It really did

That being the first time for half of the family to see how badly Viserys is doing, was just heartbreaking.

It really was

And so well acted, you could see how much it hurt all of them.

Definitely, everyone did a great job there

It was only soon after S1E8 that I learned that Paddy is on the autistic spectrum, and I was blown away by his acting a second time. Not only an incredible actor, but one who is this good despite ASD (I have it too so I know it makes a lot of things more challenging).

That throne room scene hit me more than anything in GOT S8, Viserys perseverence to defend his daughter and be the king one last time, Damon being the only one he allowed to help him up the final steps, Matt Smith also was amazing he looked so heartbroken. It just shows that good writing and character development matters more than effects.

Wow, I honestly didn't know that at all.

It really does

Even though Paddy's role is finished, he was perfectly cast IMO.

I'm working on the OP for this one. Are there any particular photos/GIFs/quotes anyone would like to see incorporated?

I could have sworn I was doing the OP for the Brothers that are Daemon/Viserys but it's this one!
