    Daemon is right. His remarks on Otto, his initiative to join Velaryon on the Steps... I guess he's done being underestimated and overlooked. He's violent? Sure. Very. After all he's a Targaryen. Fire and Blood all the way. Love your content and the outfits, Georgia!

      The thing is, Daemon was right to not trust Otto, but he wasn't right to become a hand.
      Daemon hate administrative stuff.
      He does work extremely well as a military commander, but his posts as master of laws and of coin both showed how he sucked as a ruler or as someone vital for the ruling of the realm beyond being military muscle.

    Interesting you mentioned that Daemon's suicide mission was because he would rather die than let his brother help. Interesting because earlier in the episode when Viserys says he is sending his brother help, Rhaenyra asks, did he ask for help? And Viserys' response is 'he would rather die'

    Yes, I love Daemon’s character! He’s not solely motivated by good nor evil and has such determination.
    I think this episode was very artistic in that it drew comparisons between Viserys deliberate killing of a helpless innocent stag and Rhaenyras killing of a wild beast in order to protect herself. I think it shows that her and Daemon are motivated by self preservation, considering their titles are both threatened. The shots of both her and Daemon with the bloodied triumphant stares is so cool!

    Minor correction: Golden Cloaks not Golden company. I love that Damon energy. "No, I don't want your help, after you banished me. I spent 3 years cleaning up the problem you let fester so your Master of ships doesn't bail on you. I'm out here working so you can keep eating, and now you want to help? No, it's my win. And fuck your messenger, and fuck that snake Otto." I was feeling it if you can't tell. :)

    I feel like what a lot of westerosi forget about Aenys and Maegor is that at one point when they were ruling together basically, they were even stronger than when they were apart. I feel like if Viserys sat on the throne hosting the feasts and charming lords while Daemon was at his side putting down rebellions and looking out for him all seven kingdoms would be better for it.Viserys’ kind forgiving nature would essentially balance out Daemon’s cruel violent uncouth impulses. Daemon could encourage Viserys to have more backbone and not to trust people so easily.

    I would love a video about the relationship between Daemon and Viserys. What I love about these Targaryen is that they love their family madly, albeit in their own twisted way. Daemon's nature is to create chaos and this is how he can also express himself, he would die for his brother and for her niece Rhaenyra (her, like a family and in a romantic way). Like Viserys, who is always very verbal about the love he has for his brother and his daughter, what he wants most is for everyone to be at peace. Same for Rhaenyra, she would give anything for her father and her uncle (whom she also loves romantically). I love this strange family, they're very passionate 😂😂😂

    Lol ... l like to view this as the battle going on at the microscopic level between the Targaryen White Blood Cells vs the Cold and Flu Crab Eaters. Fits perfectly, early stage Crab Eaters are ruthlessly making a mess of things. There becomes the back and forth of battle that is the rising and falling of ones symptoms. Daemon rowing in and planting the flag is where you at your worst but now going sideways. But your body now has a plan and is positioning for the win. Dragon strike and onward is where you feel better hour over hour. Everyone cheers.

    Daemon is waving the white flag and offering up his sword to signal that his side surrenders. The white flag will cease hostilities until an understanding and terms of surrender can be reached. Daemon takes advantage of this to get in what's essentially a cheap shot to draw out the Crab Feeder and give him an opportunity for the victory... which is completely in line with Daemon's personality, lol.

    Stunningly good cosplay again, Georgia! (Do the walls in your walk in closet expand to accommodate? Or do yo just add more closets? = ) It's never a good idea to lead with one's ego in a fight. This causes one to do fundamentally not very bright things. Like, for example...set oneself up for getting pin-cushioned with arrows. IF that were the ONLY way...(which is was not) THEN he should have at least used the bodies of one or more of the guys he killed to absorb the arrows INSTEAD of him. His way was not very well thought out...which, of course, happens when one thinks with their glands.
