother aside he let a snake weasel it's way in
so true, daemon should have been by his side from the beginning. also when he asked for permission to marry rhaenyra, it was the best decision. I loved laenor but he wasn't meant to be rhae's husband, not because of romantic reasons but politically too. he is the reason that rhaenyra facing with problems about her kids right now. If only king could listen Daemon from the beginning. still with his flaws and wrong decisions I love Viserys, he did what he thought the best
@@ergoproxy3032 daemon js a grom3er and cheats on her with underage teenagers lool
Indeed the court scene in episode 8 is a big reference to episode 1 where Viserys cast away Daemon. Had he chosen to believe his brother instead of his hand, things would be different. Viserys never had the power to make tough choices, Daemon could do that for him. Chasing away any threat to the dynasty. In that moment Viserys cut his hand by the throne. Had Daemon remained as his hand, he could save him even from himself.
Paddy Considine as King Viserys was simply amazing! I couldn't imagine anyone else playing this role. The scene where he showed up at the throne room unexpectedly floored me. The love he bore his daughter was fierce and powerful, and I think an extension of the neverending love he held for his true love Aemma. Even on his deathbed, he showed up for Rhaenyra. I think Daemon gained a new respect for Viserys during this scene. After once calling him a weak king, Daemon now began to understand the mental and emotional strength it took to hold a kingdom together. It took more than just brute strength. Viserys mental strength gave him physical strength at a time when no normal human being would have such strength. Daemon could only acknowledge this side of his brother that he never knew. I think he was amazed by it. It was very sad to see Viserys go. I hope Paddy is nominated and wins an award for his performance as King Viserys. This was definitely a tv royalty performance!
❤️❤️❤️
Damn well said
I wanted one moment between Viserys and Daemon seperately. Brother's love 😭
he was a horrible father to his other children . and earning respect from murderous petty tyrant daemon is not something to boast about.
but paddy considine did a great award worthy job.
i agree. The scene where Daemon helped him to the throne, and gave him the crown just floored me.
King Viserys is honestly the best dad in westeros 😭. Seeing him come through for his daughter was so moving.
😂
A good father doesn’t overlook his other children lol
Worst father
Paddy Considine was an absolute BEAST the first 7 episodes but his performance in episode 8 was otherwordly. That scene with him and Emma in the room made me cry like a baby. Changing the character of Viserys meant taking a risk with many of the book readers in the audience but when I say I could have seen no one else play him, I mean it. His depth and humanity, his love for his daughter, the resentment he carried over what happed with Aemma, his conflicting feelings towards his brother and cousin. Hope to see this man be recognised for the immense work he's done. The entire cast haven't let me down one bit and I'm enjoying the show just as much as I did the early seasons of GOT, from the music to the acting, the cinematography, the foreshadowing, the humor... Brilliant work from everyone involved (I'll let those beach scenes slide this once). I can't believe we are only two weeks away from the drought lol perhaps we could get Snow in between seasons of HOTD??🙏🏼
Are you sure snow will be coming out or its just a fake new
Bruh I cried like a baby when Rhaenyra went to her dad and asked him to defend her and her children. As a papa's girl if I was ever afraid or in trouble, I'd run to my dad to protect me.
Give Paddy all the awards immediately. His performance was beyond amazing. Emotional, powerful. Amazing! The whole cast is flawless, but man Paddy, another lever!

Teared up knowing what is to come - such a beautiful scene where you hope this broken family becomes hole again.
His calm. Before the storm.
u people are on some high copium
Jace could be Helaena's husband if Alicent had accepted Reanyra's offer...
Good that was the last thing he saw from his family
Crazy how Alicent and Rhaenyra looked to be on the mend, then Viserys blows it up in his own confusion before dying. Great twist they created
That was such a good twist honestly, a honest mistake starts the war

Paddy deserves an Emmy for this performance. He will be missed. He encapsulated exactly what King Viserys should be like. Not the best king, but the right man for the job at the moment. You can see the pain and suffering the division of the House has caused throughout his demise.
What Paddy Considine went on and did in S1E8 of House Of Dragons can't never be undone. A performance worth an Emmy award, simply outstanding 🙌🏾
His acting in this episode alone worth many awards

I lost my father three years ago to cancer. Needless to say, Paddy's performance as Viserys during his final hours struck me hard. Kudos to Paddy and the writers!
i relate to this a lot. it felt so familiar. that one last day of energy to give something to his family. i know its just a tv show, but it was almost painfully parallel to my experience with my mom (also 3 yrs ago). i am sure you have a similar experience, im so sorry, i wish you the best.
My father died too through cancer
Same. My father died two years ago from cancer and Viserys' final moments reminded me so much of his ones. Ep 8 had me in tears almost the entire time
I lost my father to cancer last year and Viserys really reminded me of that time in this episode
Same feeling for me. I felt that one. Even the final moment was so similar. 🙏
I've read the books, so I know how it plays out later on - but seeing Aemond's smirk disappear when Daemon stood infront of him was epic. Fantastic episode, doing the story justice so far!
Going back and rewatching GoT season 1, Aemond is everything Viserys III thought *he* was. It really highlights just how weak and petulant Viserys III was.
@@abloodsplatteredhalo I rewatched GoT about 5 weeks ago, first time watching it through since S8. I totally get what you mean, he was all talk - didn't seem strong in any sense.
they both are too similar, they both adore one another yet feel threatened by each other
Aemond is the younger version of Daemond, and they both are on the opposing sides
lol even their names are anagram to each other
When?
Never would I have thought that a simple thing like a man entering a room could bring me so much to tears! 😥
R.I.P Viserys and all awards to Paddy Considine!
To me, this episode was for now the best in the whole season. Very emotional and tragic. The scene when Viserys walks in the throne room was so sad and yet so beautiful. Despite all of his faults, this man was a true king. And let's not forget the dinner scene, especially the moment when you can see almost everyone is genuinely having a good time. It really feels like it's the last time before everything comes crashing down.
Props to Paddy Considine, his performance simply blew me away for eight episodes straight.
Ep7 and 8 were masterclass episodes, heck I wouldn't hesitate to claim them a part of best episodes of television in the last decade
@@sallgoodman5546 You havent watched much then
Theres always one guy
Daemon is really stepping it up, I love how he helped his brother, defended his wife and step up for his kids. A man of few words that speaks volumes.
I defiantely enjoyed when aemond was looking at him thinking about it before walking off
@@kylegareau9238 that was great, it’s like he was looking at a younger version of himself and letting him know he’s the og
He made Will Smith look like a saint. Not a slap...a beheading 😮
Why are Daemon and Aemond so similar to one another???
Both are second sons, both are murderers, both are kinslayers…what the hell?
Oh please, he only helped his brother now that he’s in line for the throne and needs his help…and what Daemon did to Vaemond is just awful…striking him from behind like a coward! Daemon is just as despicable as before, he just hides it a bit better now.
This show just keeps getting better and better every week!! Episodes 7 and 8 have been phenomenal and I can't wait to see how Aemond's character develops over the course of the series.
Aemond is a young and wilder Daemond in the making. The actor is in the series the Last Kingdom, great there too.
@@Umar_1994_ I noticed that, man. I thought it was a cool touch to add a short scene where Daemon and Aemond looked at each other, didn't say a single word, and then Aemond walked away. I love small details like that. I need to check out The Last Kingdom sometime soon. I've heard it's a really great series.
@@NoahClevinger yeah I think it's a great series, Vikings is better though... the acting of Ragnar Lothbrok in that series beats every other warrior/king in any series...
Aemond has the biggest glow up ever. His appearance is so appealing and badass that when he walk past Daemon, you can feel the tension that this two are gonna get the biggest brawl of the life time
And what a fight it would be, looking forward to it
Yeah bout thatt…..
It will be interesting to see which "version" of history the writers canonize when these two dragons fight.
Also. I think if the producers of the Harry Potter series had made Draco more like Aemond and less like Jon Snow... that would have been bad-ass.

Made me cry multiple times this episode. Paddy deserves an emmy. The rest right after him. If only there were enough awards!
I thought I was the only one! Paddy deserves the world 💕
@@vegasblackfyre facts
I shed many a tear as well. Especially at him smiling at the dinner table watching his family so happy. What an episode!
In my opinion, this is the best show 2022. All the actors deserve an emmy
King Viserys will be missed. Those last few moments left me in stunned silence. Kudos to Paddy Considine because his performance was incredible. The moments where Alicent, Rhaenyra, or Daemon helped Viserys truly tugged my heartstrings
The throne scene popping off I’m destroyed by this one😂😂😂
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
Can't wait to see more of ewan Mitchell as Aemond 🔥🔥
As a mom of two boys, Paddy and Matt's scene at the throne made me cry. That's loyalty between brothers!
i know. I've lost my elder brother 5 years ago. we were at fight for a long long time but we have found ourselves as brothers who love each other again in his final days.
the hype (and anxiety) I feel waiting a week for a new episode I haven't felt since game of thrones, this show is SO good
Yea it's incredible to watch after being disappointed by the other of rings of power show.
It is a pale imitation of the original.
@@daenerystargaryen6302 Way better than being stabbed in the heart
@@daenerystargaryen6302 Umm no lol, this is as equally good if not better than the original.
@@lumbeeman01 for me they are different, got focused on different plot lines, there were more narrative freedoms and the story revolved around the search for justice. instead hotd focuses on a single topic. ambition and power.
Anyone who's ever seen someone take their last breath felt this heartache with Viserys. I just wanted him to pass peacefully and finally let go of the burden he'd carried for too long.
It was actually very accurate to the real thing. I've seen too many.
This episode was really sad
@@JoshStreetDesign a little too real. I felt my stomach turn in memory of my grandpa. This man deserves an Emmy for that performance
@@JoshStreetDesign the fuck it was. They all look somewhat different depending on the circumstances and if you’ve seen too many you would know that
@@chinboy66 besides watching my own father die just recently and over six family members in this same way, I used to work in hospice and watched many people die like this. The last breaths always look like this.
The throne room scene with Viserys returning to the throne was a powerful one. It showed that even a dying dragon is still a dragon.
BRAVO to all involved in this episode and the series. The acting is absolutely brilliant. When Viserys walked into that throne room, I burst out crying. And Matt Smith’s mostly silent performance was powerful. Standing ovation! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 ❤
What an epic, moving and unforgettable performance by Paddy Considine, he will be missed.
I 💯 agree with you. I can't think of any other actors who could've played king viserys's role like paddy did.
I hope this means he finally gets some recognition for bigger roles. The man has been killing it for years now!
@@Official_KC I'm sure he will, alot of the GOT stars got dozens of big roles after it aired for about 3 years.
All the cast in both shows were above professional in their performances, even the kids and considering how Paddy did, I'd say he opened the door big time.
jeez don't say it as if the actor himself was dead
The tension witnessed between Aemond and Daemon this episode has me sooo excited to see everything unfold
I need to see there last fight daemon slamming his sword through his head on dragon-back is gonna be fucking rad

@@srinivasrao371 I remind you that the book is only a historical account written by the winners, very little biased LOL
@@alexistogni5499 written by a Maester of Oldtown, same place that supported the Greens.
I guess the makers of this learned nothing from the finale of GOT but every episode takes place in the dark.......it's like they're doing it on purpose........turn the fkin lights up!
I believe that when Viserys is talking to Alicent thinking he's actually talking to Rhaenyra, when he mentions the prince that was promised and says "it is you", he's sinking into a prophetic dream and actually seeing Daenerys(thinking it's Rhaenyra, in the prophecy)...
I cried a lot more in this episode than I expected. Viserys wasn’t a perfect king and he made foolish choices sometimes but he was a good one and he tried his hardest to juggle the duties of King and father and brother to the best of his abilities. He had a genuinely good heart. I wept when he hobbled into the throne room like that, all to settle the squabbles himself but I think he mainly did it for Rhaenyra. Paddy did a fabulous job on his whole performance and I applaud him.
He was a good man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A good men and heart makes you not automatically a good king. His actions as a father, grandfather and brother were always guided by emotions, but as a king he should have reacted differently - in many ways. He was actually just as resistant to advice as Joffrey Baratheon.
I don't know why he ONLY supports Rheanyra
He has TWO sons.. which by Tradition, should be king after him.. why does he still want a woman to be queen (something that has never happened before)
When named Rhaenyra as hier and supported her Bastards kids, he UNKNOWINGLY started the dance of the dragons because Not everyone will agree to it
@@goodmimosa8040 Yes, he could have changed the line of succession. Even after the Dance of the Dragons, this is applied to all-male heirs to the throne, regardless of whether an older daughter is present. But let's face it: Aegon - the eldest son - wasn't born to rule (he's very reminiscent of Joffrey Baratheon). Aemond might still be able - but that would be just as stressful. Since Aemond reminds me too much of Daemon and nobody wanted him as heir to the throne (at least not Otto). I can understand Viserys wanting to keep his promise. Does that make him a good king? No!
He should have done things differently years ago in terms of succession to the throne, and he could have removed Rhaenyra - who is at odds with her destiny as heir to the throne - as heir and appointed Aegon. That would most likely have saved a lot of suffering.
@@goodmimosa8040 Prophecy. It has to be his and his 1st wife's line so Rheanyra line must continue as it did in the books
Paddy Considine will be so deeply missed. What an amazing actor. ♥️
Its only Viserys that died, they dont method act that hard i hope
@@tonttu7979 🤣 you know what I meant
Book Viserys was some fat dude who only laughed and drank and smiled. I am so glad that they changed Viserys into a king who deeply cares for his family and the honor of his house
Episode 8 was the most roller coaster ride of emotions of all the episodes by far. The scene when Daemon help Viserys was really a heart warming event and the first time i ever see the two not fighting plus I can see that Daemon despite always arguing with Viserys truly cares for him. Plus the part where Daemond sliced Vaemond's head in half, no husband wants to hear others insulting his wife and his children. ICONIC!
wonder why he insults his first wife lmao
I usually don't rewatch episodes while waiting for the next one but I will make an exception for episode 8. Every scene with Paddy brought tears to my eyes. As so many have already said it, he truly deserves to win the Emmy for his portrayal of Viserys. Another thing, that might just be my opinion: although Ramin Djawadi's work is always exceptional, this was the first episode since the pilot where the music really came through for me. Easily my favourite episode of the season.
The way Viserys stood up for his daughter one last time 🥺❤️
Yeah he's a bit of a terrible father and king especially when you consider he has 3 other kids he completely ignores so he can spoil his favorite. Remember when his one son lost an eye and he cared about an insult directed towards his favorite more than his son losing an eye. He's a monster.
@@davidgreen3001 No Rhaenyra's mother was his only true love, he would never let his only child with her fade into obscurity by being married off to a lesser house, his other children were only born out duty, he does care for them.
@@davidgreen3001 lol Aemond deserved it, he was the first one who made a bold move trying to smash a rock on rhaenyra's children. Viserys may be a weak leader but not a bad father. His heir was insulted, and no matter whose the father of rhaenyra's children is, she's still gonna be the queen and has a choice further who she pass the throne to.
If only Aemma was there❤🩹
@@davidgreen3001 this ain't him 'spoiling' rhaenyra. It's him protecting her from a literal death sentence. His constant strictness regarding the matter is what prevents the rumours from spreading and harming rhaenyra in one or another way.
Paddy and Matt are the best things that ever happened to this franchise. Superb performance through and through!
I would add Rhaenyra actresses both as well. And to be honest, the entire casting has been on point. Even Alicent makes you understand her motives (which is why they say truth is relative) although she's simply wrong in the grand scheme of things and will cause a storm which will last for too much time, until another VIserys, from the same bloodline, will make a final order and bring peace and prosperity to the realm for ages until shit goes south again with Mad King.
How are you ignoring all the amazing female actresses along side those two?? Whose performances are the foundation of the show.
@@cliveklg7739 Right??
Olivia's performance is way more powerful than Matt's, what are you talking about
How can you ignore Alicent's actress, she's incredible
NOOO ALICENT NOT THAT AEGON
My utmost respect to the guy who said "THIS IS SEIZURE! IT IS TREASON, AT THE LEAST!!!" He's probably going to die or be imprisoned, at the least, but that's what makes him so brave. He said the truth even when he knew there would be consequences.
Vaemond also told the truth , Westeros isn't kind to truthfull people
@@MrBruh-fz8or Vaemond just wanted driftmark. With Laena's daughters betrothed to Rhaeneyra's sons he has no right to lead House Velaryon.
He was a second son envious and power hungry from the start. Even on the stepstones he wanted to mutiny against his brother and the Prince.
Viserys's love towards his family was so strong to mitigate the huge tensions during the dinner scene. Paddy Considine's acting performance was truly outstanding, you could perceive his soul leaving his body till his last breath. Anyway the show keeps getting better and better and waiting for the next episode keeps getting harder and harder.
love towards his family ? because u showed no love for alicents kids just his daughter and her bastards
Notice that the children fought at the end of dinner, right after he left
Many in UK who've seen Paddy Considine in British shows will know what an incredible actor he is. It's wonderful seeing him get international recognition.
It used to be that anyone who saw Paddy in Dead Man Shoes would rave about him as an actor. Now, it seems, anyone who has saw House of The Dragon, will rave about him as an actor.
Paddy to the Emmy: "You're fookin there, mate"
100% agree. I saw him in Blitz the other day. He's great in that too.
I fucking loved the scene soon before the heath of viserys collapse he saw his family get along together.I think he deserved that ending,he died knowing everything is resolved in the family
Hope we get a good long action scene. That's enough chit chat for now.
Ep 10
Season 2 will be full of battle's if they follow the book
How to tell you're low iq without saying it
Chit chat is the best
The opposite
Viserys nearly climbing to the throne just to show his absolute support for his daughter and her son’s claim to Driftmark, that was wholesome! This scene broke my heart but he’s such a good dad showing up for his daughter 😭 And then when Viserys stood up to take Vaemond’s tongue, the “don’t worry brother I got this” and head slicing were 🤌🏻
Daemon has always loved his brother and I'm glad they made this scene. Phenomenal casting throughout the season. The strength of Matt Smith’s acting without words, coupled with good writing to create the scene = brilliant. Daemon was portrayed as tender and loving, and yet fierce and dangerous. Wonderful character arc building in this episode. "My Love......" 😭💔😭 Poor Viserys!! His life was truly a tragic one and he loved his first wife and daughter to the very end. Paddy Considine put so much heart into Viserys and truly made us care about him.....well done!! 👏👏👏
LONG LIVE THE KING!! 👑
LONG LIVE THE KING!
LONG LIVE THE KING !!!
Lmfao you copied half this paragraph off of someone else 🤣 what a sad life U must have
I guess Viserys last words "My Love" were either directed to Raehnyra or his first wife.
@@iKnyx his first wife I think
Paddy Considine absolutely broke my heart through-out. His performance has been amazing and this episode just brew it out the park. I never rewind when doing a first watch but tonight I had to rewind and watch his scene again where he gives his speech at his diner.
RIP

Love everything about the show except how dark the picture is. You can’t see anything in the background.
As a fan who just finished GOT few weeks ago, I must say House Of Dragon is peak game of thrones and its been increasing in quality per episode. What a amazing episode. The raspy breathing and acting all throughout the episode was breathtaking! Daemon had an epic kill and even cute moment with his brother. Truly amazing.
Do you not notice a big difference in the quality of dialogues between the first 4 seasons of got and house of the dragon?
Dont get me wrong. I really like hotd but its doesn't reach the levels of peak game of thrones. Game of thrones was more well written and more suspenseful
But obviously its better than seasons 5-8 of game of thrones
@@jimmichalop2330 GOT seasons 1-4 was definitely peak, and it may be too early to say it's at that level yet, however it's getting close. I think it will reach it by the end of the season or by the next season. HOTD is written entirely differently bookwise than GOT, which switches from so many perspectives. I think HOTD is very close in under a season. I understand what you mean though.
this is a big of a stretch
@@jimmichalop2330 yeah same, it's nowhere near the level of the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones, but still way better than the later seasons so
Not even close to how good season 1 GoT was. You're grasping.
Man, I have seen many climaxes but trust me The entry of Viserys and the announcement give chills to spine and Daemon helping him to the throne was the cherry on Cake. A true Dragon.
Viserys was my fav on the show now he died. Felt so sorry for him this episode
It would be crazy if Viserys would still be alive. At this point he would literally look like white walker.
I swear, seeing that look of wonder, happiness and sadness on Vis's face while watching his family enjoy themselves in his prescence one last time almost had me in tears. Paddy left his mark indelibly on the show and I'll miss him.
It's ironic how this single death would nearly destroy his bloodline tho. Can't wait to see.
"I will sit on the throne today" reminds Otto that he is a mere hand. That scene was powerful
Pure goosebumps for me when king came inside the throne room to support his daughter and his sister in episode 8🤩❤️🔥
@bowen voowy yeah true🥁✌️
How is this show just getting better and better every episode?
that's generally the idea with shows like this....
Paddy Considine blew us all away with his performance. King Viserys will forever be a timeless character due to his love for his family and legacy. The way he defended his daughter and tried to bring peace to his family at dinner was so emotional.
Paddy considine is almost as incredible as the make up crew that turned him into a zombie in ep 8. Fantastic work from everyone involved

Unpopular opinion:
I really like Alicent, I think she's become my favourite character after viserys. She really appreciated him and remained loyal to him until the end, even with her thoughts about rhaenyra (just talking about alicent in the series, not the books)
Also, I absolutely hate the idea of the dance of dragons beginning due to a misunderstanding of viserys words
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I honestly don't understand the hate Alicent gets. She's a complex grey character with her own motives, but so are Rhaenyra and Daemon, yet those are super duper awesome for some reason? And it's admirable how devoted Alicent was to Viserys and his care considering he basically raped her in their marriage (I mean, she clearly only slept with him out of "duty" = because she had no other choice). It only makes sense that she treats that poor maid her damned son raped with kindness and empathy.
I can't tell you how good and underrated this episode is because it got overshadowed by 3 mins of that Rhaenys thing. This had the classic suspense, political intrigue classic AGOAT era Game of thrones vibe. With the bad guys on top!! The coronation sequence was amazing.
paddy considine is such an amazing actor, the emotion and love he put into his last performance was phenomenal. 10/10
When Daemon helped King Viserys to his throne and picking up his crown, I feel at that moment that Otto was not the true hand but all along it was Daemon, he was the true hand in a sense
I thought the same thing! Look at how Otto looks at King Viserys when he shows up…
@@Sweetpotatoeee yeah see i know that Otto planned this all out, he wanted Alicent to marry the King so that Aegon will be King. But more importantly is that Otto would have power, that was his full motive, he wants the Hightower's to rule not the Targaryens
Daemon was a perpetual thorn in his brother's side. He played nice to get what he wanted.
@@fartfacemuldoon5657 the complexities of a character are often lost on you, aren't they? But I shall not judge too harsh, after all, your name is Fart Face
@@paradox9369 The fact that Daemon loved his brother was revealed in episode 2 when he cautioned Corlys Velaryon: "I will speak of my brother as I wish, you may not". But he did not respect him at all. His antics demonstrated it, down to openly courting Rhaenyra at her own wedding feast.
I'm not buying this romanticised version of Daemon people are pushing. All his actions point to him being an actual psychopath... including the brutal murder of his wife (later joking about it), and his propensity to giggle at the macabre. Not only would it be inconsistent with the GoT universe, but I don't believe the writers would be so sloppy as to try to redeem such a morally bereft character with a few token gestures.
I love the scene when Rhaenyra plea her father help. It touched me deeply. She was losing her father and she was so lost, she cannot get mad for her father to name her heir and put her in difficult situation (dividing the realm) and at the same time having to carry the prophesy. Such a burden. For the first time, i respect Rhaenyra. People who don’t empathise her calling her a whore just makes me ill.
The death of the king is the most beautiful death scene I have ever scene. ( Beautiful as cinematographed, the way acting was done, the way screenplay was written, it feels authentic. )
It did remind me of death of my father due to cancer in hospital. He used to talk about my future in those last days, try to spend lot time with me. Try to enjoy small things though they were big for me. And i still remember those last few minutes of him asking me to take care of myself and just after few minutes suddenly he passed away. There's something beautiful in death too. I really hope I make him happy with the time I spent with him during those last days. I miss Him.
You can tell when Viserys refused the poppy drink he was going to do something. But when he walked in and sat on the iron throne to stop all the bullshit, I was like he is a baaad man. Hats off King Viserys! You played your part to the highest end! Just epic!
Notice that this is the only time he sits the Throne and isn’t shown to bleed. We know the Throne seems to punish bad decisions and weak rulers, so that was a nice touch to show he was in the right this time.
I'm not going to lie when the king entered the throne room it was so emotional it shows the extent of what a parent would do for their child it's demonstrated unconditional love. Throughout all his pain and suffering he's still hurt the Cry of his daughter and stood up there to protect her. It shows you throughout life circumstances we all get so caught up into our own selves but in the end the most important thing is family. He did amazing performance it almost made me tear up. Also when his daughter was talking to her about her burden and it was a hard one to carry it made me forecast about it was never meant for you to bear in the first place it was meant for Daenerys. But she had the fight for her place to even give the Daenerys to implant a dream but if you want something you have to fight for it to help her believe that anything is possible. In the same for the queen who when she was having a discussion with her cousin it just showed me that this is what her life could have unfolded to. It was just the perv acting all around
The prophecy I’m pretty sure fell to Jon
Wtf are you talking about Daenerys.
All I was saying is if the king daughter didn't go through what she went through the fight for what she believed to be right to be Queen and the queen wasn't didn't go through what she went through they never would have been a legacy for Daenerys to thrive to become Queen
Unconditionnal stupidity, now a honest man (Vaemond) is dead.
"He told me he wished for Aegon to be king" so this is how it starts with Alicent being a dummy
Olivia is simply amazing
That scene when Viserys entered the throne chamber left me in tears
The last roar of the Dragon
And when he said he would cut Vaemond's tongue I wholeheartedly believe that, even as crippled as he was, he fucking would..
Daemon has been outstanding as always. Speaks only a few words, but stays true to it. Didn't even hesitate to swing his sword 🗡️☠️
