Daemon and Viserys’ poignant moment on House Of The Dragon wasn’t scripted
, with a emotionally complex dinner party and a misunderstood conversation that is going to annoyingly serve as the basis of an entire war, but one of its best moments—arguably one of the best moments in the wholeHBO franchise—came after Paddy Considine’s King Viserys made his dramatic “I’d like an Emmy, please” entrance during the big debate sequence.
Halfway through the episode, with his body intensely decayed from the disease that his made him age 100 years while his relatives haven’t aged at all, Viserys slowly limps his way to the Iron Throne while everyone looks on in stunned silence. After stumbling on one of the steps up to his pointy chair, his crown falls off and is quickly retrieved by his brother, Daemon , who has basically been a big dick to Viserys for the whole show.
She did, of course, because it’s in the episode, but it still feels a little like finding out that Jack Gleeson came up with the idea to behead Sean Bean on set and didn’t tell anybody until after Ned Stark’s head had been taken off.
