    Honestly, season two had so much Daemon brooding that it felt like they didn’t know what they wanted to do with his character

      It’s more they couldn’t move the plot along due to budget but had to deliver 8 episodes of content. This was a filler season of revisiting the same topic over and over and over in case audiences didn’t understand the first time.

      Right?!

      And the thing is, so much cool stuff is happening in the book at that time, there was no need to focus on his boring-ass time at Harrenhal.

        Yeah but he’s Matt Smith and top billed so he has to have screentime. (I think? I don’t actually watch it.)

          That’s the only excuse I can think of for it too. The problem is they didn’t write up much for him to work with.
