Rhaenyra and Daemon introducing Aegon and Viserys to a dying King Visery | House Of The Dragon

#houseofthedragon #gamesofthrones #hbomax

The reign of House Targaryen begins: House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, is here. Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.

"A name fit for a king" and he ended up being one of the best kings

[ocvetkovic]

I love how he says it's a name fit for a king, but little Viserys is literally the absolute last in line to ever be king. But he ends up being one and actually continues the bloodline

[Lieutenant_Dude]

Even with half his face rotting away, he just exudes happiness when he sees his grandsons. Truly, this is the best character ASOIF has had put to film. He's such a good man.

Rhaenyra is unbelievably ethereal in this scene, like a Saint in a painting.

Paddy's acting as dying Visery's was perfect. The makeup and acting was on point.

I don’t think people appreciate Daemon’s acting as much on this episode. But everytime you see him with Viserys, you can tell it hurts for him to see his brother this way. Can definitely relate, and it sold the emotional pain for me in their interactions. Few words, all expression.

“I will not spend a year upon a horse, sleeping in strange beds and trading empty courtesies with drunken lords, half of whom would gladly see me dead if it gained them a groat. If any man requires words with me, he will find me on the Iron Throne.[...] I mean to give the smallfolk peace and food and justice.[...] Send the lords home to their own keeps and give the food to the hungry. Full bellies and dancing bears shall be my policy." - Aegon III Targaryen

Poor guy nearly cried when he realized his golden girl named her son after *him*.

Edit: Oh damn thanks for the likes!

Three Targaryens kings in a single scene...

The way Rhaenyra said “father” was just adorable 🥹

[annabellad.]

PARTS IN THIS SCENE I ULTIMATELY LOVE:
1. Viserys: "Daemon"
Daemon: "Brother"
In the 7. episode, when they spoke to each other, they finished their conversation similarly. How they call each other, the way they call each other is showing they still have their sibling bond.
2. The introducing of their children in "chronologically"
They start with the older and after the younger. The future kings met with the present king.
3. When Rhaenyra introducing the younger Viserys, Daemon caress his hair.
4. "That is a name fit for a king"
I love they laughing together on the pun.

She looks so happy when introducing her kids. Say what you will, she did her best as a mother.

[sheereenazad]

can't help but melt when daemon caresses little Viserys' hair

Daemon being sweet with his son is cute. Paddy’s acting is incredible. Emma is so beautiful and regal. The more I look at her face, the more beautiful she gets.

[peytonteague]

At the end of the day, Viserys just wanted his family to be happy and healthy. He loved his children and grandchildren, and the love he has for Rhae and her kids are unmatched. Aegon and Aemond seem like they couldn’t care less when he dies, only that Aegon becomes ruler. But Rhae will genuinely be devastated when Viserys dies.

That baby right there is Viserys II, who would go on to serve as hand of the king to his brother and both of his nephews ... and for a short while, after succession issues yet again, he would serve as King of Westeros. He was right in this scene after all, "Viserys" is a name befitting of a King! Well, maybe except Dany's older brother.

I love how Rhae bounces up happily to her father to introduce her children 😭💖

"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her [...] mother, if you could see my life, i cry as i laugh but my future remains grey and my heart too" - Aegon III coded after the dance 🥺

[SelfPhobic]

Notice how Daemon pets baby Viserys on the head, extension of his affection from his brother to his son

[iloveads]

Actually Viserys II was the one who continued the blood line of Viserys, being the closest to Daenerys and Jon in the times of the dance...
