“Driftmark” feels positively soothing after last Sunday's episode—but not, unfortunately, all that interesting
Just like at a modern-day funeral reception, no one is happy to see each other, and everyone is behaving badly. Ser Laenor and Prince Aegon are both blasted drunk—the former because he’s reeling from the loss of his sister, the latter because he’s just a teenage dirtbag, baby. Sweet, foolish Viserys tries to mend fences with Daemon yet again, but his brother insists that Pentos is his home now. Rhaenyra sends Jacaerys and Lucerys to make nice with their grieving uncle and cousins.
Director Miguel Sapochnik conveys the sheer size of this legendary beast by showing him from Aemond’s point of view—so massive that the frame can only encompass his head and neck when the young prince wakes him from his slumber. Aemond nearly gets’d for his audacity; but he’s a Targaryen through and through, and Vhagar responds to the boy’s commands.
And Alicent, well, she’s fucking had it. She rips her husband’s Valyrian steel dagger from its sheath and turns the blade on Rhaenyra. And speaking of chemistry: D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke are burning with it in a scene that seems like it could as easily end in a furious makeout session as it could a murder.They hurl barbs at each other in front of every big macher in Westeros, spitting all the poison that’s been festering inside them for a decade and change.
Just kidding! On a balcony overlooking the sea, Rhaenyra approaches Daemon with an indecent proposal: The only way for her to strengthen her weakening claim to the Iron Throne is for the two to join forces Targaryen-style, which is to say with an incestuous marriage. “You and I are made of fire,” she says. “We were always meant to burn together.”This is a canny political move—and very bad news for Laenor.
