We learn a few things. 1. Daemon was genuinely lost and saddened by seeing his brother that way, and they love each other incredibly. 2. Aemond is a literal BEAST. You can see Daemon seeing himself in him (you’re right they are one and the same with the fire and brutality) and Aemond being impressed by Daemon. Amazing character, he definitely is a legitimate threat unlike Aegon. 3. Aegon is still a POS. 4. Allicent totally misunderstood the kings blundering. Phenomenal episode.

This episode really got to me. When King Visery’s had a final subtle look at each face around the table and you could see that he was done. He always tried to do the right thing. The trouble was that it was his family and not him who couldn’t get their act together. His final walk to the iron throne, I felt every step he took. I suppose the last family meal was his last shot to make things right, and Visery’s knew it. But he ended up dying a lonely death. Tragic, so bloody tragic.

That experience made me a better version of my self, made me cherish my loved ones even more, made me wiser, patient, and more thoughtful. I'm sure there is a higher purpose to the pain you went through as well. Sometimes its hard to see it immediately, but years down the road when you look back, you connect the dots and understand the higher wisdom behind life's happening. I wish you the very best in life.

As a note for the both of you: 1. Since there are two Aegon's in the show now, Westeros usually refers to Alicent and Viserys' son as "Aegon, the Elder" and Rheanyra and Daemon's son as "Aegon the Younger." Just to differentiate them. 2. Rheanyra's two young sons with Daemon are NOT twins. They're close in age but born separately. About 2 years apart in age. 3. There was actually an 8 year time jump in between episodes so all of the characters are 8 years older, but its been 6 years since Corlys went to the Stepstones and got gravely wounded.

Very remarkable subtle symbolism that's kinda easy to miss: almost every time Viserys was onscreen this episode, Rhaenyra, Daemon and their family were on his left side (the healthy side of his face with an eye remaining) and Otto, Alicent and her family were on his right side (the rotting side of his face missing an eye) with the only exceptions of when he was laying on his stomach and Otto was on his left side but once he was sitting up straight Otto was then on his right side, and while he was walking to the throne Alicent was on his left side. But whenever he was laying in bed, sitting on the throne or sitting at the dinner table, that was the case.

25:42 The power of this moment. This is truly all that Daemon ever wanted: to be needed by his older brother & to help/support him when he is "weak". Think back to episode 1 where Daemon tells Viserys that he's weak & he sees people taking advantage of him & Daemon would be a strong right hand to help him & keep the Targaryen name/bloodline strong. Despite everything, good/bad that has happened, Daemon always loved & respected Viserys. Set up. Pay off. In a big impactful way. I was already cheering & teary-eyed when Viserys walked in...but this moment with Daemon...my heart 😭💞!

This is easily my favorite episode of the season, and the scene with Viseyrs hobbling toward the throne is one of my top (if not my favorite) scenes in all the GOT universe. Such heavy tension in the room, powerful emotion in the presence, and all around superb acting by all those involved--especially Paddy. When his crown falls and Daemon is there to place it back atop his head is when my tears always fall. Steven actually called it several episodes ago, but Daemon truly does care for his family. We see it in the way he cannot bear to make eye contact with his brother on his death bed (it pains him to see Viseyrs that way); we see it in the way he treated young Rhaenyra early on in the series (even making a genuine effort to comfort her at her mother's funeral); and we certainly see it here, when he beheads Vaemond for insulting both his wife and children. My heart is SO IMMENSELY HEAVY for poor Viseyrs. An exceptionally well-written character with a truly tragic tale. He wanted only peace and I was in some ways glad he got to go out the way he did (even if the peace he finally got to see would be short-lived).

Viserys ascending the throne was so beautiful. According to lore he along with his grandfather Jaehaerys presided over the most prosperous times of Westeros, and Viserys himself was loved by commoners and nobles alike for his kind and generous nature, and how he hated conflict and always strove for peace and unity. That scene portrayed this very well, Viserys honoured his crown instead of the other way around, to the last agonized breath. And Daemon helping him nearly brought me to tears, once a brother always a brother.

Why everyone hate Alicent? What wrong has she done? Daemon killed his first wife. Celebrated his nephew's death. Rhaenyra had child with with someone not her husband and then tries gaslighting whole realm in believing it's not that. I know she had an arrangement with her husband and they tried, still if she is proud of her children why not name them correctly and accept their parentage. But somehow Alicent is bad. And what wrong Aemond did, he took a dragon. Dragons are not passed by parent to child. Before Laena ,Vagar was Visery's father's. Aemond got his eye sliced for doing nothing wrong and speaking truth. Vaemond got decapitated because he didn't want his family line to end. Velaryons have been removed completely.
