The audience — no matter whether you’re — should be united on a few notes: (1) It was awfully funny last week to that he’s been, at least temporarily, outmatched by Rhaenyra; (2) The formerly magnetic Daemon has been almost been completely wasted this season at Harrenhal and has now endured, like, six weeks of visions that were certainly orchestrated by Alys Rivers. This week, however, the haunting of Daemon moves past beheading young Rhaenyra and watching Viserys further fall apart. By way of the Weirwood tree, he sees a montage vision of future events including Daenerys, her eggs, her blood-magic dragons, and White Walkers, which collectively (and apparently) suggest the message that “winter is coming,” which he later utters out loud.
Finally, these visions are going somewhere, even if they do feel very “wtf” and almost random in execution. These new visions miraculously lead Daemon to bend the knee to his Queen (his vision also included her on the Iron Throne) when Rhaenyra surfaces in Harrenhal upon suspicion of her husband’s treachery. His new attitude feels awfully abrupt (it sure looks like the show isn’t going to include Nettles from the book), but that oddness does not surpass what we saw go down in Daemon’s head.
In an episode with very little action, at least viewers could react to the “what the hell is happening” factor: OMG! Let’s unpack Daemon’s vision at the Godswood: Brynden Rivers confirmed to be the Three-Eyed Raven, White Walkers, the birth of Dany’s dragons, Rhaenyra on the Throne, Helaena has foreseen it all — Black Girl Nerds (@BlackGirlNerds) daemon just saw the night walkers, dany and her three dragons. wow — asabere. (@ster___ling) DAEMON SEEING HIS DESCENDANT DAENERYS!!! SHE WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS AND FOREVER MISSED🥺 — 🗡️ (@VISVNYA) Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons appearing in Daemon's vision! 🔥🐉 — Wiki of Thrones (@WikiOfThrones) Also, does Daemon look a little too much like the white walker general? A fan theory might be born.
IS THE WHITEWALKER KING DAEMON!??!! WTF WAS THAT — ⟡⋆*☆ ̊ʚ♡ɞ ̊ ☆*⋆⟡ (@cenobiite) If they implying daemon is the white walker general. I’ll never watch the show again. If they implying that daemon is having the same vision as aegon the first ab the long night , I’ll forgive it a lil but still hate it.
— KinGJay (@jayacosta12) So Daemon is 1 of the white walker generals? Lol, the long haired one looks like him — Cal Bundy 🇬🇩 (@BKFlatbushRep) The 2nd pic is not night king, the 2nd guy has blonde hair no spokes also it was daemon's hallucination maybe he just saw himself as a white walker if he didn't support the right team — M Nikhil (@MNikhil17680878) AYE YO WHAT THE FUCK?!?!
