HouseOfTheDragon has shown just how debilitating the consequences of leadership are.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 8 of House of the Dragon.The time jumps made in the first season of HBO’s House of the Dragon have been somewhat controversial so far. While Game of Thrones allowed younger stars like Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, and Isaac Hempstead Wright to grow up on screen, House of the Dragon has already condensed over 16 years into one season.
This makes the tragedy at the end of the pilot even more heartbroken. It’s as if Viserys received confirmation that his dreams would come true and questions whether he will be remembered as a worthy ruler of the throne. This shows the genuine challenges of making key decisions for the ruler. Even if Viserys’ decision to name Rhaenyra as his successor seemed ill-advised, it made sense to him at the moment.
The time jumps are most effective in showing the progression of Viserys’ relationship with his daughter. Rhaenyra had questioned her father’s decisions when she was young, but after 10 years, she’s come to treat him with more respect. She recognizes that Viserys will defend her until his last breath; even when it becomes obvious that Rhaenyra’s children are illegitimate to the naked eye, Viserys continues to voice his confidence in his daughter’s integrity.
