Since Daemon Targaryan (Matt Smith) entered Harrenhal’s decrepit, spectral castle, he has been experiencing unsettling dreams and terrifying nightmares. Frankly, I must confess that I am growing weary of delving so frequently into Daemon’s psyche. Nevertheless, this recurring theme permits the series to reintroduce characters from “House of the Dragon” season 1 who have been absent for some time. Milly Alcock resurfaced as young Rhaenyra Targaryen, Nanna Blondell reemerged as Daemon’s deceased wife Laena Velaryon, and Paddy Considine made a comeback as Daemon’s brother, the late King Viserys I Targaryen, who met his demise at the conclusion of season 1.
