MASTERFUL MOVE. Forced Daemon to kill his own man. While he secured his own control over his bannermen by showing Daemon had no loyalty. Completely under the guise of serving justice.

[@TheRealHerbaSchmurba]

I did not interpret it that way. Brilliant honestly. People hate on the Harrenhal plot but without it we wouldnt get this. And people hate what Daemon has become but I like seeing the nuance that this situation is forcing out of him.

[@TheRealHerbaSchmurba]

@@emanuel81111 i disagree and disagree strongly. Daemon was a callous unremorseful, impulsive, reckless and over rationalizing person who cared only about his own prestige. He believed himself deserving because of strength, and never felt remorse for how he treated Viserys, his kids or Rhaenyra, or for the evil hes done to Rhea Royce and allowed to happen to the small fold by Willem. Daemon deciding to kill Willem, after seeing how Willem’s actions that were done in selfish haste in the name of house Targaryen, is a mirror of Daemon killing the part of himself that acts out with selfish haste for his own gain. He is dispensing justice for Blackwood and against himself. After this Dwemon’s purpose will be reworked. He will no linger be a callous, selfish and rationalizing person, but a loyal fighter who will die for his family. He gained virtue from this ordeal.

[@emanuel81111]

@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba have you read my comment? i said Daemon was already merciless, evil, unremorseful, impulsive and reckless person. Hes just the way you said in the last comment, this Harrenhal arc is showing Daemon as he is, he never changed, UNTIL NOW, now Harrenhal is showing him all his flaws, all his inner conflict, all the bad stuff he has made, hes in a sort of magical inner therapy with himself and the weirwood tree. Now Daemon starts to realize hes far far from what he thinks he is, a little kid is putting him in his place, his own actions betrays him , people hate him. Now he realizes hes not made to be a king. He should focus himself on being a good husband, a good father, thats what really matter...

[@danieldickson8591]

I read a lot of people talking up how "Daemon was owned by a child," which is factually true; but Oscar Tully made a master play. Pretending to be a callow youth he tapped Daemon's arrogance and overconfidence, causing him to openly reveal his real character and intentions. Then by publicly forcing Daemon to accept his chastisement and bend to his will, Oscar cemented the respect and loyalty of the river lords.

[@aaronbrutus2654]

Correct. The boy is clearly much more intelligent than he let on. However, he really HAD to go about things that way because if his just followed Daemon's lead like a puppy dog, they were never going to follow him. He played his hand perfectly. He secured respect and tamed a rabid dog, for the time being...

That's what happens when you actually RAISE your heirs instead of relying on dragons to be your entire personality. Targaryens spent so long above the politics of other houses that when they come across those who can actually play the game they get stumped.

@@aintsleptinninetyyears3621 Yep. People don't entirely get why most of these Great Houses ruled for hundreds or, in certain cases like the Starks and Lannisters, THOUSANDS of years.

101 medieval politics: the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal

[@alirezadehghani5873]

Not sure irl, but in Westeros that's not true. Every lord, paramount or petty, every night, landed or not, are sworn an outh to the crown and to their direct liege. This multi-allegience is a big issue in every conflict or civil war in Westeros. Most lords, including ones in this scene, need to be knighted in order to be decently respected by vassals. So basically they swear to the king mire than once in their life time.

[@pavelshliaha1706]

@@alirezadehghani5873 exactly. Jamie Lannister points it in a monologue, where he explains that he, as a knight is forced to swear complete obedience to many powers, and when they are in conflict you will need to break allegiance with some of them. This is obviously true for medieval ages as well. You can't be simultaneously loyal to your king and your baron, since your baron and king might go to war. There is no way to reconcile this problem, because it is not a bug but a feature.

​@@gooby214he's saying that including "consort" is bad for him since daemon didn't like that part of it. But I personally believe He sealed his fate once he initiated bending the knee to Oscar and letting him judge the issue and not the higher authority Daemon.

[@gontrandjojo9747]

@@alirezadehghani5873 And what he said still doesn't make sense. Calling Daemon king consort is absolutely not why Daemon killed him. I'm pretty sure Daemon at this point didn't even care or paid attention. Blackwood sealed his fate when he agreed to do Daemon's dirty work, believing he had his protection. But what Daemon wanted was the River lords swords even if he had to sacrifice Blackwood to get them. When Oscar told Daemon: "make your choice: it's our swords and Blackwood's head or you can go f... yourself" then he was virtually dead. Calling him "king consort" or "god emperor of the universe" wouldn't change anything.

[@masterplokoon8803]

​@@alirezadehghani5873 the "consort" part is vital when it comes to displaying loyalty to Rhaenyra. When someone calls someone "Queen" one does not imediatly assume supreme authority as queens are usually merely the wife of the king. The word "King" alone imediatly presumes supreme authority which is why kings who were merely the husbands of rulling queens needed to be refered as "king consort" or some other name, otherwise people might mistake them as rhe supreme authority.

[@williamfrank962]

Oscar is exactly how Bran should’ve been presented in seasons 6, 7 and 8.

[@jenwilly7260]

Daemon did what needed to be done to secure House Tully and the Rivermen for Rhaenyra's cause. He paid penance for what he did (though Willem DID go off-script and did things he was instructed not to do). Similar to how he insteucted Blood & Cheese and THEY went off-script. He even publicly admitted his personal failings here. This actually did show a lot of growth in Daemon. I wonder if he now accepts that he is not the heir for a reason and fully supports Rhaenyra now...

[@MrDibara]

Alys Rivers was right, House Tully has a lot of wisdom that held the Riverlands together. Maybe Daemon ought to learn a thing or two from Oscar.

I hope we see his brother and the rest of the Blackwoods Literally the best part of the Dance is not the battles of knights but the guerrilla war of Riverlands against thouse armies Is like hunting in a zoo

[@sticit2mn]

I love the layers in this scene. Oscar exposed the intention of Willem to commit atrocities and hide behind the crown(Daemon). Willem and Daemon were using each other for their own ends. The difference between Daemon and Willem is that, when confronted about their intentions, Daemon admits his self-interest and desires. Willem lies and plays the " Daemon told me to do it. I listen to my leaders, i was just being a good subordinate" angle. Everyone knows he did it because he wanted to out of malice and disdain for the Brackens. It was easy for Daemon to execute him after he tried to throw Daemon under the bus multiple times. He even flew royal banners while committing war crimes of his own volition. Which further proves Oscars point and makes him the snake who betrayed Daemon and not the other way around.

[@danieldickson8591]

I agree with almost everything you said, except that it was easy for Daemon to execute Willem. Willem had actually been a willing and loyal henchman, doing what his liege wanted albeit not the way he wanted it. Daemon was forced to betray that loyalty, and you can see the grief that caused Daemon on his face after beheading Willem.

[@asahel980]

In case you dont know, Oscar has a brother named Kermit and their father's name is Elmo and as you know their granfather's name is Grover. named after Sesame street characters.

I'm surprised that Blackwood didn't ask for a trial by combat.

[@gooby214]

There was no trial for Willem. Trial by combat is for those whose guilt has not fully been determined. Willem is deemed guilty already here. No trial at all is required. All he could do was ask to be allowed to take the black.

I don’t see why the Blackwoods would want to fight for the blacks and Daemon at this point. I think offering some financial compensation or some resources would’ve been the better way to handle it. Why wouldn’t the Blackwoods go turncloak? The Karstark’s betrayed Robb when he killed Rickard the lord of Karhold

Oscar, his brother Kermit, his father Elmo, and his great-grandfather Grover are references by George R. R. Martin to The Muppets, with Oscar being inspired by Oscar the Grouch.

I suppose some people might already mentioned this in other comments. But each time I watched this, I just imagined a fish (like the one in Spongebob) slapping a dragon like Caraxes, telling it to not f**k things up next time.

The fact that the commenters are reveling in the character assassination of a major character(for no reason) is appalling.Daemon had no problem rallying the riverlords to rhaenyra’s cause.He’s been getting men to fight under his banner since before Oscar was even a thought
