‘House of the Dragon’ Boss Breaks Down Daemon’s Vision in Season 2 Finale: We’re ‘Not Trying to Make Any Kind of Specific Interpretation of a Prophecy’
Michaela Zee SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for HBO’s “House of the Dragon” Season 2 finale, titled “The Queen Who Ever Was,” now streaming on Max. After wandering the corridors of Harrenhal and being haunted by ghosts from his past for the majority of the season, Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) has a different vision in the “House of the Dragon” Season 2 finale — one that ultimately convinces him to reaffirm his full allegiance to his wife/niece, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). In this vision, brought by Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) and a weirwood tree, Daemon is offered a glimpse into the future: He sees flashes of himself drowning, dead dragons, a White Walker leading an army of wights and Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke in “Game of Thrones”) with her three baby dragons.
