Rhaenyra, Alicent & Daemon in House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3
Summary House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3 is full of shocking surprises and callbacks to both the previous season and Game of Thrones itself. Daemon Targaryen has left for the Riverlands after a no-holds-barred fight with his wife Rhaenyra, and his quest to take Harrenhall gives viewers a deep look at his psyche even as it unlocks an important piece of Westeros lore.
Harrenhal Reflects Daemon’s State Of Mind In House Of The Dragon Season 2 Screen Rant: You direct an episode early this season, and you also direct the finale of season 2. How much do you know of the end when you're working on the beginning? Do you get a big picture when you're working on moments, such as the introduction of Alys Rivers? Do you know where that's going?
This episode is really the first time that we get a look at Harrenhal when it's not in flames. What are the challenges of portraying Harrenhal and making it feel unique compared to the other castles we've seen, as well as creating that haunting atmosphere? I finally woke up one morning and realized, "Wait a minute, it's about Daemon's relationship with Rhaenyra. It's about Daemon and where he just came from." This is not an isolated scene because, if it's just him arriving in Harrenhal, you can put it anywhere at any time. But what's important is that Daemon gave his heart to Rhaenyra. He married her when he's not a marrying kind of guy. He doesn't let anyone in, but he let her in.
Milly Alcock’s Appearance Reveals This Significant Truth About Daemon & Rhaenyra’s Relationship Daemon actually sees Rhaenyra in this episode, but it's Milly Alcock. Is the intentionality behind her appearance that this is when she looked up to him, rather than looked down on him? Aegon’s Dream Is About Rhaenyra & Alicent’s Egos More Than It Is About The Fate Of Westeros Rhaenyra and Alicent reuniting onscreen is a huge moment for the story. How did you and the actors approach a moment with so much weight behind it? How do you achieve the right balance of dormant affection and active fear?
Rhaenyra was there to ask, "Did my father love me? Did he lie to me?" And that's what that moment's about. That's where, in the scene, you'll see that's where Rhaenyra is most emotional. And that's where I think we did most of the work in that scene as a team. Geeta Vasant Patel: In my opinion, it is a means to an end. I think in this season, it's about characters' fate. The things that have happened before episode 3 have informed the trajectory from episode 3 to episode 8. It's not Aegon's dream that's motivating everyone. It's just accommodating their egos.
So, I sat down with the two young actors, and we talked about the fact that this is something they actually can feel very easily if they bring it home. I told each of them to think of the person they love the most and imagine if the other brutally killed that person. We took a minute and immediately rehearsed the scene, and how they acted in that scene is pretty much what you see at the opening of this episode.
What I bring to everything I do, particularly in genre, is try to just break it down to real life. And the way I do it is a lot of improvisation. People say, "I don't improvise," but I don't believe it. It's like when people say, "I don't dance." Everybody can dance, just like they can improvise, because it's just who you are. If they bring who they are to each line, each character, and each story, that's their best work.
This episode is the closest and longest look we've gotten at Baela and Moondancer and how they fly together. How much input did you have there?
