‘HOTD’ Ep 8 Twitter Reactions: Daemon Defending Rhaenyra In A Full Court Leaves Fans Screaming!

The eighth episode of House Of The Dragon has dropped, and more chaos has ensued! With King Viserys lying on death bed for the past three episodes and still managing to hang in there, while rest everyone else in the court was dying and getting sliced into like it was a joke, this episode had the audience hooked because it was going to showcase the events six years after the previous episode. More than anything else, Rhaenyra and Daemon’s union after the former came of age, was most anticipated by the watchers! As the ritual goes after each episode, fans of the show went on Twitter to share their reviews and thoughts about HOTD episode eight.
Starting right with Daemon’s reaction to Vaemond’s comments on Rhaenyra who insulted her by calling her a ‘whore’ in front of the entire court. Twitter cannot get enough of how Daemon jumped to his wife AKA the heir to the throne’s defence! We’re shipping them harder than ever, too!

People also got emotional over how Daemon helped Viserys sit on the throne and helps him wear the crown. This moment, undoubtedly, will be one of the most memorable ones of this season.
Daemon helping Viserys to his throne and crowning him. And this will be their last memory together. I'm so emotional!#HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD pic.twitter.com/o94H5wGzQk

Well, Alicent’s character has been behaving like a bitch from the moment she realised that her children do not have a claim to the throne. People are leaving no stone unturned to slam her and troll her for her uptight behaviour!

Viserys Targaryen’s entrance and walk to the Iron Throne in #houseofthedragon Ep8 was truly an unbelievable display of compassion, authority, and charisma ever and possibly the greatest entrance in tv history. 🤯

Daemon has displayed his two sides and people simping over him is totally justified. And we are simping over him right from episode one as well. His union with Rhaenyra in the last episode had the fans screaming rightly so because the tension between was thick between them since the start. With Viserys finally, finally coming out in support of Rhaenyra in front of the open court was such a gratifying moment. Alicent got shown her place, we couldn’t be happier!
