GRRM messaged Paddy after the episode to congratulate him on his portrayal of Viserys, to which he admits is better than his book version. Well done, Paddy! All Hail King Viserys, First of His Name 👑
If you’ve read the book, in it, Viserys was sort of meh. He was a good king, but not noteworthy of much other than declaring Rheynera heir instead of his son. Most tall was about Alicent and Rhey Rhey. During this watch I went from “Oh, Paddy is playing him well” to “Holy shit, Paddy is making Viserys far more notable, regal and complex than the books made him out to be.” To “God damn, I can’t stop crying.” Masterful performance.
The stare off between Daemon and Aemond was so good!! Matt doesn't need to say a word to have the most powerful presence and you can see Aemond respects him and is imressed
@@sanjaysanj5603 It can be both. Afterall, Daemon never gets involved in this stuff, he usually sits back and watches it go down. The fact he stopped Jayce attacking Aemond shows that on some level, he knows how dangerous he is.
I don't think i've ever gotten teared up from game of thrones before. I did on that part though! If anyone's had a broken up family before and had that one grandparent that always tried to fix things, they might get hit different from the scene.
@@KuinaDCMA it was sooo riveting. one of the most powerful moments i've ever filmed. lol. I'll pop some of it into the NEXT ON trailer react later in the week.
@@anon8079 Why is that always the response everytime someone expresses they like Amond? Are we not allowed to like a character because they're gonna die eventualy or what?
@@jeffandjoannbauer9567 well, maybe.. but Paddy does get top billing in the series, so I think he would be considered lead actor of an ensemble . But then again, the show "follows" Rhaenyra more than anyone else so.. who can say
Evan Peters and Dahmer are for sure in the limited series/documentary category. House of the Dragon is in Drama category. I believe Bob Odenkirk will be his biggest rival
The way everyone just stood silent after the episode was over just say how good paddy was. His Viserys was the better it could be and will be missed for sure. Viserys once asked if he was a king worth of a song, I’m not so sure if he was, but paddy’s acting is.
At the very least he held together what Jaehaerys I created. It's a shame he's remembered so poorly, mostly because of the actions of his family and court.
@@DefaultName-du3kr I’m in the middle of the first book so what I said is with what I’ve seen from the series that’s why I used “I’m not sure”. I’m kinda curious to get asap in the book about the Targaryens, I feel like now having this background the journey will be even more emotional and I’m excited to read more about Viserys.
@@luisjosp5 - Right? 😄 Daemon was so chill about it. In truth, he could have taken on all of those Kingsguard if they had dared actually try. Daemon is one of the best swordsmen in Westerosi history.
@@KabbalahSherry No way he beats 7 of the best knights in the realm. Ser Criston alone is a very tough opponent against Daemon both on the show and in the books he defeats Daemon on more than one occasion. Daemon would've fell faster than we could blink if he fought them.
@@KabbalahSherry Nah nigga... if criston Cole was there daemon would be out on his ass... and if aemond fought daemon 1 on 1... man o man would daemon get destroyed
@@swervo6660 Nigga if daemon turns around to showboat... that's his problem... everyone of you goofy ahh daemon fanboys are clowns 🤡... if someone has their back turned mid fight, they lose. Cole beat him fair and square
I love how Daemon just stands there and stares at Aemond. It's almost he's saying "there's only room for one crazy relative in this family and nothing can beat the original" as well as looking inward with that smirk, kinda seeing himself in his nephew
They hate Aemond because he claimed their mother's dragon, and their cousins defended them.. So yeah, they were happy to screw the king's sons joy haha.
@@TheRAH14 Their mother's funeral took place weeks after her death and dumb Rheana left the biggest dragon unclaimed for that long! They made a stupid emotional decision and the price was losing Vhagar. Wonderful.
I love the crowds silence at the end when the credits rolled, you could tell everyone was absolutely floored by that episode and Paddy's outstanding performance. This has to be one of my favourite episodes in Game of Thrones history, I honestly haven't felt raw emotion like that since the Red Wedding. You know the writers and actors are doing something right when we feel so much tragic emotion for King Viserys after only 8 episodes. Give Paddy Considine an Emmy now!
This episode triggered me. I watched my mom get frail from cancer and Viserys reminded me of her. She couldn't walk and I had to help her use the bathroom. She also fell and broke her back/ had a spine injury, so for nearly 2 years she was taking painkillers just numb the pain of the surgery. She died 1/20/22. Miss you mom.
The word "ain't" should've come before "you", not the other way around. I don't think it's wrong, but "less correct", if that makes sense.@@heyitsmira17
"My love" and his face watching his family together. Paddy really brought to life the Viserys you just got to love or at least feel for 👏👏 P.S Daemon's face when Alicent was praying for Vaemond and him commanding the room when fight broke with half a smile was also brilliant
lmao at Daemon grinning at Aemond at the end of the dinner. Game recognizes game. Troll recognizes troll. I need a paternity check on Aemond as well please!
'My love...' Such a hauntingly beautiful scene. Viserys, dying a wretched death alone on a cold dark night, thinks he's found some solace that his family is finally reconciled... ...only that by unintentionally blurting out the wrong Aegon's name, he's now set the entire realm on the path to a devastating civil war that will mark the end of the dragons, the decline of the Targaryens, and won't be matched in devastation until the War of the Five Kings. TL;DR- Paddy Considine better get his fucking Emmy.
I liked the duality of Daemon and Aemond but also, how Daemon at the supper just with his body but not touching, had Jace and Luce walk back from their cousins picking a fight. Showed they respect him and he posed himself as a good father figure for them when they had two dads who didn’t see them grow into teens and adults.
What a masterwork this episode was. Acting, directing, cinematography, and score were simply magnificent. I think this was one of the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen.
17:49 Holy crap the way the entire bar went silent at the ending scene, ugh it sends literal chills and just makes Visery's death even more sadder. Preparing myself to be crying all the way up until the next episode's released 😭🖤
Viserys' face rotting from the side where the hightowers sit and his good eye from the side where rhaenyra and daemon and their family sit, is such sad and strong symbolism
@@serendipity3388 the symbolism continues during the episode when rhaenyra goes to talk to him in bed and sits next to his good face, at the end also when alicent is on the bad side
Literally, when Daemon said 'Say It' , I shouted 'Say it and your head will be detached from your shoulders in 10 seconds!' I actually laughed when it happened!
Love the musical foreshadowing in this episode. First Daenerys theme when Daemon finds the three dragon eggs. Then as Viserys tells Otto “I will sit the throne” a familiar tune rises to crescendo. The Baratheon theme signaling the beginning of Targaryen decline.
I know we first heard it with Robert, but I always viewed that theme as just the royal theme, esp since we've heard used in this series before. Still loved it's used here though. Robert's version is big and strong and grand, whereas Viserys' is slow and labored and faint, like it's trying to fight through to be heard. Found it very appropriate for him here. I also love that the original track for it in GoT is called "The King Arrives" and it's heard for the first time here when Viserys arrives to the throne room. I believe the first time it's heard in this series is when he's named heir in the first episode.
@@MarcReyes_ don’t forget, a slightly darker version of the same theme was used for Stannis. If I recall correctly it was used in Tommen’s coronation but of course he is in the Baratheon line at least technically.
@@ChristopherMarshburn oh for sure. But we've heard a lot of theme repeated from GoT for HotD, so they've all sort of morphed for me personally into something larger than for whom they were originally written. The Baratheons were all kings in their own way after all, so fitting they get the royal theme. I do like your read on it of the spectre of the future slowly beginning to take shape all these years prior.
That dinner scene had me pretty shook up. I wasn't expecting it to be so good and so emotional. Paddy played a man in agony better than any other I have ever seen.
Unfortunately I understand well how Aemond feels: teased and humiliated by those who were supposed to be his friends, absent parents, an idiot brother...has grown up and is growing up alone, so without a guide comes up as it comes.... unfortunately he knows no other way to defend himself if not becoming despicable in turn, indeed even worse in some parts...I'm sorry for him and for those people in the bar who laughed when they saw Lucerys laughing at him...
@@zeMasterRuseman I didn’t want to spoil it but yes. What a scene that’s going to be. Also when Aemond goes to attack Harrenhall. The show has great potential
13:14 when the camera cuts to Rhaenyra just out of focus you can see Daemon reacting to Aemond fisting the table: “OMG I’ve been waiting for this magnificent 1-eyed sigma to go off all night!”
"one of the most powerful reactions i've ever filmed, which is why I cut it." Is like saying "one of the best goals ever scored, which is why I disallowed it " weird choice
She heard what she wanted to hear, even though she should have known he wasn't taking to her (shes never heard the story) now we are about to go full steam ahead no brakes
@@TheJunmengo- THISSS 🙄 The Greens are so treacherous. They've been waiting for that man to die, so they can finally do what they've always wanted to. I hate that the show makes it seem as if it was all just some innocent misunderstanding on Alicent's part. Nah, they've been plotting for YEARS to take the throne ffs. Alicent is so triflin! And her sons are total psychopaths. If people think Aegon forcing himself onto that serving girl is the worst he does... then they are in for a rough road ahead, trying to defend that family. They are traitorous people, there's nothing more left to be said than that.
Literally Viserys has been saying half of his life that he want Rhanenyra as is heir ,made a last supper and said that he wanted his family to not fight and Alicent was like : oh ok so you want my Aegon to become king right 👍! Viserys speech didn't even make sense for her since he thought he was talking. To Rhaenyra
@@KabbalahSherry They could be traitorous and cruel as much as they want and I would still root for them and defend them, as long as they manage to ruin the entirety of house Targaryen by self destructing.
The way Paddy Considine portrayed King Viserys was absolutely phenomenal he bared Viserys heart and soul in trying to keep his family together.. bravo Paddy the perfect casting choice and boy did he deliver!!
That guy in the corner clapping his hands was ME IRL as this scene went down. Also the guy going nuts fiddling with his hat was hilarious. GoT is just on another level.
Viserys might made some questionable decisions, but he has always been kind and honorable. The character really grows on me, gradually. I guess we'd always need a Ned in these shows to feel the pain~
Aegon & Aemon are total psychopaths. 🙄 If you think Aegon forcing himself onto that serving girl is the worst thing these boys do... just you wait. It's gonna get harder & harder to defend the Greens, as all this unfolds, trust & believe that. The actor looks great as Aemon. But the character is a monster. Just a head's up.
@@KabbalahSherry Lol What an unnecessary comment. Do you think Daemond killing his wife was the last bad thing he'll do? Do you think Rhaenyra and Daemon killing that innocent guard will be the last bad thing they do? all characters will do bad things from now on it's gonna get harder and harder to support each side. Aemond hasn't done anything evil like what Daemon and Rhaenyra have done as of yet and if you're referring to the books, the showrunners can choose to change some events just like they changed the murder of Leanor. stop discriminating against teenage boys.
@@KabbalahSherry but Daemon isn't? Daemon is literally worse than both Aegon and Aemond, Blood and Cheese and him killing his wife brutally with a rock is going to be far worse than anything either Aegon or Aemond do.
The funniest thing about this video is that you were courteous enough to include replays but i only discovered this after replaying the scene about 10 times already lmao. Thank you
@@rifatahsan1675 Beanie, not boonie. LOL. He also seems to be Team Black as well judging by his reactions. I would venture to say most fans of the show feel the same way!
Some people aren't putting together that Alicent was already told of one "prophecy" by Viserys - the one dream he had of a prince being born to him and Aemma. I think that's the same episode he told Rhaenyra the prophecy of the Song of Ice and Fire. The idea that she would mistake Viserys' last words in line with that dream is a little gimmicky, but it was foreshadowed.
it's the absolute opposite lol this dude clearly knows he is in front of cameras and spams the same 3 basic expressions thinking he's some kind of main character, very insecure and attention seeking.
Alicent is educated in the naming conventions and complexities of lineage, and knows Viserys is near death, on milk of the poppy. Not to mention Rhaenyra has a baby named Aegon. I don't think the ending is a misunderstanding. the Queen is grabbing an advantage out of a murky situation while she can.
She is smart, she knows that Viserys was not referring to that drunk buffoon. I think she may understand that was a Rhaenyra thing and only use those words to her own goals. She twisted his final wish
The series just keeps getting better and better, Paddy Considine & Viserys you will be missed :( a mediocre king but with a good rare heart. The Dance of dragons is now officially here and I cannot wait to see how some of the incredible scenes from the book are portrayed. Also despite Ewan Mitchells total 4 mins of screen time, he has already nailed Aemond one-eye, let the rivalry with Daemon begin
Nope. Sorry, but for all of Daemon's faults (arrogance, etc), one thing Daemon never lacked for, was loyalty. Loyalty to both his family, and to the crown. He could have found a way to kill his brother & seize power for himself long ago. Who would have dared try to stop him? But he never did. So any "bastards" in the family that have been legitimized & given a high born name, (as in the case of Rhae's kids) would have been just fine w/Daemon.... so long as they are equally loyal family members in return. Daemon doesn't get all high & mighty about such things, believe me. 😅 lol And the more you find out what psychopaths Aegon & Aemon are... the more you'll WISH they were like Daemon. In fact, I really hated that the show had Daemon killing his 1st wife... because he doesn't do that in the source material. 😒 SMH The show had him killing her to try to make him look more "edgy" I guess... but he never did anything so evil as that in the actual story. So it's truly a shame that they went that route. Oh well...
@@KabbalahSherry Don't let your fangirling over the character obscure your sight. The point of Game of Thrones and all of the Song of Ice and Fire is that there is no clear cut good guy bad guy. Plus, Rhaenyra's three strong boys were never legitimized since the lie concerning them being trueborn Velaryons was never abandoned. If you want to legitimize them you have to first admit they are born out of wedlock and Rhaenyra can't do that since it would cause the lords of the Seven Kingdoms and all commonfolk to refuse her as queen. Daemon offing his wife might've never been mentionned in the books, but so is Aegon and the serving girl, doesn't mean they both aren't morally bankrupt characters who do what THEY think is right.
@@KabbalahSherry actually the book didn't say how she fell from her horse,it could've been daemon all the way so I think the makers of the show giving us some added info that's it imo.
@@KabbalahSherry Haha.. You truly are deluded. Deamon literally does the worst thing in the whole dance of the dragons story. He is possibly rivaled only by Aemond in the "questionable" acts that he does..
Everyone playing the game of thrones- scheming, plotting, planning, forming factions, securing allies meanwhile daemon just comes in and solves each of his problems by killing them🤣. Matt Smith perfectly portrays the rogue prince- reckless, short tempered and a complete badass
I'm going to miss Viserys on the show. He may not have been the king the audience wanted him to be and he has his fair share of parts he played in the war to come but he really was the glue that held everyone together and one of the truly decent people in this whole story. I'm truly wondering who will be that sort of emotional anchor moving forward because things only get nasty from here. In the chat I noticed people saying Alicent is twisting Viserys' words but I feel like she could just.... outright lie if she wanted Aegon to be king that badly. This episode pretty much showed that she was 1. Sick of Aegon's shit 2. Accepting of Rhaenyra's claim in the way that Rhaenys finally accepted things as Viserys got out of his lteral death bed to reaffirm things for Luke and by extension Jace and Rhaenyra's claim. I think the moment would be wasted if Alicent didn't genuinely think that.
@@thestarsturn - She's not THAT religious, trust & believe. 🙄 It's a nice cover that she puts on for people... but there is plenty that she turns a blind eye to, in order to seize power from the Targaryans. Her sons are total psychopaths too. If you think Aegon forcing himself onto that young serving girl is as bad as it gets... just you wait.
@@KabbalahSherry So does raehnyra,she is plotted to kill an innocent man with daemon, ignores all the shit daemon has done, used criston & took his celibacy, i have not read the book, but till now both are flawed, but alicent not so much than raehnyra.
@@KabbalahSherry My god if Allicent and rhaenyra can find common cause with each other than why the hell do you team blackcels keep attacking team green
Episode 8 got a solid 9.5/10 ( Well Deserved ).. I never thought this series could break my heart 💔 The walk of the King to the throne to protect his daughter even in his worst health condition was… I’m speechless
Deamon during the stand off against veamond! You could just tell he was thinking ( how many people am I going to be forced to kill today? ) it was baddass!!!
@@shashwatupadhyay42 it all went as planned by the lord of light. The dream, the song of ice and fire was fulfilled. He played his part just as the Lord wanted to.
Gonna miss Viserys as a character and Paddy's presence as an actor every week. His arc throughout the show is heartbreaking, but at least he dies with the comfort of seeing his family happy together for a moment. His biggest flaw is loving his family too much and just wanting the best for everyone even though none of them wanted the same for each other.

Viserys' face rotting from the side where the hightowers sit and his good eye from the side where rhaenyra and daemon and their family sit, is such sad and strong symbolism
Omg I didn’t realise that 😮
good observation
I dare you to say STRONG again
@@serendipity3388 the symbolism continues during the episode when rhaenyra goes to talk to him in bed and sits next to his good face, at the end also when alicent is on the bad side
This is the last time they spoke as friends.
Literally, when Daemon said 'Say It' , I shouted 'Say it and your head will be detached from your shoulders in 10 seconds!'
I actually laughed when it happened!
Love the musical foreshadowing in this episode. First Daenerys theme when Daemon finds the three dragon eggs. Then as Viserys tells Otto “I will sit the throne” a familiar tune rises to crescendo. The Baratheon theme signaling the beginning of Targaryen decline.
I know we first heard it with Robert, but I always viewed that theme as just the royal theme, esp since we've heard used in this series before. Still loved it's used here though. Robert's version is big and strong and grand, whereas Viserys' is slow and labored and faint, like it's trying to fight through to be heard. Found it very appropriate for him here. I also love that the original track for it in GoT is called "The King Arrives" and it's heard for the first time here when Viserys arrives to the throne room. I believe the first time it's heard in this series is when he's named heir in the first episode.
@@MarcReyes_ don’t forget, a slightly darker version of the same theme was used for Stannis. If I recall correctly it was used in Tommen’s coronation but of course he is in the Baratheon line at least technically.
@@ChristopherMarshburn oh for sure. But we've heard a lot of theme repeated from GoT for HotD, so they've all sort of morphed for me personally into something larger than for whom they were originally written. The Baratheons were all kings in their own way after all, so fitting they get the royal theme. I do like your read on it of the spectre of the future slowly beginning to take shape all these years prior.
That dinner scene had me pretty shook up. I wasn't expecting it to be so good and so emotional. Paddy played a man in agony better than any other I have ever seen.
The bar’s getting full !!!!!
4:00 the woman moaned so much that I was afraid of what the staff was on my side considered
I wanted to see their reactions to Jacaerys and Helaena dancing so bad 😭😭, also Daemyra and everyone having fun
Unfortunately I understand well how Aemond feels: teased and humiliated by those who were supposed to be his friends, absent parents, an idiot brother...has grown up and is growing up alone, so without a guide comes up as it comes.... unfortunately he knows no other way to defend himself if not becoming despicable in turn, indeed even worse in some parts...I'm sorry for him and for those people in the bar who laughed when they saw Lucerys laughing at him...
That stare off between uncle and nephew gave me goosebumps. I’ve rewatched it so many times. Can’t wait to see what unfolds 😉
Daemon kills Aemond
@@zeMasterRuseman man don’t spoil everyone,
SPOILER..
and daemon dies too , so what’s your point?
@@zeMasterRuseman I didn’t want to spoil it but yes. What a scene that’s going to be. Also when Aemond goes to attack Harrenhall. The show has great potential
Paddy really touched everybody with his briljant acting , damn he will be missed on this show. 💔
“I don’t give a shit about tourneys” 🐐💯
13:14 when the camera cuts to Rhaenyra just out of focus you can see Daemon reacting to Aemond fisting the table: “OMG I’ve been waiting for this magnificent 1-eyed sigma to go off all night!”
Aye I just noticed that after rewatching the scene.
@@luisjosp5 I’ve never seen him more in love 😆
cut the best scene of Viserys seeing his family all getting along. calm before the storm.
it was so riveting. like everyone was just bawling, one of the most powerful reactions i've ever filmed, which is why I cut it.
@@SeanTanktop Noo I wanted to see it, to be fair I think we all cried at that moment
"one of the most powerful reactions i've ever filmed, which is why I cut it." Is like saying "one of the best goals ever scored, which is why I disallowed it " weird choice
@@SeanTanktop Could you plz still do a video on that scene alone. I think everyone wants to see it
@@shaneoshea6216
Haha..
He clearly is nuts.
Viserys : "I'll have your tongue for that"
Daemond : " No No brother....let him keep it "
She heard what she wanted to hear, even though she should have known he wasn't taking to her (shes never heard the story) now we are about to go full steam ahead no brakes
She knew it
she absolutely knew it, she chooses to hear what she wants
@@TheJunmengo- THISSS 🙄 The Greens are so treacherous. They've been waiting for that man to die, so they can finally do what they've always wanted to. I hate that the show makes it seem as if it was all just some innocent misunderstanding on Alicent's part. Nah, they've been plotting for YEARS to take the throne ffs. Alicent is so triflin! And her sons are total psychopaths. If people think Aegon forcing himself onto that serving girl is the worst he does... then they are in for a rough road ahead, trying to defend that family. They are traitorous people, there's nothing more left to be said than that.
Literally Viserys has been saying half of his life that he want Rhanenyra as is heir ,made a last supper and said that he wanted his family to not fight and Alicent was like : oh ok so you want my Aegon to become king right 👍!
Viserys speech didn't even make sense for her since he thought he was talking. To Rhaenyra
@@KabbalahSherry
They could be traitorous and cruel as much as they want and I would still root for them and defend them, as long as they manage to ruin the entirety of house Targaryen by self destructing.
exactly she KNEW Viserys wasn't talking to her
Captian America is still my favorite. He didn't cheer when Danny got it in GOT. The north remembers Captian.
He's always been my favorite, he really understands the nuance of these characters.
Danny deserved it though
Yeahh he always been my favourite too...
Who is the captain america
@@nyma4287 the guy in yellow cap. We all like him since the GOT reactions days😁😁
Aemond and Daemond low key were like, damn this is gonna be fun 🤣
Rest in peace now, King Viserys of House Targaryen, first of his name. Be with your true love Aemma now. 🖤
The way Paddy Considine portrayed King Viserys was absolutely phenomenal he bared Viserys heart and soul in trying to keep his family together.. bravo Paddy the perfect casting choice and boy did he deliver!!
That guy in the corner clapping his hands was ME IRL as this scene went down. Also the guy going nuts fiddling with his hat was hilarious. GoT is just on another level.
Viserys might made some questionable decisions, but he has always been kind and honorable. The character really grows on me, gradually.
I guess we'd always need a Ned in these shows to feel the pain~
Paddy will be missed!!! What a legend!
Aemond looks so badass 😎💚🔥
Aegon & Aemon are total psychopaths. 🙄
If you think Aegon forcing himself onto that serving girl is the worst thing these boys do... just you wait. It's gonna get harder & harder to defend the Greens, as all this unfolds, trust & believe that.
The actor looks great as Aemon. But the character is a monster. Just a head's up.
@@KabbalahSherry oh stop discriminating them 🤣🤣
@@KabbalahSherry there was no need for this reply. tbh
@@KabbalahSherry Lol What an unnecessary comment. Do you think Daemond killing his wife was the last bad thing he'll do? Do you think Rhaenyra and Daemon killing that innocent guard will be the last bad thing they do? all characters will do bad things from now on it's gonna get harder and harder to support each side. Aemond hasn't done anything evil like what Daemon and Rhaenyra have done as of yet and if you're referring to the books, the showrunners can choose to change some events just like they changed the murder of Leanor. stop discriminating against teenage boys.
@@KabbalahSherry but Daemon isn't? Daemon is literally worse than both Aegon and Aemond, Blood and Cheese and him killing his wife brutally with a rock is going to be far worse than anything either Aegon or Aemond do.
7:49 that was a nice sync with the sound of the cup between both the bar and the show haha
Helena's toast, even Otto was laughing LOL
The funniest thing about this video is that you were courteous enough to include replays but i only discovered this after replaying the scene about 10 times already lmao. Thank you
On this day, Paddy Considine’s Viserys took his rightful place in the Hall of Legends.
Captain America is 100% in Viserys team.
I’m new here haha who is Captain America? I keep seeing comments like this haha
@@vinceclaud10 The dude with the yellow boonie hat
@@rifatahsan1675 Beanie, not boonie. LOL. He also seems to be Team Black as well judging by his reactions. I would venture to say most fans of the show feel the same way!
@@vinceclaud10 lol, watch the Game of Thrones finale,Youll see the bar’s cast 😂
Jace should have raised a toast as an answer with something like: I thank Aemond, and his very large eyesight on the matters
If Paddy doesn’t win an Emmy, we riot.
I got mad for Bob not winning emmy this time ,I hope paddy gets it next time
Mark Addy should've won an Emmy too. :(
Is it totally bad I smiled when Otto actually looked like he was having fun? 😂 😂. He did that cute little finger clap. 😂
I did, too. I was surprised to see him so genuinly smile.
Some people aren't putting together that Alicent was already told of one "prophecy" by Viserys - the one dream he had of a prince being born to him and Aemma. I think that's the same episode he told Rhaenyra the prophecy of the Song of Ice and Fire. The idea that she would mistake Viserys' last words in line with that dream is a little gimmicky, but it was foreshadowed.
This show is like watching an epic fantasy, drama, crime, movie each weekend, just lovely
Paddy deserves an Emmy for this episode alone
Yellow beanie guy's reactions were the most heartfelt it seems.
it's the absolute opposite lol this dude clearly knows he is in front of cameras and spams the same 3 basic expressions thinking he's some kind of main character, very insecure and attention seeking.
@@bastipotter84 who hurt you ?
::: reserved and stately ye tsomber Hollywood A-lister clap ::
Viserys....Do not go quietly into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying light.
Truer words were never texted!
6:48 Daemon's face was like "lol yea right"
I love how Daemon reacted when Alicent included Vaemond in her prayers hahahaha
this episode was devastating! all the cheers to Paddy
The most dangerous man in the realm - Daemon Targaryen!
Alicent is educated in the naming conventions and complexities of lineage, and knows Viserys is near death, on milk of the poppy. Not to mention Rhaenyra has a baby named Aegon. I don't think the ending is a misunderstanding. the Queen is grabbing an advantage out of a murky situation while she can.
Exactly
Perfect
She asked a few times “our son Aegon?”
She is smart, she knows that Viserys was not referring to that drunk buffoon. I think she may understand that was a Rhaenyra thing and only use those words to her own goals. She twisted his final wish
The series just keeps getting better and better, Paddy Considine & Viserys you will be missed :( a mediocre king but with a good rare heart.
The Dance of dragons is now officially here and I cannot wait to see how some of the incredible scenes from the book are portrayed.
Also despite Ewan Mitchells total 4 mins of screen time, he has already nailed Aemond one-eye, let the rivalry with Daemon begin
We all know Daemon can’t be mad because he would’ve done the same thing in Aemond’s shoes
Nope. Sorry, but for all of Daemon's faults (arrogance, etc), one thing Daemon never lacked for, was loyalty. Loyalty to both his family, and to the crown.
He could have found a way to kill his brother & seize power for himself long ago. Who would have dared try to stop him? But he never did.
So any "bastards" in the family that have been legitimized & given a high born name, (as in the case of Rhae's kids) would have been just fine w/Daemon.... so long as they are equally loyal family members in return. Daemon doesn't get all high & mighty about such things, believe me. 😅 lol
And the more you find out what psychopaths Aegon & Aemon are... the more you'll WISH they were like Daemon. In fact, I really hated that the show had Daemon killing his 1st wife... because he doesn't do that in the source material. 😒 SMH
The show had him killing her to try to make him look more "edgy" I guess... but he never did anything so evil as that in the actual story. So it's truly a shame that they went that route. Oh well...
@@KabbalahSherry Don't let your fangirling over the character obscure your sight.
The point of Game of Thrones and all of the Song of Ice and Fire is that there is no clear cut good guy bad guy.
Plus, Rhaenyra's three strong boys were never legitimized since the lie concerning them being trueborn Velaryons was never abandoned. If you want to legitimize them you have to first admit they are born out of wedlock and Rhaenyra can't do that since it would cause the lords of the Seven Kingdoms and all commonfolk to refuse her as queen.
Daemon offing his wife might've never been mentionned in the books, but so is Aegon and the serving girl, doesn't mean they both aren't morally bankrupt characters who do what THEY think is right.
@@KabbalahSherry actually the book didn't say how she fell from her horse,it could've been daemon all the way so I think the makers of the show giving us some added info that's it imo.
@@KabbalahSherry we speak again after blood and cheese 🧀 😂

Haha..
You truly are deluded.
Deamon literally does the worst thing in the whole dance of the dragons story. He is possibly rivaled only by Aemond in the "questionable" acts that he does..
"He can keep his tongue." - Daemon Targaryen, Talk Shit, Get Hit Champion, 2022.
that sheer silence as the credits rolled showed how amazed everyone was with the performance ! Paddy for Emmy
That guy in the yellow beanie has the feels! Good on him 😂 he my fav dude
Loved Aemond's reaction to Daemon killing Vaemond. "I like your style, old man."
"I was merely expressing how proud I am of my family, Mother. Mmmm. Though it seems my nephews aren't quite as proud of theirs."
Everyone playing the game of thrones- scheming, plotting, planning, forming factions, securing allies meanwhile daemon just comes in and solves each of his problems by killing them🤣. Matt Smith perfectly portrays the rogue prince- reckless, short tempered and a complete badass
Omg! It's so good to see him back. I used to watch him in old got reaction videos. The guy seating with hagrid!! Welcome back!
HIs performance in this episode literally brings me to tears. i dunno why
Love the fact that Aemond drops a "hmmm" in front of Daemon who knows that he will have to deal with him later on 😏
i was waiting for this video all day..checked yt many times now finally here we go
I'm going to miss Viserys on the show. He may not have been the king the audience wanted him to be and he has his fair share of parts he played in the war to come but he really was the glue that held everyone together and one of the truly decent people in this whole story. I'm truly wondering who will be that sort of emotional anchor moving forward because things only get nasty from here. In the chat I noticed people saying Alicent is twisting Viserys' words but I feel like she could just.... outright lie if she wanted Aegon to be king that badly. This episode pretty much showed that she was 1. Sick of Aegon's shit 2. Accepting of Rhaenyra's claim in the way that Rhaenys finally accepted things as Viserys got out of his lteral death bed to reaffirm things for Luke and by extension Jace and Rhaenyra's claim. I think the moment would be wasted if Alicent didn't genuinely think that.
Viserys just wanted to build his models.
totally, and it’s also important to note that she’s a deeply religious person and them, more than most, will read into a prophecy.
@@thestarsturn - She's not THAT religious, trust & believe. 🙄 It's a nice cover that she puts on for people... but there is plenty that she turns a blind eye to, in order to seize power from the Targaryans. Her sons are total psychopaths too. If you think Aegon forcing himself onto that young serving girl is as bad as it gets... just you wait.
@@KabbalahSherry So does raehnyra,she is plotted to kill an innocent man with daemon, ignores all the shit daemon has done, used criston & took his celibacy, i have not read the book, but till now both are flawed, but alicent not so much than raehnyra.
@@KabbalahSherry My god if Allicent and rhaenyra can find common cause with each other than why the hell do you team blackcels keep attacking team green
I think that when Viserys was dying, with his last breath he could see Aemma's face, his true love.
Daemon really cemented himself as the peoples favorite this episode.

In this scene you see even Otto and Alicent was like nope even I wouldn’t have done that
Gonna miss Viserys as a character and Paddy's presence as an actor every week. His arc throughout the show is heartbreaking, but at least he dies with the comfort of seeing his family happy together for a moment. His biggest flaw is loving his family too much and just wanting the best for everyone even though none of them wanted the same for each other.
lol
In all those 4 replays back to back of Daemon beheading with his sword, the moaning voice from someone in the crowd was constant 😂😂
