SPOILER attention!
* This article contains spoilers for the eighth episode of “The House of the Dragon”.
After eight chapters of “The House of the Dragon” we are already accustomed (although we were already indoctrinated by “The Throne of Swords”) not to get attached to anyone. However, the most predictable death of the entire first season of the HBO Max series did a lot of harm because the character, and his actor, offered us formidable moments, capable of overshadowing Rhaenyra, Alicent, Daemon and any dragon of Westeros.
The penultimate chapter of the season, titled ‘The lord of the tides (The lord of the tides)’, culminated with King Viserys, who had already shown how much sickness had consumed him moments before, giving his last breath and leaving the the debate on the succession to the Iron Throne is still very turbulent. Paddy Considine concludes his journey in the series after earning the applause of the public and the team themselves, including George RR Martinthat the Emmy is already asking.

The actor who played Viserys throughout the eight chapters recently posted a message on Instagram thanking him for it “the beautiful words” who received his interpretation and said goodbye to the series. “I can’t answer all the comments, but I would like to make sure they haven’t gone unnoticed. It has been an amazing adventure and I’ve made many new friends who will stay with me for the rest of my life. Life. I’d like to thank the creators for giving me the freedom to make Viserys my own. I’ve never loved a character so much.”. His last words to him: “Viserys was a gift. I’m so honored that he found me. Not now.”.
The secret of his character
He also dedicates some nice words to Sian Brooke, who played his first wife, Queen Aemma Arryn, at the beginning of the series, and who assures that she was the key to the entire development of Viserys: “She only came for a few days, but she turned my character around with her brilliant performance and her commitment to work. The impact stayed with me until my last words, which were improvised. She unlocked the piece. missing the puzzle and allowed my story to be closed. From the moment he dies, so does Viserys. It was a love story. This is the secret that I have brought with me. Although he was getting sicker and sicker, he never asked for a cure. He accepted his suffering in silence, never forgiving himself for exposing his beloved wife to such torture in his last moments. “.
As we said, the author of “Fire and Blood” himself was delighted by Paddy Considine’s performance. He says that, in fact, he managed to create a version of it “much more powerful, tragic and complete” of the character compared to what he wrote, and he assures it in his blog inspired him to the point of “almost be tempted to go back, rip those chapters and rewrite the entire history of his reign” in the novel. “Paddy deserves an Emmy. If he doesn’t get it, there’s no justice” says the writer.
“The house of the dragon” will publish its last two chapters on Monday 17 and 24 October on HBO Max.
