Something about this scene…. The first time we meet daemon and the first time we see them interact. And we already see so much! Like this is an extremely common filming technique but it’s usually used in close-up dialogues, and this is a very big scene with long distances. It’s the duality! He is sitting on the throne but she is the true queen he will kneel to in the future! They are shown as gothic doubles in the very first scene, which is beautifully straightforward.
