"He's going to have to develop again, otherwise he risks being broken again."
Ewan Mitchell | House of the Dragon Season 2 | Fan reaction to the final | Next for Aemond Targaryen?
[Ed. note: This post contains spoilers for the end of Season 2 of House of the Dragon.]
No one is sitting around happily in the season 2 finale of House of the Dragon. Rhaenyra and Alicent have a fresh, uneasy alliance; Aegon is on the run with Larys; Daemon and Criston prepare to face each other in battle; Otto is stuck in a dungeon somewhere. And yet few have seen such a meteoric rise and fall as Aemond, who in this season rose from prince to prince regent, severely maimed his brother, and took out two dragons (with Vhagar's help). Then he was blinded by dragon seeds, burned a city in anger, and dressed by his sister.
Actor Ewan Mitchell says he's always enjoyed playing these kinds of big, dramatic swings in his role as Aemond.
