Fiery "Game of Thrones" prequel "House of the Dragon" brings viewers back to Westeros in explosive style. The series has an impressive amount of ground to cover in adapting George R. R. Martin's "Fire & Blood": "House of the Dragon" captures the Targaryen dynasty 200 years before Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) draws breath, as it descends into an incredibly complex war of succession. The family's legendarily hot temper is on full display in characters like Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) (https://www.looper.com/971709/the-untold-truth-of-prince-daemon-targaryen-from-house-of-the-dragon/), who is quick to anger and slow to learn, while their dragons incinerate their enemies with aplomb. Season 1 is stuffed with betrayal, subterfuge, and shocking choices, and fans can't get enough of it.
Even amidst all this cutthroat politicking and clandestine murder, certain moments in "House of the Dragon" manage to stand out as especially harrowing. Viewers watch people succumb to merciless illness, declare war against those they once held dear, and treat their own children with hideous contempt. Longtime fans of the franchise have come to expect this sort of intensity, but that doesn't mean these striking scenes don't linger in the mind long after the credits roll. These are "House of the Dragon" Season 1's most disturbing moments, ranked.
