House Of The Dragon 10 Grossest Moments So Far

Here are the 10 grossest things in “House of the Dragon” Season 1. “House of the Dragon” is a hit, and it’s clearly trying to raise the bar set by “Game of Thrones” in every department — including disgust and shock value. Just shy of half a season in, this show is on track to out-gross its predecessor with violence, body horror, and incest. It might be nauseating to watch sometimes, but it’s still impressive.

To celebrate this perverse achievement, here are the 10 grossest things in “House of the Dragon” Season 1 (so far). 10. The Death of Lyman Beesbury George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood” actually offers several options as to how Viserys’ master of coin was killed by the Green Council — none of which made it into the show. Instead of a boring old throat-slitting or having his head thrown out a window (melodramatic), Beesbury is killed when Criston Cole grabs him by the shoulders and pushes him too firmly down in his seat. Beesbury’s torso falls forward onto the table, where he is impaled upon a little ball that council members use to take roll. Criston’s ineptitude barely registers, and the rest of the room treats the growing pool of blood around Beesbury’s head as a minor inconvenience for the rest of the meeting. 9. “The Heir for a Day” The only verbal and not visual item on this list still bears noting. After Queen Aemma is killed in childbirth, her baby Baelon lives for a few hours before he also dies. Not one to lose out on even a day’s worth of smugness, Prince Daemon gets drunk and parties with his City Watch buddies, referring to baby Baelor as “the heir for a day.” This disgusting comment makes its way back to the King, who is honestly not mad enough about it. 8. Daemon and Rhaenyra Originally much higher on this list, the affair and subsequent courtship and marriage of this uncle and daughter has won over “House of the Dragon” viewers to the point that it is basically unremarkable. Daemon and Rhaenyra’s attraction was far more disquieting when she was clearly a teenager in love with her uncle, but goes down much easier with two consenting adults. These two have been making all kinds of eyes at each other since Episode 1, basically begging anyone to deliver on the family legacy of incest while speaking in High Valyrian like their own secret sexual language. Low points include their first date in a brothel after Daemon murdered his first wife, and having sex on the beach the same day as the funeral for his second. High points include getting married, not killing Rhaenyra’s first husband Laenor, raising three legitimately normal children (even by Westeros standards), and Daemon’s transformation into full-on Wife (Niece) Guy.

“Game of Thrones” loves a little casual dismembering (anyone else fast forward through all Theon’s scenes in Season 2?), and “House of the Dragon” wants to invoke those fond memories right off the bat in Episode 1. As commander of the City Watch, Daemon metes out justice to all kinds of criminals, mainly by cutting off their body parts. Later on, he cuts the Crab Feeder cleanly in half and drags his torso out onto the battlefield with organs trailing behind it. Larys Strong employs Daemon’s methods to cut out the tongues of King’s Landing convicts so that they can avoid execution and serve him as silent spies. 3. The Crab Feeder’s Schtick There are a lot of creative ways to kill people in Westeros, but Crab Feeder’s methods might take the cake. Ol’ Crabby is killing Westerosi soldiers in the Stepstones — but not with old-fashioned execution. Fatally injured soldiers are held hostage on the beach, where they roast in the sun while crabs feast upon their flesh. Not only is this disgusting to look at, but the screams of agony are especially potent, as if somehow conveying the perverse and drawn-out death these men experience. Throughout Episodes 2 and 3, the show cuts between King’s Landing and the Stepstones, often with a jarring, crab-centric transition and close up. No thanks! 2. Viserys’ Decay Something isn’t right with King Viserys, and it’s not just the fact that his parents were siblings. After being treated for an oozing sore in the first episode, Viserys begins to rot before our very eyes, from the hand that becomes maggot food to an entire arm a few episodes later and half his face in Episode 8, before he finally breathes his last. We never did get a clear diagnosis of what killed Viserys Targaryen, first of his name, but a licensed physician told IndieWire that it was because “his family is full of absolute insufferable turds.” May he rest in peace.
