They've shown his impotence before though and they show stuff like that for a reason. I have zero doubt that Daemon sees himself as the "true" Targ between himself and his brother, and would happily have bedded his niece in a heartbeat if his willy hadn't betrayed him at the crucial moment.Bregxit said:They said his impotence was caused by Rhaenyra liking it, thus taking away his power/control. Not that he was generally impotent.Teddy Perkins said:
The post episode discussion mentioned Daemon couldn't go through with it because of his impotence. When watching I got the vibe that he didn't go through with it because he knew he shouldn't.
When I watched it my initial thought was he had a crisis of conscience moment that he shouldn't be ****ing his niece.

I won't dispute the writers/directors and all, but I really thought daemon planned the whole brothel visit to stir sh** up

I may be wrong, but was the boy who gave the info to Otto the same boy who spoke to Daemon's lady friend in a later scene?
Yeah, I was definitely glad he got his comeuppance for running his mouth instead of the kid dying, haredline248 said:
After all the machinations of the last half hour I almost forgot about that fight. Homeboy opened up his mouth and caught a sword to the gut for it. I actually cheered a little for that.
Some of you have eagle eyes if you can tell that kid is the same, he was on screen for less than 3 seconds and we only got a profile view while Daemon was lying in bed.Stive said:ExpressAg11 said:

I wondered the same thing. Sure looked like the same kid.
It was definitely the same kid, but not sure why he would give her the money. Unless its a way of Otto paying her indirectly...Kampfers said:Some of you have eagle eyes if you can tell that kid is the same, he was on screen for less than 3 seconds and we only got a profile view while Daemon was lying in bed.Stive said:ExpressAg11 said:

I do think that the writers included that purposely (and juxtaposed those scenes back to back) to make us think about the connection though. It appeared the kid gave the lady money - the payment that Otto had given him? FWIW I don't think it's the same kid - I think it's a red herring.
Brackens and Blackwoods have been killing each other for centuries and kept renaming a plot of land about some chick's boobs or something.Kampfers said:Yeah, I was definitely glad he got his comeuppance for running his mouth instead of the kid dying, haredline248 said:

FWIW the GoT wiki lists a "Ser Amos Bracken" as dying in this episode, and as far as I remember, that guy was the only person who died. That said, I went back and the coat of arms he's wearing looks a lot more like a Baratheon one. But maybe that's because they were in Storm's End (also, first Storm's End sighting! Can't believe that hasn't been mentioned yet).
Now, it's been a long time since I read any of the ASOIAF materials, but if memory serves the Brackens and Blackwoods don't particularly like each other. IIRC they might have been introduced when Jamie was cleaning up the Riverlands?

Maybe Alicent it as a just in case?Stive said:
But was the King convinced she had slept with Daemon and had the Plan B Tea delivered? Or was someone else in with the maester and had it sent? Could someone else have sent a messenger to the maester and made it seem like it was from the king? As naive as the king is I took it as he believed his daughter but the maesters visit totally threw me off and I was trying to figure out who would have sent him to take care of her Cole problem.

Unless my memory's fuzzy, they changed the manner of death for Baelon, as Viserys referred to his belly bursting. I think in Fire and Blood he caught an arrow or a bolt in the neck. Anybody remember?

Then was it his brother who caught the arrow/bolt in the neck? (Aemon?)

Daemon's a habitual line stepper
Walking through the brothel after he took her hat off it seemed like he was trying to build her street cred by having her seen by the common folk and having the word spread.redline248 said:
One thought about whether or not Daemon intended for them to be seen... He took of her hat so that everyone would see her silver hair. He wanted everyone to know she was there
