HouseOfTheDragon is already illustrating the Targaryens' cluelessness when it comes to the people of King's Landing.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 4 of House of the Dragon.Even though HBO’s House of the Dragon is one of the most expensive television shows ever made, the Game of Thrones prequel series hasn’t overwhelmed viewers with non-stop action. We didn’t get our first glimpse of large-scale combat until the epic standoff between Daemon Targaryen and the “Crabfeeder” in last week’s “Second of His Name.” This week’s episode, “King of the Narrow Sea,” featured no major set pieces.
Although she’s excited by this change of pace, Rhaenyra soon gets a taste of what the common folk really think about their leaders. She and Daemon observe a sordid play that describes how Rhaenyra was named by her father, King Viserys I , as his rightful heir. The play makes a mockery of Viserys’ marriage to Alicent Hightower , who subsequently gives birth to his son.
Is Viserys Clueless About What's Going On in His Kingdom? As we see later in the episode, Viserys has become completely ignorant of anything beyond what Ser Otto Hightower tells him. Viserys is constantly stewing in his chambers, looking over a model of his city as he considers his decisions. This is a brilliant way of showing his perspective. Viserys sees his city as a colorless, unchanging object.
