murder the band members who abducted and sacrificed her? Loved this movie, but it is so strange to me that she did not go after the band members when becoming a demon. At first it might be explained as her being a bit out of it, having recently been murdered and all, but when the band comes back to town to play at the prom, it would have been a perfect moment for revenge. I mean Jennifer is obviously not the kind of girl to take much shit from anyone, and even more so as a demon. It just seems really strange that she would not want revenge on the people responsible for the most traumatizing moment in her life. Plus, it would be very cool to see their reactions to ger still being alive.

Something that has bugged me in the show is that Daemon Targaryen is always so eager to use the dragons on team black to slay Vhagar, or just in general use them head on against team greens Dragons. We know that he can be brutal and rash in the books as well, but this viewpoint goes against his character, and makes his whole war strategy seem more like he is being grounded and held back by rhaenyra, instead of being a deliberate and strategically clever choice. Daemon is first and foremost a targaryen supremacist, he loves Dragons, and during the entire first season he very rightly insists that it is Dragons that made them kings and conquerers.

In the books it seems like Daemon's plan of going to Harrenhal to rally the river Lords to his side is a very deliberate move to avoid the greens' Dragons. He can rally an army without fear of other Dragons, and he can use Caraxes in the safest and most effective way possible. He can use Caraxes to turn houses who have not yet pledged for a side without worrying that those houses are being protected by another dragon. He can use a great Dragon against enemies who have none, and therefore be assured victory against all undecided houses in the rivelands. This way, the illusion that Dragons are nigh invincible is maintained, and useless destruction and carnage is avoided. When he finally gets Aemonds attention, and Aemond goes to the rivelands to deal with him, he moves on kings landing. He is always making sure to NOT be where the greens dragons are. In the books he seems to be not only concerned with beating the greens, but also maintaining the long term Targaryen legacy and protecting his descendants from uprisings from the other noble houses. He is in a way, fighting two wars. It would be more in line with his character to make team green's Dragons riderless and therefore making them possible to claim. When the show made the change that Aemond was the original target in Blood and Cheese, they could have had Daemon make this point more clearly. When Daemon and Aemond finally face off at gods eye in the books, it happens after Daemon has spent the entire war avoiding Aemond. It is obvious that Daemon does not fear Aemond, but he still goes into the fight reluctantly. I think it is both because Vhagar obviously is a really dangerous dragon to face, no matter who is the rider, but also because of the consequences for house targaryen. Even if he wins, he will still have lost. The last of the great dragons that conquered westeros, the ultimate symbol of targaryen power, being slain in battle is not a good look, and it severely weakens the Targaryen legacy and reputation.

So yeah, I wish the show could make Daemon's passiveness in the show seem more like a reasonable and clever strategy by highlighting these points.
