They really all could have been a happy family if it wasn't for Otto

As sad as it is for Aegon, Aemond and Healena but for Viserys Rhenaenrya was and always would be his favorite child and his chosen successor!

These seemingly 'fake' emotions at the dinner was actually the most authentic we've ever seen them. It was the only time they were NOT putting on their masks. It shows that without the line of succession and primogeniture and all the other royal madness mirroring what existed in medieval Europe, these people could've been really good friends. But the system they lived in destined them to murder each other. It's like being born into rival blocks in southside chicago. You don't have much of a choice. The dinner sequence was so despairing because they all knew it was the last moments of solitude, but at the same time they probably did briefly delude themselves into thinking "maybe, just maybe things will work out". They’re all unwitting participants in a tragic theater that’s about to unfold.

Paddy Considine deserves an Emmy nomination for this performance also if it were leprosy Alicent would have contracted it by now

This show has had plenty of standout moments, but Viserys's walk to the throne knocked it out of the park. This really got me in the feels - especially when we saw the reveal of Daemon at his side.

We all know who Viserys loves more

Reanys wants her grand-daughters as the ruler of Driftmark,And indirectly she did it🙂🙃....

Team Blacks, Team Rhaenyra 🖤🔥

Vaemond forgot that Rhaenyra is also descended from the Velaryons, because Aenys I Targaryen who was the son of Aegon I The Conqueror Targaryen and Queen Rhaenys Targaryen Aegon I's sister wife married Alyssa Velaryon. Aenys and Alyssa had 6 children, among them Jahaerys and Alyssane who got married and had children, the two children Baelon and Alyssa had Viserys and Daemon and one of Jahaerys and Alyssane's children ended up marrying an Arryn and from there Aemma Arryn was born Rhaenyra's mother who eventually ended up marrying Viserys and in that marriage Rhaenyra was born. So Rhaenyra also has Velaryon descent.

That walk of the king, so epic, so well shot, they deservedly celebrated that moment.

"No one saw that coming"

Viserys has always understood the optics of being king. In his kingly scenes, whatever you might think of him, he just projects power.

Daemon is a true ride or die type

Viserys was talking about rhaenyra<3

She was like “yeah this seems like a good time to get a refill” 😮

"No one saw it coming "

I love how every single reaction features a massive pop for Daemon absolutely ANNIHILATING Vaemond in the blink of an eye

I love when things get tense and insults are thrown Luke looks like he's ready to throw fists while Jace just wants to get the hell outta there XD

Actually, Bran isn't the first person to have a wheelchair Bran mentions this to Tyrion in season 8.

Second sons be always stirring up troubles.
