HOUSE OF THE DRAGON RECAP BLOG: I Hope You Bought Daemon Targaryen Stock Before Last Night's Incredible Battle
Look at Daemon Targaryen pulling the biggest win out of his ass this side of Florida State. Coach Duggs knows what I'm talking about!

I'll admit that Daemon was on the top of my Sus List after the first couple of episodes where he seemed to want to fuck his niece, gave off Scar from Lion King vibes, stole his dead nephew's dragon egg, and has a first name that sounds exactly like Demon. Damn, when you list it all out, that's extremely demented.
Despite all that however, Daemon kicked some major ass last night, even though a good chunk of it was thanks to the Little Brother Phenomenon that can appear in all walks of competition.
I love my job and my coworkers (except for Large when he poor shames me).

Also it has to be said no matter how much it pains me to include it in this blog.
I didn't know if the Crabfeeder would be the Big Bad or even the Medium Bad for Season 1. Turns out he was the Small Bad with a sweet nickname that was necessary to help us ease into the Thrones renaissance and gave Daemon some big time Stone Cold Austin antihero vibes that will do whatever is necessary to win, even if it's killing the messenger, waving the white flag then turning over his sword before unleashing hell on an unsuspecting enemy.
George R.R. Martin said Daemon was his favorite character to write, so I cannot wait to see what typed of nuanced moments we have with him for as long as he sticks around.
Speaking of how sick George R.R. Martin is, I thought the most deranged up marriage proposal we would get was these two getting hitched.

Then exactly ONE (1) episode later, this kid was being offered to his older sister.
Good thing I have never been a ride or die fan of Otto Hightower. Nope, not me. Moving along…
Out of all the wild and mythical creatures that live in Westeros, the biggest surprise of all was the find out that pugs lived there.
I'm not complaining however. I fucking love pugs. You guys wanna look at some pug gifs? Good me too!

As for the more badass mythical creatures, welcome to the top of my current Dragon Power Rankings, Seasmoke!

Granted I think it's just Seasmoke, Syrax, and Daemon's inbred snake dragon on those power rankings. But Seasmoke has the name, the look, and the moxie of an elite dragon.
rereads last sentence
Fuck me, now I'm bringing the elite conversation into the fantasy realm. I apologize to all the nerds out there who have no idea how annoying this conversation is in the sports world.
After seeing Seasmoke throw dudes threw the air, I'm predicting a duo of dragons recreating this D Wade-LeBron picture except instead of a dunk, it results in a human getting eaten or burned alive.
I'm not sure if this painting started to give me a boner or sent a chill down my spine but it definitely made me feel something.
Shout out to King Viserys surviving two years after his political fuck ups in episode 2, even if he survived them all in a time jump and is quickly becoming the Rickey Cricket of Westeros.

I don't know about you guys, but I got major Winklevoss twins vibes from the Lannister brothers.
"If you guys were the inventors of Facebook…you'd have invented Facebook". Also keep your silver tongues away from my sweet Rhaenyra
This is Lyonel Strong.
Everything Lyonel Strong says is backed by purpose and logic. I like Lyonel Strong. Because of all that, I do not trust Lyonel Strong as far as I can throw him because I know how the Game of Thrones works. Plus he is the Master of Laws and I trust lawyers less than any profession outside of politicians, which I'm pretty sure Lyonel is pretty much does both.
I'm not sure if white harts exist in real life or if this was just symbolism being bashed into our brains harder than Dany's dragon roasting the Iron Throne to ash in Season 8. But I need to watch Sydnie Wells hunt a white hart (or at least a painted white buck) on Barstool Outdoors.
