    Daemon Targaryen: The Lonely Dragon

    I still can’t get used to Matt Smith playing an incest-driven psychopath. In my heart, he’ll always be a goofy time traveler with a bow tie. House of the Dragon season two is just a few months away. The Want: A Dragon’s Hand Contrary to what you might believe, Daemon never coveted the Iron Throne.…
