      What do you think of Matt Smith as Daemon? Some like him. But some others dislike because he's supposed to be handsome? Not the book reader, but was he being described as "handsome" in the book?

      @@rahmatmanurung8133 I don't remember him being described as handsomein the book, but he might gave been. The attraction is treating people who traditionally are seen as "weaker" (that are aware of their place in the world) as your equal or even superior, no matter their gender. Although, he does seem to love to pick on men more. It doesn't mean that he's a good guy, it just means he's smart. Matt Smith was a perfect choice for this role. After Doctor Who, I saw him in The Crown and was stunned at his range between the 2 shows. Amazing actor.

    I don't really buy the Daemon-Alicent rumor. Alicent is the very opposite of the type of women Daemon likes. She's a rulefollower, she's a hightower - a house that has close ties with the maesters and the faith of the seven (and we know the maesters al least don't like Daemon, and it might very well be a mutual feeling). I just can't see Daemon taking a fancy to Alicent, unless he wanted to spite Otto, but even then it's unlikely rulefollower Alicent would've risked it.

    I think Nettles is actually supposed to be one of Corlys' "bastard" children. Which makes the whole Daemon+Nettles=sexy time A LOT more palatable. And I truly think it just makes sense!! Of all his ladies, Laena seems like his one TRUE LOVE!! So, if Nettles is another daughter of Coryls....maybe he sees similar physical traits that first attracted him to Laena, and perhaps she has a similar attitude as Laena. Would make a lot of sense as to why Daemon seems to fall so hard for Nettles so quickly.

    One comment I have on Mysaria and the dragon egg is that I have always seen it less as Daemon seeing beyond class and race--since he hated Rhea for her First Men blood--and more of him wanting to have another dragon-rider wholly loyal to him. If he has a dragon-riding child that makes him far more of a threat, especially since Viserys has no dragon and I don't think Rhaenyra had yet claimed Syrax. Similarly, I saw Viserys refusing to give Mysaria the egg as him trying to get ahead of Daemon's plan. The Targs have always had problems with dragon-riding women marrying out of the house and possibly bringing dragons to other houses.

      I haven't read Fire & Blood and have only learned a bit of the backstory, but after watching the first episode I would've assumed it was his selfishness and pride over all else. He resents being told what to do, and as someone who has to fight to earn his power & influence, he doesn't look down on others who are ambitious, even if they are lowborn. His child with Mysaria may be a bastard, but it's his child too, and he's a Targaryen prince-- of course the baby deserves its own dragon! Daemon is on a very Machiavellian path, from what I see, and he took the egg because he felt he deserved it and he knew it wouldn't be given to him freely. Meanwhile, Viserys and the small council would take the care and keeping of dragons very seriously, for all the reasons you've stated, and they would be shocked and outraged at Daemon's bold entitlement. A totally natural collision course of ideas about who has access to dragons and why, and there are many parallel tales in real-world history (the Tudors & the Duke of Monmouth come to mind).

As someone who works with sheep, I can say that not only are they hard to control unless you "cast" them, but slitting one's throat would definitely cause a mess. However, Rhaenyra's line does give some sort of clue that Nettles may use magic. I guess we'll just have to see it in the show.

      That was the impression I got too. Slaughtering is a messy business, especially when it's apparently the biggest sheep in the city. She definitely could still be using sorcery, but I'd hazard a guess at it being a little less Satanic Panic.

He even had the same maturation as Daemon in his older years. If you compare their character development from their youth to their old age there are striking similarities. 😂

    in the books, the affair with Nettles is disputed. Some sources say he had an affair, other sources say Nettles was like a daughter to him. One source also swears they had separate rooms- Nettles and Damon, and Damon was indeed treating her like how daughter.
    Mysaria, Daemon's old mistress, is the one who tells Queen Rhaenyra that Nettles is sharing Daemon's bed. AT this point, daemon isn't really sleeping with Mysaria anymore and it could just be a vengeful tactic on Mysaria's part.
    Rhaenyra believes it though, and orders the Lord whose house Nettles and Damon are staying in to kill Nettles. Daemon comes to know of this, and sends Nettles away on her dragon quietly. Then he leaves. It could have been an act of kindness towards a lover or a daughter. We have no way of knowing. These are 3rd person accounts, often based on rumours and half truths.
    Either way, even if Daemon had an affair, he's not a traditional lover or husband when it comes to sex. Don't think that means much that he had affairs. He still cares about Rhaenyra. Or he wouldn't have jumped onto Vhagar, knowing he'd die.

We have seen in the show she's challenging him, teasing him and telling him she's not afraid of him. They have this tendencies to always come back to each other not because they're family members but it's the understand between them. Daemon- Rhaenyra power couple that changes Targaryen history (their clan fulfilled Aegon's dream) . And his relationship with other ladies- IMO Myseria is his friends with benefits, he literally abandoned her when she was pregnant but never abandoned Rhaenyra actually he was the one who was with her from beginning to the end. Then Léana part- yes he kinda love her? Putting question mark bcz did he cheat on her. After her death he quickly married Rhaenyra and she gave birth Aegon 3 shortly. Everything happens so quickly 🙄 Was he sharing bed with Rhaenyra while his wife was pregnant?? Yes, he was sharing bed with Myseria too and Rhaenyra told him to do. If Daemon didn't die, Rhaenyra wouldn't died like this. Rhaenyra was his weakness and Daemon was her strength.

    Awesome video! As a Brown girl and because I forever and always accept the Velaryons as Black as canon (or its ASOIAF-equivalent terminology), I have to say Laena is for sure my favorite of Daemon’s ladies. I’m loving the actress they cast for her and I can’t wait to see her in action. Nettles is, of course, a close second. I wonder if they’ll cast an actress similar in appearance to Laena’s actress for Nettles. Maybe, in show canon at least, part of Daemon’s initial attraction to her would be that she reminds him of Laena. Almost a second chance for that kind of love they had. Just a thought. Either way, I’m so excited!

Because the fact Nettles is a dragonseed and has brown skin means that non white people are running around Driftmark, even in George’s canon. Curious how Driftmark will be developed in general; they said we are going to see it a lot. Anyway yeah I like the change, I mean how many pale people in pale wigs can we even keep track anyway

I also want to point out that the reason that the velaryons in the book have pale skin and white eyes with pale purple eyes is to distinguish them from others they are supposed to have a more “ other worldly” look. That’s it. But I love the house of the dragon regardless.

We know for a fact Summer islanders frequently appeared at court for various reasons but we can safely assume that them being a prominnet feature in westeros would have incited LOTS of gossip and intrigue and were deemed exotic for sure. One passage speaks on a targaryen girl who was known for being freaky and she mentions that she would even like to shag with a summer islander remarking on his dark skin. The fact it was talked about in context with taboo behavior heavily suggests that it was not common to see dark skinned people around westeros

      Velaryons and Targaryens share that same features, they were white, pale, had silver hair and violet eyes. Nettles was mixed since her mom was a whore and no one knows who was her father. She could look Indian/Arabic/brown asian, but we all know hbo will make her black.
      Velaryons had marriages with Targaryens all the time, but Corlys is black, and his children look mixed. Why they couldn't cast mixed black for Corlys? Because HBO wanted to please black audience "look, we have all sorts of races! ". But asians will only play servants. Interesting logic.
      Same logic as in the Witcher only Herrald is white. Everyone else is black for no reason. In medieval Poland. " It's a fantasy world, characters could be any race! ". Oh yeah, then why everyone is black. Literally no asians. The only Asian I remember was a servant. Who died in few seconds. I'm not against characters being black for no reason. I just don't understand this diversity for the sake of diversity. If you make characters black, then why their children are not asians and white? It's a fantasy world, no logic in anything! Then children of Corlys could be asians or white. Why they casted black children with white wigs. I hope actors are good, that's it. Mermaid is black too. Everyone is black. Anna Boleyn the queen is black too. It's just imagination and interpretation. Yeah, I understand.
