Regent. 999 01:12:17,797 --> 01:12:20,133 Break the blockade, and it will benefit you. 1000 01:12:20,216 --> 01:12:23,678 It seems you need us more than we need you. 1001 01:12:24,137 --> 01:12:27,014 There is a Lannister navy, there is a Hightower navy, 1002 01:12:27,140 --> 01:12:29,350 but they're on the other side of the blockade. 1003 01:12:29,475 --> 01:12:32,061 And so they end up going to bargain with the Triarchy 1004 01:12:32,395 --> 01:12:35,565 which Tyland is very not on board with, 1005 01:12:35,648 --> 01:12:36,899 but ends up having to do. 1006 01:12:37,024 --> 01:12:40,153 But it's a sign of how extreme their position is. 1007 01:12:40,361 --> 01:12:41,904 Ryan: This is where the seat of power sits. 1008 01:12:41,988 --> 01:12:45,158 And this is a very rich cartel of three different nations 1009 01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:48,077 that are in the shipping and piracy business. 1010 01:12:48,244 --> 01:12:49,704 And they hate Westeros. 1011 01:12:49,746 --> 01:12:52,206 And they want to seek a profit off of them. 1012 01:12:52,707 --> 01:12:54,417 He gets sent to pirate land 1013 01:12:55,001 --> 01:12:56,210 to treat with the pirates. 1014 01:12:56,252 --> 01:12:58,546 To see if he can get the Triarchy 1015 01:12:58,588 --> 01:13:00,423 to ally with the Greens. 1016 01:13:01,174 --> 01:13:02,091 Admiral Lohar. 1017 01:13:02,759 --> 01:13:05,386 Abigail Thorne: He needs to impress me before he can get what he wants. 1018 01:13:05,845 --> 01:13:08,056 I put him through absolute hell. 1019 01:13:08,097 --> 01:13:09,849 - (groaning) - (crowd cheers) 1020 01:13:09,891 --> 01:13:10,892 Singing was the worst. 1021 01:13:11,267 --> 01:13:13,269 I can handle mud wrestling, but singing is miserable. 1022 01:13:13,686 --> 01:13:15,605 But it worked because Tyland can't sing. 1023 01:13:15,897 --> 01:13:17,774 Ryan: She's a bonkers character 1024 01:13:17,899 --> 01:13:20,068 that feels like one of these very colorful characters 1025 01:13:20,109 --> 01:13:22,111 ripped right out of the pages of George's books. 1026 01:13:22,278 --> 01:13:24,113 The people there take her entirely seriously, 1027 01:13:24,197 --> 01:13:26,199 and we're sort of looking at her the way Tyland does, 1028 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,409 which is, "What's going on?" and "Is this real?" 1029 01:13:28,576 --> 01:13:32,413 Sara: One of our season highlights was bringing in Sharako Lohar. 1030 01:13:32,455 --> 01:13:34,207 And it can be a rough show. 1031 01:13:34,248 --> 01:13:37,126 It's grim, it's a war, a lot of people die. 1032 01:13:37,251 --> 01:13:41,089 So having that moment of levity and just sort of off-kilterness 1033 01:13:41,130 --> 01:13:42,757 was really important to us 1034 01:13:42,799 --> 01:13:45,635 and a really welcome little bit of fun. 1035 01:13:45,718 --> 01:13:47,929 - (crowd laughs) - A jest, my Lord. 1036 01:13:51,808 --> 01:13:53,434 Rhaenyra Targaryen: How goes the Seasnake? 1037 01:13:53,643 --> 01:13:55,061 I've given her a new name. 1038 01:13:55,603 --> 01:13:56,979 The Queen Who Never Was. 1039 01:13:57,271 --> 01:13:59,607 We really wanted to find a way for him to honor 1040 01:13:59,649 --> 01:14:01,401 and keep alive the memory of Rhaenys. 1041 01:14:01,442 --> 01:14:03,319 Because it shows the arc that he's been on 1042 01:14:03,444 --> 01:14:05,738 across the season where much of his life 1043 01:14:05,780 --> 01:14:07,156 was about him and his own glory. 1044 01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,283 I mean, he named his ship after himself. 1045 01:14:09,617 --> 01:14:11,994 Geeta Vasant Patel: Corlys always went out to sea, 1046 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,956 so Rhaenys never felt like his priority. 1047 01:14:15,081 --> 01:14:19,293 And when she died, it finally came to Corlys 1048 01:14:19,335 --> 01:14:21,254 that he always thought about himself. 1049 01:14:21,337 --> 01:14:23,965 And so he did the one thing he could do. 1050 01:14:24,006 --> 01:14:27,301 Take his namesake, his ship, and make it hers. 1051 01:14:28,010 --> 01:14:30,179 Sara: He's lost all the people he loves. 1052 01:14:30,346 --> 01:14:33,683 He's sort of come to this place of acceptance 1053 01:14:33,808 --> 01:14:37,019 and understanding that his great exploits 1054 01:14:37,145 --> 01:14:40,857 are less important than just having his family around him. 1055 01:14:41,190 --> 01:14:43,109 Do you know what hunger does to a boy? 1056 01:14:44,694 --> 01:14:45,695 What grief does? 1057 01:14:46,154 --> 01:14:49,365 Rhaenys always had the conversation with Corlys 1058 01:14:49,449 --> 01:14:50,533 about his heir. 1059 01:14:50,700 --> 01:14:54,370 And none of them really feel like they're the right person. 1060 01:14:54,495 --> 01:14:57,874 For the first time, Corlys considers Addam and Alyn. 1061 01:14:58,166 --> 01:15:00,877 Yes, they are bastards, but they are more qualified. 1062 01:15:01,210 --> 01:15:03,004 Steve Toussaint: One of the things that we talked about, 1063 01:15:03,046 --> 01:15:05,006 myself, Abu, and Geeta, 1064 01:15:05,131 --> 01:15:08,176 was that nobody speaks to Corlys that way. 1065 01:15:08,217 --> 01:15:09,510 Not if they've got any sense. 1066 01:15:09,844 --> 01:15:11,721 The only person who does is Rhaenys. 1067 01:15:12,055 --> 01:15:15,016 When it came to the tirade, this emotional speech, 1068 01:15:15,058 --> 01:15:16,726 it came down to the words 1069 01:15:16,851 --> 01:15:18,478 and playing off Steve and his reactions. 1070 01:15:18,561 --> 01:15:21,355 Alyn doesn't expect it coming out of him. 1071 01:15:21,522 --> 01:15:23,232 I wasn't expecting it coming out of me either. 1072 01:15:23,357 --> 01:15:25,026 Like, it was one of those moments 1073 01:15:25,068 --> 01:15:27,737 where I generally felt like I could really let go. 1074 01:15:28,029 --> 01:15:29,906 I am trying to help you. 1075 01:15:30,198 --> 01:15:32,366 Now you remember I live. 1076 01:15:33,409 --> 01:15:35,244 Steve: He watched me with my other son, 1077 01:15:35,369 --> 01:15:37,914 picking up wonderful gifts and walking into the castle. 1078 01:15:38,039 --> 01:15:40,249 And he, who knew I was his father, 1079 01:15:40,583 --> 01:15:41,876 had to grow up in poverty. 1080 01:15:42,001 --> 01:15:43,711 For me then to come into his life and sort of go, 1081 01:15:43,753 --> 01:15:44,837 "I'm trying to help you," 1082 01:15:44,921 --> 01:15:46,214 well, of course, he's gonna be resentful. 1083 01:15:46,422 --> 01:15:48,591 You understand the hurt and everything that he's carried 1084 01:15:48,716 --> 01:15:49,884 for all of these years. 1085 01:15:50,218 --> 01:15:52,053 You see the way it lands on the Seasnake. 1086 01:15:52,220 --> 01:15:54,013 And I think he knows that he hasn't been 1087 01:15:54,389 --> 01:15:55,765 the patriarchal figure that he needed to be 1088 01:15:55,890 --> 01:15:56,766 to these guys, 1089 01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:58,768 but I don't think he realizes until this moment 1090 01:15:58,851 --> 01:16:01,562 the cost that it had on this human being. 1091 01:16:01,771 --> 01:16:03,398 If it is all the same, 1092 01:16:03,898 --> 01:16:07,944 I will decline any offers of help. 1093 01:16:12,532 --> 01:16:14,951 (Vhagar growls, bellows) 1094 01:16:15,076 --> 01:16:16,244 Ryan: Aemond lashes out. 1095 01:16:16,285 --> 01:16:18,955 It's also a strategic act because Sharp Point 1096 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:20,248 is the seat of House Massey 1097 01:16:20,289 --> 01:16:21,582 who serves on Rhaenyra's council. 1098 01:16:21,707 --> 01:16:24,711 It's a punishment to them for siding with the pretender. 1099 01:16:24,961 --> 01:16:26,462 Aemond is showing that he's not running. 1100 01:16:26,587 --> 01:16:29,465 He's burning cities filled with innocent people instead. 1101 01:16:30,258 --> 01:16:32,969 Sara: Aemond is now, for the first time this season, 1102 01:16:33,094 --> 01:16:34,137 I think, scared. 1103 01:16:34,470 --> 01:16:37,807 From the time in season one when he got Vhagar as a boy, 1104 01:16:37,890 --> 01:16:39,559 that's changed his entire outlook. 1105 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,228 And now that he's been challenged by these new dragons, 1106 01:16:42,270 --> 01:16:43,438 it's the first time that, like, 1107 01:16:43,563 --> 01:16:45,648 "Oh, no, I don't have the upper hand 1108 01:16:45,732 --> 01:16:47,650 in any situation I go into." 1109 01:16:47,984 --> 01:16:49,152 Geeta: The stakes are so high 1110 01:16:49,318 --> 01:16:52,155 that if he doesn't get another rider, 1111 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,741 he will have no chance against the Blacks. 1112 01:16:54,949 --> 01:16:59,162 And they will lose the throne is Aegon continues to be king. 1113 01:16:59,495 --> 01:17:01,956 In his mind, he's doing what's right 1114 01:17:01,998 --> 01:17:02,999 for his house. 1115 01:17:03,124 --> 01:17:04,250 Why must I run? 1116 01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,461 Because the Prince Regent is going to kill you. 1117 01:17:06,836 --> 01:17:10,256 I think from Larys' experience, those who look through you, 1118 01:17:10,298 --> 01:17:11,591 they never see you coming. 1119 01:17:11,674 --> 01:17:13,968 That's what he's trying to say to Aegon is, 1120 01:17:14,010 --> 01:17:16,512 as long as Aegon is not a threat, 1121 01:17:16,679 --> 01:17:18,181 he's relatively safe. 1122 01:17:18,473 --> 01:17:20,850 Tom Glynn-Carney: Larys sees the light at the end of the tunnel. 1123 01:17:21,017 --> 01:17:22,810 Or at least he's made Aegon think he knows 1124 01:17:22,852 --> 01:17:24,020 what that could be. 1125 01:17:24,145 --> 01:17:26,939 After his encounter with Aemond in episode six, 1126 01:17:27,023 --> 01:17:28,816 Aegon knows that Larys is correct. 1127 01:17:29,192 --> 01:17:31,152 In that moment, Aemond gets desperate 1128 01:17:31,194 --> 01:17:32,779 with the newfound potential threat. 1129 01:17:32,820 --> 01:17:36,157 And he overextends and gets forceful with Helaena. 1130 01:17:36,532 --> 01:17:40,161 Phia Saban: I think it's desperation that reeks off him in that scene 1131 01:17:40,203 --> 01:17:42,538 when Alicent and Helaena are both like, 1132 01:17:42,622 --> 01:17:44,332 "Bro, calm down. 1133 01:17:44,457 --> 01:17:48,211 This is not how somebody who feels really sure about 1134 01:17:48,294 --> 01:17:49,837 what they're doing behaves." 1135 01:17:50,338 --> 01:17:53,383 Ewan Mitchell: Helaena admits she saw how I burned Aegon 1136 01:17:53,549 --> 01:17:57,220 and it's hard-hitting for Aemond to hear he's gonna go down. 1137 01:17:57,387 --> 01:18:00,139 He kind of envisioned after the war had finished 1138 01:18:00,223 --> 01:18:01,891 he'd be seen as this war hero. 1139 01:18:02,183 --> 01:18:04,560 But Helaena's prophecy puts a stop to that. 1140 01:18:04,894 --> 01:18:07,855 Helaena's probably put herself in more danger with Aemond 1141 01:18:07,897 --> 01:18:09,232 than she ever has been before. 1142 01:18:09,690 --> 01:18:11,484 - Would you not have us prevail? - Not like this. 1143 01:18:11,901 --> 01:18:14,362 Sara: Aemond is gonna be an interesting loose cannon 1144 01:18:14,404 --> 01:18:17,532 in season three because when Aemond is scared, 1145 01:18:17,573 --> 01:18:20,243 laughed at, or feels small, he lashes out. 1146 01:18:20,576 --> 01:18:22,912 You're either with him or you're against him. 1147 01:18:23,079 --> 01:18:24,831 You get in his way, you're in for a show. 1148 01:18:29,585 --> 01:18:32,839 Alys Rivers: All your life, you've sought to command your own fate. 1149 01:18:34,257 --> 01:18:35,883 But today, you are ready. 1150 01:18:36,676 --> 01:18:38,177 Ryan: There are different magics 1151 01:18:38,219 --> 01:18:41,055 and worlds in play here in George's universe, 1152 01:18:41,180 --> 01:18:43,433 and Alys has been a bit of a guide for Daemon 1153 01:18:43,558 --> 01:18:46,352 and has made him ready for this thing 1154 01:18:46,394 --> 01:18:48,438 that Alys is going to show him that he was not ready for 1155 01:18:48,563 --> 01:18:50,690 in episode three when he showed up at the castle. 1156 01:18:51,232 --> 01:18:54,110 He's evolved in some way, and he's ready 1157 01:18:54,736 --> 01:18:57,780 to see the future. 1158 01:18:58,448 --> 01:19:00,700 Ryan: We wanted Daemon to have this final experience 1159 01:19:00,742 --> 01:19:01,743 that was undeniable to him. 1160 01:19:01,826 --> 01:19:03,703 He's somebody that has rejected the supernatural 1161 01:19:03,745 --> 01:19:04,579 his entire life. 1162 01:19:04,912 --> 01:19:07,749 Sara: We definitely wanted to tie what Daemon sees 1163 01:19:07,790 --> 01:19:10,293 to Game of Thrones because where it picks up, 1164 01:19:10,376 --> 01:19:13,129 it's Daenerys Targaryen finding those eggs. 1165 01:19:13,254 --> 01:19:16,299 She is a descendent of Daemon and Rhaenyra 1166 01:19:16,424 --> 01:19:18,468 and so what he ends up seeing is that 1167 01:19:18,551 --> 01:19:21,220 he's just this tiny piece of this massive story 1168 01:19:21,262 --> 01:19:22,930 and once you start to see that, 1169 01:19:23,264 --> 01:19:25,433 you gain an entirely different perspective. 1170 01:19:25,933 --> 01:19:30,813 This vision brings Daemon into the story of Fire and Ice 1171 01:19:30,938 --> 01:19:32,774 and takes him to his death. 1172 01:19:32,982 --> 01:19:35,610 And after his death, it shows him 1173 01:19:35,651 --> 01:19:38,780 that if he continues to only think of himself, 1174 01:19:38,821 --> 01:19:40,573 great loss will be had. 1175 01:19:40,948 --> 01:19:42,784 And then he sees a hope. 1176 01:19:42,909 --> 01:19:45,745 We know it's Daenerys, but he doesn't know who it is. 1177 01:19:46,287 --> 01:19:48,164 And he sees a White Walker, which is cool. 1178 01:19:48,289 --> 01:19:49,499 I was like, "Come on, that's cool." 1179 01:19:49,665 --> 01:19:50,833 Ryan: Even though Rhaenyra and Daemon 1180 01:19:51,084 --> 01:19:53,795 are not going to save the realm from the White Walkers, 1181 01:19:53,836 --> 01:19:56,005 their actions do have an impact 1182 01:19:56,130 --> 01:19:58,299 on how that future is going to play out. 1183 01:19:59,509 --> 01:20:02,178 You know your path. (echoing) 1184 01:20:03,012 --> 01:20:04,138 Ryan: To evolve from the character 1185 01:20:04,305 --> 01:20:06,015 that stormed out of Dragonstone in episode two, 1186 01:20:06,099 --> 01:20:08,518 we had to see Daemon go through all of his... (chuckles) 1187 01:20:08,935 --> 01:20:09,977 ...trials and tribulations. 1188 01:20:10,144 --> 01:20:12,688 And Rhaenyra, not knowing what Daemon is going to do. 1189 01:20:12,814 --> 01:20:14,440 And then you believe he is changed, 1190 01:20:14,482 --> 01:20:16,359 and he sees that he is not the player, 1191 01:20:16,484 --> 01:20:18,486 but a piece on the board, as Alys tells him. 1192 01:20:18,653 --> 01:20:20,822 Matt Smith: He sees Rhaenyra on the throne, 1193 01:20:20,863 --> 01:20:24,367 and I think it gives him the confidence in himself to go, 1194 01:20:24,492 --> 01:20:25,952 "I serve you and I'm yours." 1195 01:20:26,327 --> 01:20:28,371 Sara: And it's not that everything's been resolved, 1196 01:20:28,496 --> 01:20:31,874 but Daemon realizes that his job is to facilitate 1197 01:20:31,958 --> 01:20:34,377 Rhaenyra getting to the throne, and that he... 1198 01:20:34,961 --> 01:20:39,841 understands now that Viserys wasn't trying to punish him. 1199 01:20:39,966 --> 01:20:42,969 And so he's able to let go of his anger at Rhaenyra. 1200 01:20:43,052 --> 01:20:44,387 To sort of let everything go and, 1201 01:20:44,512 --> 01:20:46,681 "Let's go do this together. I'm on your team." 1202 01:20:46,806 --> 01:20:48,641 She wasn't sure throughout the entire season 1203 01:20:48,683 --> 01:20:51,185 if he was going to try to set himself up as king, 1204 01:20:51,227 --> 01:20:52,395 and it's this moment of validation 1205 01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:53,396 that she gets from him 1206 01:20:53,563 --> 01:20:55,189 that I think is incredibly meaningful. 1207 01:20:55,481 --> 01:20:57,692 We fight for our Queen! 1208 01:20:57,734 --> 01:21:00,903 (soldiers cheer) 1209 01:21:03,865 --> 01:21:07,410 Rhaenyra: Will you see it through and make your sacrifice? 1210 01:21:08,077 --> 01:21:09,412 A son for a son? 1211 01:21:11,330 --> 01:21:13,249 You've seen the massive ways that things have changed 1212 01:21:13,374 --> 01:21:15,084 between meeting number one and meeting number two. 1213 01:21:15,209 --> 01:21:17,920 And I think both of them have been through further trauma, 1214 01:21:18,212 --> 01:21:20,506 and it's brought them back around to a place 1215 01:21:20,548 --> 01:21:22,050 where they're wondering what the cost 1216 01:21:22,175 --> 01:21:23,259 of all this is for. 1217 01:21:23,718 --> 01:21:26,262 It's massive that Alicent travels to Rhaenyra. 1218 01:21:26,387 --> 01:21:27,555 It's treason. 1219 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,099 If Aemond found out, head on a spike. 1220 01:21:30,224 --> 01:21:32,060 But it's also to look Rhaenyra in the eye 1221 01:21:32,435 --> 01:21:34,395 as my, like, rawest self. 1222 01:21:34,437 --> 01:21:37,065 "This is me shedding whatever power 1223 01:21:37,106 --> 01:21:38,858 or Queenly status I had. 1224 01:21:38,941 --> 01:21:40,026 I was wrong. Take it. 1225 01:21:40,068 --> 01:21:42,111 I don't want anything to do with it. I'm done." 1226 01:21:42,570 --> 01:21:45,239 She's had this journey of self-actualization, 1227 01:21:45,281 --> 01:21:46,783 and she's got a lot of power within her. 1228 01:21:46,908 --> 01:21:50,286 And I think she feels much more capable. 1229 01:21:50,745 --> 01:21:53,581 It's funny to be offered a huge gift 1230 01:21:53,790 --> 01:21:56,292 at the point where you think you already have what you need. 1231 01:21:56,793 --> 01:21:59,420 Sara: The climax of that scene is Rhaenyra, 1232 01:21:59,462 --> 01:22:00,963 "I'm going to have to kill your son," 1233 01:22:01,089 --> 01:22:02,757 and Alicent acceding to it. 1234 01:22:02,799 --> 01:22:05,385 Which is huge for Rhaenyra because that is not something 1235 01:22:05,468 --> 01:22:07,595 that Alicent would ever have done before. 1236 01:22:07,637 --> 01:22:10,098 So I think that causes her to really believe 1237 01:22:10,139 --> 01:22:11,432 what Alicent is saying. 1238 01:22:11,641 --> 01:22:13,768 Rhaenyra has these new dragon riders, 1239 01:22:13,976 --> 01:22:17,063 she's just gotten Daemon back, she has this big army. 1240 01:22:17,146 --> 01:22:18,314 If she wanted to, 1241 01:22:18,398 --> 01:22:20,983 she could probably win this war herself. 1242 01:22:21,484 --> 01:22:24,237 But at the cost of thousands and thousands of lives. 1243 01:22:24,487 --> 01:22:27,156 And then she's sort of given this backdoor by Alicent. 1244 01:22:27,281 --> 01:22:28,991 And so I think we leave season two 1245 01:22:29,075 --> 01:22:33,746 with Rhaenyra in this place of, "What am I going to do?" 1246 01:22:34,789 --> 01:22:36,165 Ryan: It's such a beautiful scene, 1247 01:22:36,290 --> 01:22:37,667 and so wonderfully written by Sara, 1248 01:22:37,834 --> 01:22:39,627 wonderfully performed by Emma and Olivia, 1249 01:22:39,752 --> 01:22:41,504 and Geeta beautifully directed it. 1250 01:22:41,629 --> 01:22:43,589 And the way it launches us into the third season 1251 01:22:43,673 --> 01:22:45,341 and the unknown of what's to come, 1252 01:22:45,466 --> 01:22:46,759 it's a tour de force. 1253 01:22:47,343 --> 01:22:49,762 ♪ (delicate piano music plays) 1254 01:22:49,846 --> 01:22:52,306 Sara: There's so much in play, there are armies, 1255 01:22:52,348 --> 01:22:55,476 there are dragons, there's castle strongholds 1256 01:22:55,601 --> 01:22:58,604 and political maneuvering, but at the end of the day, 1257 01:22:58,646 --> 01:23:01,607 it comes down to these two women trying to figure it out. 1258 01:23:02,108 --> 01:23:03,860 Ryan: The Lannisters are arriving in the Riverlands. 1259 01:23:03,985 --> 01:23:05,862 The Hightowers are marching through the Reach. 1260 01:23:05,987 --> 01:23:07,989 The Winter Wolves are coming from the North. 1261 01:23:08,114 --> 01:23:09,532 The Triarchy's sailing. 1262 01:23:09,657 --> 01:23:11,784 We see the Seasnake going back out to sea. 1263 01:23:11,951 --> 01:23:13,661 Daemon has his army in the Riverlands. 1264 01:23:13,870 --> 01:23:15,788 Alicent's fourth son on his dragon. 1265 01:23:15,872 --> 01:23:18,040 The Blue Queen is now flying in support 1266 01:23:18,166 --> 01:23:20,293 of this massive Hightower army. 1267 01:23:20,376 --> 01:23:22,170 We find Otto in this cell somewhere, 1268 01:23:22,211 --> 01:23:23,463 and we don't know quite where he is 1269 01:23:23,504 --> 01:23:25,006 or what happened to him. 1270 01:23:25,298 --> 01:23:27,341 Geeta: Rhaena discovers a dragon. 1271 01:23:27,383 --> 01:23:29,969 And we see a forest outside of King's Landing. 1272 01:23:30,011 --> 01:23:31,387 And there is Aegon. 1273 01:23:31,554 --> 01:23:33,639 Larys and Aegon basically escape King's Landing 1274 01:23:33,681 --> 01:23:35,224 as shit's about to hit the fan. 1275 01:23:35,808 --> 01:23:38,561 It's just a reminder of things have been put in motion 1276 01:23:38,644 --> 01:23:40,063 which they can't pull back. 1277 01:23:40,188 --> 01:23:43,232 And similar to Daemon's vision, where you're seeing the things 1278 01:23:43,316 --> 01:23:45,026 that are all going to come to play a part 1279 01:23:45,068 --> 01:23:46,069 in the whole story. 1280 01:23:46,569 --> 01:23:49,197 While this season was very much about the fits and starts 1281 01:23:49,238 --> 01:23:50,573 of an early medieval war, 1282 01:23:50,656 --> 01:23:53,367 season three is clearly going to be about total war. 1283 01:23:53,910 --> 01:23:56,245 I think Team Black are in ascendancy. 1284 01:23:56,370 --> 01:23:58,247 A desperate Aemond is a dangerous Aemond. 1285 01:23:58,331 --> 01:23:59,916 I will never, ever concede. 1286 01:23:59,999 --> 01:24:02,418 The whole thing is just so volatile. 1287 01:24:02,710 --> 01:24:04,087 Baela's gonna do whatever it takes, 1288 01:24:04,212 --> 01:24:06,214 whatever it comes down to, she's prepared to do. 1289 01:24:06,589 --> 01:24:07,840 Emma D'Arcy: She has the better hand 1290 01:24:07,924 --> 01:24:11,386 and an inevitably positive shot at the throne. 1291 01:24:11,677 --> 01:24:13,721 Tom: The pendulum could swing either way very quickly. 1292 01:24:14,013 --> 01:24:16,557 We shall see who the last man standing is. 1293 01:24:16,599 --> 01:24:18,768 ♪
