For the past several episodes of House of the Dragon, Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) has been haunted by a parade of ghostly visions that double as cameos of past actors on the show.
First, Milly Alcock returned as young Rhaenyra Targaryen, then Nanna Blondell reprised her role as Laena Velaryon. But in Season 2, episode 6, we reach what feels like the final boss of these visions, as Paddy Considine dons the crown of King Viserys Targaryen once again.
‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2, episode 6: Who is Seasmoke’s new rider?
Viserys’s return feels monumental because almost every vision Daemon has had so far has reminded him of his relationship with his late brother. Young Rhaenyra needled Daemon over Viserys passing him over as his heir, while his mother Alyssa (Emeline Lambert) told him that he would have been a much better, stronger ruler than Viserys.
