In the episode titled “Regent,” Daemon Targaryen, portrayed by Matt Smith, experiences a disturbing hallucination involving an incestuous encounter with his mother, Alyssa Targaryen.
Viewers took to social media to voice their reactions. One fan on Twitter exclaimed, “Wtf Daemon and his mom!!! This Harrenhal arc must end!”
Another viewer expressed disgust, saying, “Daemon having sex with his mother is next level disgusting. I know Targaryens have weird customs, but this is absolutely gross.”
Other reactions include “This was so weird to watch,” “I’ll never recover from this scene,” and “I never thought I’d say this out loud but no one really ever needs a fever dream of incest with a character’s parent. It could have been a convo”
These sentiments reflect the broader discomfort felt by the audience, who are struggling to reconcile with the graphic and controversial nature of the scene.
The show has a history of pushing boundaries with its explicit content, a trend carried over from its predecessor, Game of Thrones. However, this particular scene has intensified debates about the portrayal of sensitive topics in television series.
Despite the backlash, House of the Dragon continues to captivate audiences with its complex characters and intricate plotlines.
