  • Kudos to whoever had the idea of uploading the BTS long videos on YouTube. Everyone should see and appreciate the tremendous effort that goes into producing this show. I’m frequently amazed by the physical props and effects shown in these BTS videos, which I initially thought were CGI when watching the episodes.
  • @Tallacus
    Give props to the horse actors for pretending there was a dragon chasing them, even remaining silent in the forest afterwards, clever boys
  • @kevineusebio
    House of the Dragon sets and costumes are insane for scenes lasting only a few minutes. Some can only dream of having this kind of love and care for their shows. The fact that this only cost HBO about the same per episode as some SFX-heavy Disney+ series is a head scratcher. The difference in production value is night and day.

    Daemon going lookin for a fight and not gettin it(at least not yet? 🤔)is brilliant. His disappointment was expressed throughout, sitting at dinner lol
  • @Lamppostout
    Daemon suited in full armor making his way through the rainy ruins of Harrenhall looked like live action Elden Ring gameplay. Just stunning.
  • @maggyfrog
    the rain gave corlys an extra grit to his character because it showed us that he was more hands-on than most other lords in terms of their actual day-to-day activities
  • The Harennhall scenes are the highlights of the episode for me. It was truly haunting, chilling and beautiful. Along with the layers that it brought to Daemon, it was also a joy to see Milly once again 😍
  • The secret meeting between Rhaenyra and Alicent inside the Great Sept reminded me of the fictional meeting between Queens Elizabeth and Mary in Mary Queen of Scots (2018). Historians agree that Elizabeth and Mary have never met in person, but the film made it convincing how it could have happened secretly and not been recorded in history. Much props to Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke for their performances in portraying the tragedy of Rhaenyra and Alicent's past friendship.
  • @magicdee
    easily some of the best dragon riding acting from Bethany Antonia we've seen in the universe so far.
  • @annie-sc
    Loved the Baela scene, gave me the chills
  • Had me on the edge of the couch the entire time. The suspense
  • @dietsoba
    These behind the scenes videos after each week's episode really make the experience of watching the show even more enjoyable. Seeing how much work and care goes into every single detail really makes one appreciate each detail in the final result, especially because we're getting to see the vision behind each episode specifically. It's kind of amazing how well they're doing at keeping out spoilers.
  • It's so damn refreshing to see how much the entire cast and crew cares and how much work goes into it all.
  • @ZKBruhman
    this BTS was such a rich idea, can't believe they didn't do this before... Felt a lot more connected to the episode!
  • @AUMOTmusic
    Loved the scene of Rhaenys and Corlys in the rain, favorite bit of the episode for me. Just love those two

    Aegon's armour looks so great, and I like it on Tom! Our short king
