    Best scene so far.
    At the start of the series, there are over a dozen dragons in the possession of House Targaryen, but only four have riders. Prince Daemon rides Caraxes, a large and ferocious beast called the Blood Wyrm out of reverence and fear by alllies and enemies alike. Rhaenyra rides Syrax, a young dragon that hatched in her cradle, guaranteeing an instant bond.
    We have yet to see the other two - another young blue-grey dragon named Seasmoke ridden by Laenor Velaryon, probably hatched in the cradle like Syrax. Finally, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen rides Meleys, an old, cunning and powerful red dragon that she inherited from her aunt, Alyssa Targaryen.
    This our first glimpse of the fascinating concept of a medieval version of brinksmanship - much like our nukes, Dragons are not only Weapons of Mass Destruction, but Weapons of Mutually-Assured Destruction. If you don't have a dragon, you are completely powerless when facing someone who does. If you both have dragons, any sort of conflict between you could be disastrous - but you still must seem ready and able to use the dragon in order for the deterrent to be deemed credible. For two conflicting factions, both must constantly strive to have the most/biggest dragons.
    By simply showing up with a dragon, Rhaenyra showed herself to be vastly more important than any of the King's men - she and Daemon are simply on another level, showcased well in the plot by their switch to High Valyrian.
    Notably, Princess Rhaenys and several other characters also have dragons that we have yet to see, which is somewhat surprising

    I love that it is clear that daemon isn't trying to hurt his family. They make it very clear that he kinda did all of this so that the king would should up. He actually wanted his family to show up not Otto so when Otto came he wasn't responsive but when Rhaenyra came to speak to him he very quickly dropped the tough act.

      Daemon is not a bad guy, he's just misunderstood, even when after Baelons death he really was mourning, and not just fooling around, he didn't take Mysaria just because he wanted to, he cares about her and wants to give her protection. He genuinely cares about his family and Otto is the one who's after power

      Daemon so far seems like he's just acting out half the time. Daemon seems to just wants his brother's approval/attention. I think he feels overlooked, just like Rhaenyra feels overlooked, and hates that his brother trusts the snake Otto more than him.

      Caraxes definitely creeps me out and draws me in, I love the portrayal of his long slender neck it reminds me of a mermaids tail or a gorgons snake tail. It’s so beautiful yet revolting at the same time, it sounds dramatic but genuinely if dragons were real I would not want to be around Caraxes, he looks like he can swallow human beings whole with ease. Doesn’t he end up swallowing rhaenyra?

    You can really see the power of the House here. Like Rhaenera said, without dragons they are just like everyone else. But with them they are incredibly powerful. You could see that Otto understood that with Caraxes they were outmatched until Rhaenera arrived and balanced the scales. They knew if Caraxes attacked Syrax would attack and both sides would end up burning. Without a dragon a Targaryen is so much less powerful and you can see why having so many dragons die/stop existing before Daenerys was born helped lead to the destruction of their house

But in the show she proceeded to never burn via fire. Then in House Pf The Dragon, we see Viserys (Rhaenyra’s father and Daemon’s brother) touch the flames of candles and not burn. This implies that he does not burn like Daenerys in the show probably because the magic of dragons flows through him or whatever. So there’s a high chance that in the show Rhaenyra and Daemon may not be able to be burned by flames including those of their dragons.

Like how Daemon tells his brother he isn’t fit to be King or how Rhaenyra knows that egging Daemon on to take her life would soothe his tantrum rather than stoke his desires for power. Daemon is rude to everyone but his actions are slightly dampened with his brother and his niece. It makes his character palatable. Kudos to Matt Smith for a deep and nuanced performance.

    What really proved that Daemon just wanted to talk to Viserys and wanted his attention (just like a child with his parent) was that he brought the dragon egg with him. Viserys didn't pay attention to him occupying Dragonstone and he's frustrated because of that. He was intent on returning the egg because he knows Viserys would come for it and he made sure to pick Baelon's egg too. But he didn't know Otto would intervene. When he talked to Rhaenyra it was almost like he was complaining too lol. He desperately wants validation from his family and you already know that he would never betray Viserys and Rhaenyra just from this scene alone. What brilliant writing and character-building.

      The king does have his daughter and perhaps princess Rhaenys at this point in the story to confront Daemon if he goes off the cuff. But he won't, you can tell that even though Daemon might think Viserys is weak but he still thinks of him as the rightful king.
      Later in the series Daemon will have an equally impressive opponent when Aemond one eye claims Vhaegar.

      On multiple occasions Otto is unreasonably surprised when a situation headed towards bloody conflict actually turns out to have bloody conflict. He seems to think that if he arranges all the pieces on the board just right, everyone will just concede that he's won and he can just walk away. But it simply doesn't work like that.
      When Daemon drew his sword, Otto looked genuinely shocked. He didn't imagine Daemon might straight up murder an envoy, when he REALLY should have expected that from Daemon. And then when Caraxes strolls up and instantly shows they're outmatched, you realise that Otto NEVER should have been so bold in threatening Daemon when Daemon had Caraxes the whole time.

    Daemon right away lower his sword when Rhaenrya wasn’t even on view yet, and that made Carexes lower his and even when Syrax flew by him he gave a gentle acknowledgment to Syrax and syrax didn’t seem aggressive towards daemon or carexes either.
    Rhaenrya knew he would t hurt her. And also is yet another soft foreshadow for the future.

Otto's plan was to go in, rile Daemon up, and then go back to Viserys and tell him that Daemon can't be controlled and to fully divide the brothers. If Viserys went himself, they would've resolved the situation. As hot-headed as Daemon is, he wouldn't kill them because it would be declaring open rebellion on the kingdom. Caraxes was purely there for intimidation. I think if Rhaenyra didn't come, Daemon would've let them leave but kept the egg (which Otto would've used to convince Viserys he's a lost cause).

    I love how Daemon is so careful with what he's saying in order to make the display of power he wants while also not declaring outright war (which he might have done had Viserys come himself), demonstrating this is a reasonably thorough plan, only for Rhaenyra to effectively say "Your betrothed is visibly not pregnant lol" and he's kind of just like "Ah... damn it." Otto had good reason to not point it out despite probably noticing too. A bastard child is good reason for conflict between brothers. Daemon counted on that and Viserys likely would have believed him even if others insisted it was a lie. But Rhaenyra just instantly calls his bluff in front of him.

    It’s always fun to see new dragons, blood wyrm looks awesome and sounds just about how you would expect it to sound since compared to the other dragons it is deformed so the roar comes out as a guttural high pitched screech, they’ve done a good job and I look forward to see more of this

    I don’t see how people can’t understand that Hightower is manipulative as hell. Daemon is brash and it’s kind of hard for people to not see him as arrogant but he truly cares about his brother and kingdom.
