I
Think it's an inevitability from about halfway through the season that John and Daenerys are gonna fall into bed together
And for us as actors. It's just weird the reality of
And what they are to each other, I don't know how that's gonna. I mean, I think kind of
Might be the reaction. I like looking here and going oh, God. I'm sorry. Let's go cat. I think they both know it's wrong
I think they both know it's gonna cause problems
But it's that thing when you suddenly feel that deeply about someone and you go through those events together
It's like a runaway train. You can't stop it happening
father
Smith Warrior
To see that actually these were two people in love and that this whole thing that started off
The series game of thrones Robert's Rebellion. It was a total lie. He's kind of like
mad and
What's Gonna be interesting is for bran?
It's like what am I gonna do with this cuz just as everything was coming together everyone was gonna join together to fight
Inevitably game of thrones will tear us apart
It's dangerous for everybody involved. I'm sure it's good for both of them in the moment
But you don't even get the relief of how beautiful it could be or should be it's no
It's just it's not good
But it should be but it's not
It's game of thrones. It's a long history of romance not ending well on this show
On the stage today, and I'd mean that literally we have daenerys we have sayers. We have jon
Snow we have tyrion to name
But a few all very much on the edge of something disastrous happening. The mood is somber
It's you know world's leaders uniting and disagreeing about how the world should be run
it can go south very quickly and that's
Brilliant part of that the sequence because you know how quickly things can turn on this show. That's a potential powder keg
So no matter what's happening? No matter who's meeting who the potential for things to completely explode is always there the
Dragon pit is probably one of the most essential
C's sequences in all game of Thrones Tyrion and his posse
They know they're entering a dangerous place, and you know they're taking a risk coming here
You have 60 plus hours at this point of main characters? Who you are really?
Invested in and it's enjoyable to put people together who haven't been together before and see how they would react he should have its people
becoming aware of their the smallness
I think in their nature no matter how much they fight each other. There's a bigger threat to life than just who's on the throne
You can say to anyone you know this disease is coming
Until you can show them
Evidence they won't get past their own
Smaller problems to fight the big problem these things build over time in that
50 70 hours to get to this point
It takes 70 hours for for the story to allow this scene to happen. There's a momentum
That's up now which doesn't stop so it's that's really exciting
It's incredible because I am the new kid on the block, and I've seen these guys for six seasons now
Then all of a sudden being part of their scene, I think this is Gonna be one of the scenes of this season
The dragonpit epitomizes the Central challenge of season seven where we have a dozen
Four principal characters all in the same place many of whom haven't seen each other since a very dramatic incident years before between them
So that scene was incredibly tricky to write an incredibly tribute a film if you want to be able to
service all of these characters
And that was tremendously fun to plot out conflicts between people friendships between people which ones you wanted to highlight
Which ones that you're Gonna have to let fall by the wayside we have
You know dozens of seems like dozens of little mini scenes, so we had to find
great moments and character interactions
And story for all of these characters was just so much fun to write for all these guys
Together it kind of forced us to really explore what the different tonal variations were in those reunions
You know it's trying to keep an eye on what they're all there for I mean
they're all there for a reason which is to discuss the
Possibility of an alliance and whether that's even possible with these people who have so many reasons for hating each other and so a few
reasons for trusting each other
Welcome my lord
For poured the seat elian. I mean that guy was the most important person in the world to him
He was the only person who'd give him a chance. I'm glad you're alive
There's something very sweet in it and amongst all the big stuff the small stuff still happens as well
And that's what adds the texture of the show. I think that stuff's never forgotten about what's in there
Fuck off
There's a really wonderful moment where brienne
spies the hound and
she realizes that she has to sort of
Apologize
maybe
Maybe for nearly killing him maybe but she also brings to him then youth that
She knows he wants to hear that arya is alive and is home. Oh, that was a relief
Yeah, of course and a concern is she all right just protecting earth. You're here
Anyone that needs protecting is the one that gets an old wave
And then it turns out that we don't need to worry about arya
Because I have taught her everything
What I love about tyrion and Bronze relationship is they know exactly who they are
Tyrion prods them a little bit how much bran is doing things that have self-interested don't you worry about me? I'm doing all right
Looking after myself. Are you helping me to arrange this meeting wasn't exactly looking after yourself was it it's your head, Queen Cersei
He's offered a bag of gold for us not mine
knocks on his tin heart a little bit
Knows there's something in there
It's good to see you again
There you too
If you have Cersei cink tyrion for the first time in a long time her mortal enemy
So the first time they lock eyes when she walks in that's a moment
It's really awkward. It's like the movie
I know family reunions for everyone are very awkward, but let's just say the lannisters
are a complicated bunch she's held him responsible for the death of her mother and
The death of Joffrey and her father you know she can't really take responsibility
We'll deal with her own grief
She has to just blame everybody else, and that's part of her pain too Lina gives me a look that
I never want to see ever again. It's yeah
It very might almost flattened me I?
wanted to hide
Me my brother
How is good I had a standoff with him which was great fun. That was great
ignoring it a very serious situation
Behind just go straight to him goes basically you and me Pal. We haven't finished
You're getting there. There's a nonverbal four or five second thing between Cersei Jaime and Brienne
That's not even a line of dialogue. It's just a little mini
Scene of built out of looks. It's sort of like one of the worst things that happens to you at school. I
think it's Brienne's idea of
absolute abject hell
Fighting the hound was an abject hell, but a moment of having to deal with Jaime and Cersei is
The most excruciating thing that could possibly happen to Brienne
She arrives with the mountain and Jaime and then let you say the the King's gone
And she's you know pretty fierce and then she realizes that
Danny isn't here and that pisses her off obviously and
Of course Danny arrives on dragon. You know I take fashion. Be late - Brand-new eyes
She's very theatrical with her entrance though
It's kind of funny that go wow she really has to show off
her power, but fair enough
And she tries desperately to not be impressed by that arrival when everyone else obviously as you were just standing up
in all of this and then you know in walks this young beauty of a queen and she's
immediately
Beyond frustrated on many levels
We've been here for some time
My apologies, and then all she gets from Danny is
Apologies you know and that then drives her in the scene, and she can't bear it
We have something to show you
For me being a hornet
I was slightly giggling though
But my very young zombie she has never ever seen
Anything like this before and this is a creature that defies her. This is a creature. She doesn't know how to
Disable she doesn't know how to kill this is something else Daenerys has seen it and she's aware of it in its frightening
But she is just watching cersei like she just needs to know that this has affected her
you know she's always had that notion of creatures like this that they don't exist and it's nonsense and
So I think when he's there she's she's back as a kid just
The you know realizing everything her her grandma her nannies told her was real. She's staring into
a face that she never thought existed
For Jamie, this is like
Definite proof that they have there is no choice
Clearly this thing we have to deal with us in and then he believes them all he believes his brother, but he also believes
Daenerys and Jon snow, and when they say that they saw
100,000 of these beings
That's where his headless
You know the world could end in five minutes, but he is absolutely
One point you'd focused on I have never seen this before
This is amazing. I could really do this you know
There's this beat in the scene that I really love because I have a line
Waked where he's like he just seemed the white walker
Just died and you realizes
just the first thing he's ever seen that terrifies him and
That's like a new emotion for him. You know oh
I was I was that was an interesting feeling
I'm going back to my island. You should go back to yours
When winters over we'll be the only ones left alive
And it all rests her dragons death everything everything rests on Jon. Snow just lying
the crown accepts your truce
In return the king in the North will extend this truce
He will remain in the north where he belongs he will not take up arms against the lannisters he will not choose sides
They kill a plan of action
And then it all kind of falls apart with Jon's honor again
If I come on dude like it's all you got to do just this one time just tell a fib and he can't
He just can't like that was the bad move that was a bad choice, but thanks so much
I am true to my word
Or I try to be that
Is why I cannot give you what you ask I?
cannot serve two Queens
Tyrion knowing his sisters so well
Knows that that's not Gonna. Go over well
and of course it doesn't and
when jon does that the whole thing crumbles, so it's sort of like I get it but
Then there is nothing left to discuss
It is so much fun
With all of us all together having been isolated for so long and then suddenly boom. I'm working with everybody
Was quite kind of event for me it was I loved it. It's lovely
It's all of us being together so we all kind of fit. Oh
That was really exciting because we are all just a big happy family and that extended to after work unfortunately because we had way
too much fun
You know usually a like like you said and then you have one or two other actors to hang out with suddenly were like
15 10 15 at the same hotel. It was just a recipe for disaster, but it was fun though
Having been so invested in the show for so long for so many years
It's just so thrilling and I was personally very excited to finally meet Daenerys
and I hope for the fans that they see a
satisfying
Realization of what I think they will be maybe waiting for these for these worlds to be
Collided those 10 days were 10 of the most enjoyable days
I've ever spent doing this show because it's all these people it's having such an
Excellent time just being in each other's company. I will never forget those days and on that set they were outstanding
