Never mind if that was the case he would have told her years before but because that's what she wanted ,her son on the throne, she's gonna run with the king wanted Aegon to be the heir, as his last wish.

Everyone kept wondering how Viserys remained alive for as long as he did got their answer tonight. That man had an immense will to live. He summoned the last of his strength to rise from his deathbed and walk into the throne room under his own power to sit on the Iron Throne one last time and then to hold a final dinner with his family. And it truly sucks that a misunderstanding of his last words help kick off something he never wanted.

While it does suck that there's a misunderstanding with his last words, the war would have happened even if he had said nothing. I mean Alicent KNOWS that Viserys is on milk of the poppy and that it muddles his brain, he has clearly not been talking much sense for awhile now yet she chose to take these very confusing and messy last words of his as she wanted. I mean c'mon Viserys hasn't wavered once all these years about Rhaenyra but he suddenly does out of the blue, while sick, not making any sense, and clearly confused? If she had good intentions she would have understood him for talking nonsense and just kept quiet, but she just uses it as a justification to enact what she wished for all along: make Aegon heir.
Vaemond wasn’t introduced in this episode, he’s been in several. He gave the eulogy at Laena’s funeral, making subtle but obvious remarks on Rhaenya’s kids to which Daemon inappropriately (or appropriately) interrupted by laughing.

I have to applaud the consistent and touching performance of King Viserys throughout the series. He portrayed a truly benevolent and caring patriarch. His speech at the dinner-table was tear-inducing. With his every breath you could feel the sorrow, joy and hope for the people around the dinner table. Even though he was not born a great warrior nor a great conqueror, you believe he would die a thousand deaths if he knew it would save the life of any single person at the table. So with the last ounce of his fading strength, his only plea is that when he no longer has any life to live - nor give, that everyone at the table...simply not strike against the other. So tragic. R.I.P. King Viserys, first of his name.
Viserys may have been a broken man here, but he silenced everyone with that entrance, a true king.
Viserys definitely thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. I like this telling of the story, having Vis unintentionally start the Dance of Dragons.

Props to the special effects makeup and set departments, they're absolutely killing it. It would shock me if Paddy Considine doesn't get an Emmy nomination for this role.
I think the fruits of that final scene are going to be heartbreaking. Rhaenyra and Alicent were so close to reconciling.

Sadly, a lot of this could have been avoided if Visery had just let Daemon be his heir, or let him marry Rhaenry years ago when Damon first asked. They would have been in love, had a true pure heir, and no one would have tried to contest the child. But, when he married Alienct and allowed her to take over the castle there was no going back. Now all hell is about to break loose.

I missed that a series made me feel this hype, it is so well written and produced and the performances are perfect.
The writing, the acting, and omg the makeup job on Viserys were all perfect on this episode. I love it and it feels like we just started the main story while episodes 1-7 were simply the prologue.
Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen gave a phenomenal performance 👏🏾 Each scene he appeared in, I cried.

Everyone seems to unanimously break at the moment Daemon helps Viserys up to his throne.. But FOR ME, I was actually sobbing when Daemon first sees Viserys in his current state. FUCKING PROPS to Matt Smith, dude. The nuances in his facial acting in that scene. Where he couldn't even bear to see his brother in that state. And i'm about 99% positive there's a single tear that rolls down Daemon's face. I am just floored by the S tier acting from EVERYONE in this series. Emma D'Arcy's performance in those moments really just sell their entire family dynamic. I'm so immersed everytime I'm watching this show, because the performances are just SO GOOD. So convincing. I feel like anyone who has had to watch someone they love(thats old, suffering from disease, etc.), can reallllly feel those scenes.

Two fun facts: - King dropping his crown was actually an accident during the filming but they did not interrupt but just kept on rolling with it. Turned out great it seems, wasn't in the script. - How the King dies in the books is different: there is no "accidently talk" to Alicent in the books so she could "mistake" and make her son the next king. King passed in his nap in his room alone and he was found by the queen, but she did not want to inform the realm of his death but instead locked the gate, put two guards there and left him there for a week so the Greens could plot the crowning of the next heir.
Ngl, i legit cried the moment Viserys entered the hall and his crown fell off then Daemon picked it up, help him get back up and put his crown again in his head. Daemon really loves his brother and vice versa. 😭😭 P.S : I love how Daemon be like : "KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT OF YOUR F****** MOUTH!!!!" To Vaemond.😂

It broke my heart the scene with Rhaenyra and Viserys in bed and in his unconsciousness says "my only child", that to me says it all. To him Rhaenyra will always be his true child. Doesn't mean he doesn't love the others but in his heart he only sees her daughter as the legacy of him and Aemma and that makes me so sad.

Wasn't it obvious?
Episode 8 was terrific, all around. The look on Viserys' face as he surveys the room -- he nows this will be the last time these people will be in a room together, "peaceful" like this. He knows his feeble body and harried breath is the only thing keeping them from tearing each other apart. In fact, as soon as he is carried out of the room, violence erupts immediately. I feel so bad for him. What a performance by Paddy Considine. And I think we were all theorizing that Alicent might misinterpret Viserys' last words, and it seems that's exactly what happens. She cannot in good conscience thinks this is the one (1) time Viserys is lucid enough to make proclamations on who should sit the throne... but she will use it as justification to install her son on it nevertheless. The final two episodes cannot come any sooner!
Aemonds actor is phenomenal, he was one of my favourite characters in The Last Kingdom so happy to see him in this, Helaena's actress was also in The Last Kingdom. Love seeing lesser known actors showing up in such a huge show.

This episode was probably my most favorite so far but of course it is the saddest because watching viserys walk into the throne room and Daemon helping him made me cry and the dinner was also upsetting because all viserys wanted was his family united together and no more fighting but of course we all know that they only acted to come together during the dinner because he wished it and then ended up fighting after he left the room not respecting His wishes but the ending with Alicent was crazy when viserys thought he was talking to Rhaeneyra and now alicent is gonna go forward with seeing aegon on the throne no matter what it’s gonna be crazy.
Viserys thought he was talking to his daughter at the end
Best scene of the entire show so far for me has to be Daemon helping Viserys make through those final steps and crowning him. They spent most of the season at odds because Viserys kept sending Daemon away, but even with his hand (Otto), his wife, his daughter and everyone else in the room, it was his brother that helped him. They really loved each other, and makes you wonder what could've been avoided if he had been his hand from the beggining
Paddy better win Emmys for his performance in this show.
Just when I thought this show couldn’t get any better, this episode drops a bomb and OMG it was so damn good!
Per the inside the show segment the show runners confirm that at the end Viserys thought he was continuing the conversation with Rhaenyra from earlier.
Looking back at that Small Council Meeting at the beginning of the episode, there actually was some support for Rhaenyra and Lucerys' claim. King's Landing may still hold some allies for Rhaenyra.

Yes, there's still some support for Rhaenyra within King's Landing, and Otto & Alicent will try their best to quash that. Also, look out for the twin knightsguard Ser Erryk & Ser Arryk. If they stay true to the book, their stories would be one of the most heartbreaking moment in the series.
Aemond watching intensely with impressiveness as Daemon slices a skull in half is literally all I need from this show. Would be great to see those two on the same side… Basically they’re one and the same, with Aemond sitting in silence being a straight threat (throwback to young Daemon)
20 years have passed since Episode 1 and Daemon hasn’t aged.

Okay, Daemon is both crazy terrifying and crazy good. The casting is so good in this.
Your explanation about the conversation between King Viserys and Alicent at the end was spot on! Also, Rhaenyra also has a son now named Aegon. There's two Aegon in the series-- Aegon the Elder and Aegon the Younger.
In the end Daemon really cares about his brother. All this could be resolved if Raenyra married whit Daemon. Now the dance begins! Regards from Brazil!

The smart thing to do if you hear Daemon dare you to say something , keep quiet and walk away.
The funny part is as much as they arent on the same side. Daemon knows aemond is the new "him" and every look is like "that cheeky little fuck said what i would have said" and when he cut off vaemonds .. head... aemond was like... that was a nice move.
Poor Viserys, he may be a bad king, but he's indeed a good man, through and through. Never felt this sad feeling to see him like that for years, Paddy Considine deserves Emmy and Golden Globe next year
the "he can keep his tongue" line might be one of the greatest lines in GOT
Y’all gotta watch The Last Kingdom. That’s the main thing the actor that plays Aemond has been in and he killed it in that show
dude, kudos for the quick upload! i was waiting which reaction channel got this... lol
Viserys did think he was talking to Rhaenyra and was refering to Aegon I's dream. Alicent took it at he was referencing Aegon II. Rhaenyra does have a play left becuase she named her first boy with Daemond Aegon as well, then second Viserys with a pure Targaryen blood line. She can claim that she told Viserys that and he was actually referring to her first born son to Daemon as the prince that was promised.

Daemon saying 'he can keep his tongue,' followed by Aemond glaring at his Uncle while still conveying a barely-there smirk of approval and glee was invigorating af. I involuntarily screamed 'Let's go!' at the top of my voice capacity as if I was responding to commands from Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, lol. Dark Sister is the MVP of the episode.

Viserys was a king and a father in this episode. Pulled at my heart.
Man I love Viserys so much. Such a great King, and an even better man. I’m glad he was able to see all of his loved ones before he passed at least. Thinking about him makes me really sad.
I love how each generation realizes how foolish they were in their ways but it’s too late because their children have already gotten the same ambitions
I love aemond already even with the little screen time they gave him
