For all his faults, Daemon has an incredible quantity of religion in himself. The would-be ruler and accomplice to Queen Rhaenyra (D’Arcy) desires to run the world and thinks he ought to, and it is this confidence — to the exclusion of the recommendation of all others — that will get him into quick bother at Harrenhal. The long-cursed location has already made appearances within the prequel collection, first as the positioning of the murders of Lyonel and Harwin Sturdy, then as a key strategic location for each the Greens and the Blacks in season 2. Most lately, Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) advised Daemon the fortress was haunted, a warning he clearly did not pay any thoughts.
I am glad he did not: Daemon having a Actually Unhealthy Time at Harrenhal makes for higher TV than most of “Home of the Dragon” season 2. His robust religion in himself (a God complicated, in different phrases) is rapidly undermined when he begins to have disturbing goals and hallucinations, together with one wherein he cuts off younger Rhaenyra’s head and one other that sees him have intercourse together with his personal blood-spattered mom. Daemon is clearly destabilized by these visions, which are not restricted to when he is unconscious, and admittedly, it is nice to see dangerous issues occur to dangerous folks for as soon as on this present. Episode after episode has introduced us useless youngsters and grieving mothers, however for as soon as, we’re proven a personality who actually sucks getting some entertainingly unusual comeuppance within the type of ghostly psychological torment.
