‘House of the Dragon’ Cast on Dragon Riding, Family Conflict, and the ‘Game of Thrones’ Legacy

[@SarathKumar-bp2go]

Paddy and Matt just oozes sibling energy. They already address themselves as the characters

[@DR.DisInfect]

Then pull a true GoT and let's see them siblings ✂️ 🫂

[@AlerieHightower]

Everyone is talking about how great Matt Smith is, and I'm sure that's true, but Paddy is absolutely adorable!

[@johnjungkook2721]

​@@AlerieHightower Matt does deserve a lot of credit, though. He's a scene-stealer

[@RageDan_]

@@DR.DisInfect this would be more accurate ⚔. 🤣

[@christoperangeles7254]

I was gonna comment this. They talked as if they are their roles.

[@anna.b_phl]

When Paddy said that the biggest conflict of Viserys was that he never should've been named the next king, I almost cried. That was so sad, and looking back at season 1 when Viserys was still alive, you can somehow feel that. Viserys did his best, but with Paddy's answer, it all made sense why Viserys did everything he did as king. 😥

[@Helloits1525]

i think with seeing how Rhaenyra was treated really hit home that his sister should've been the rightful Queen 😢

[@kauanfranca2922]

The way Steve and Eve talk to each other makes it seems like they've been married for years. Great chemistry!

[@Angela-il1cl]

Yess hahah and look how close they sit and let's not forget that hands holding at the premiere.... I'm not saying they are together or anything (it's their business anyways) but they seem very close and it's so cuute 😍

[@Weeby_historian]

@@Angela-il1cl I think their both married no?

[@Angela-il1cl]

[@blackeyedlily]

These were great interviews. Often times these Hollywood cast type interviews are very superficial, but I really liked how the interviewer delved into the backstory and the characters a bit more than is typical. And I was also very impressed with the answers the cast gave. Quite a number of them felt like they really understand the story quite well. Even Graham McTavish at the end felt like he really knew quite a bit about the two kings he served under and his role as Lord Commander of the King’s Guard. I think it bodes well for the show.

[@pinkys3088]

She really knows the universe that is why she knows what to ask. Some interviewers just research their names and the roles they play and ask the most generic questions because they have no idea about the show they’re talking about

[@suumcuique4530]

I was surprised her looks completely fooled me. Very pleasant.

[@phoenixfox2697]

The interviewer did a great job because she educated herself, if she wasn’t a fan already, and asked questions that we as fans would have. Kudos to her and well done.

[@mildlyfrostedbegels]

Exactly, I really appreciate McTarvish's knowledge. His type of character can be very bland. But, the actor's understanding of the events in the story means that he can act in a way that wouldn't be available to him otherwise. If that makes any sense

[@melancholyandinfiniteradness]

I love how Olivia watches Emma when Emma is talking. Like, she’s just enamored with her. I also like Emma’s description of them really wanting reunification at the heart of it, but being too stubborn to say it. I think a lot of us have been there.

[@QueerNoob]

[@giuf175]

This is an actual good interview with good questions, it's a miracle. I really like the chemistry between all the actors that I've seen so far, they look like they're having a good time.

[@DarkSnake49542]

Hopefully it will stay the same! Season 2 in 2024 no? (with so much time, their chemistry might not be there again) (plus those are interviews and actors can play a role for the press too, if they don't enjoy that part of their job - most of the time, the one doing it just got a preview 2 days before and questions written for them so unlike that video it often feels dull to watch and surely the same for actors who have to answer boring questions as it's their job too)

[@JLchevz]

I love how they talk about High Valyrian and dragon anatomy and training and every little detail like it's the real world lol, that means they take it seriously, I love it

[@februaryschild0216]

[@zugunz5805]

Strve Toussaint and Eve Best are such a delight. I think they have the most charisma out of all the character pairings in this interview. Theyre so cute and funny. I love them.

[@jamesrobson4894]

I’ve seen other people say this too but she was an excellent interviewer! Asked really thought provoking and intriguing questions, you could tell some of the cast were thrown off guard by them! Very rare to see and sure beats the usual ‘hOw dOeS iT fEeL tO bE iN tHe WoRlD oF gAmE oF tHrOnEs?’ 😂

[@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195]

[@lachicafun]

Yep. I’m so glad they’re coming back on Sunday.

[@FazartOrganization]

Rhaenyra and Visery's have a very "daddy's little girl" relationship, you've all (Paddy, Emma, Millie) pulled off seeing that on screen very well. The just absolute love between them is undeniable, even before he saw so much of his wife in her - which only then strengthened that unbreakable bond. I think that time they spent apart really destroyed both of them and their subsequent personality shifts and then reunion show that beautifully. 10:11

[@Ashley_e]

The dynamic of Matt and oddly is so great …. Wonderful questions to them. Graham is giving the greatest answers!

[@fildyb]

It's nice to see Paddy saying his character should never have been king, watching Viserys on screen it's obvious he makes for a terrible monarch and he's too swept away by his own emotions to get out of his head and think outside of it, and it's nice to see how intentional and in sync the actor is with the character.

[@margaritaperla]

One thing I think we can gather from a few of these interviews: Otto Hightower is going to be playing a role similar to Littlefinger...a master manipulator.

@23:05 when Milly Alcock is talking about saying "dracarys" and how sad it is to say at that moment, and how she "doesn't want to say it", my theory is that she says it during the funeral of her late mother, Aemma Arryn (King Visery's first wife), whose corpse is burned to ashes (as in Targaryen tradition) but in this case by dragon fire.

Getting someone who KNOWS and LOVES the books and the author, like Ryan Condal to run and write the show 2. Have completed source material 3. Have an actively involved author who is happy with a show on his works for the first time since GOT season 4 ...you start to see how thinking this will end badly is in fact the more idiotic thing to do.
