I feel like I could just fast forward through the Daemon parts and not miss a thing - "here we have Daemon looking blankly off to the right, hands curled, face as contorted as the botox will allow, conversing with the air again but will now jump-scare when someone inhabiting the actual plane of reality asks him a question and he dimly returns to himself & the person speaking to him." *yawn*
Aemond (who my autocorrect insists is Almond) is farking creeeepy. Gives me the absolute heebs, which I'm sure is the point. He almost makes me like Joffrey Baratheon. Almost.

I quite like Matt Smith in the role. The point of Daemon, and why he was never named king, is that he doesn't really think things through.
As for Aemond, definitely ultra creepy and gives off serial killer vibes. Joffrey was always dumb and violent, but Aemond seems calculating, which is much worse. His appearance comes off a bit ham sometimes though. He definitely has a naturally weird smile, but he also really plays up (and over plays up) the body language at points. I'd call his smile more of a Jack Nicholson Joker than a duck face.
