Transcript
00:00Congratulations on season two. I gotta say give us your best pitch. Why should
00:04everyone be team green over team black? I mean we team green have the most fun. I
00:08mean we do have the most fun and we're unpredictable and chaotic and and you
00:16know we we have more dragons I think. I think we have more dragons. I did hear
00:26that I did hear that so maybe maybe maybe don't quote me. I know a big part of
00:30your storyline included Viserys last season so what was it like doing this
00:34season without Paddy? It was strange man you know Paddy is such a big presence and
00:38such a formidable actor and he really brought this gravitas to the Red Keep
00:43and we sort of missed his walking onto set doing his like Alan Partridge
00:48impression and using his cane as like a baton and twirling it around it was yeah
00:52he was greatly greatly missed. And what was it like exploring Alicent this
00:57season and what storyline or part about her character were you most excited to
01:01explore? I think what I was really excited to explore was like who is she if
01:05not for the the throne and trying to anoint her son and once that is done
01:10what is her purpose and as the power shifts and Rhaenyra starts to gain more
01:15power it starts to ebb with Alicent there's always this like you know there's
01:20some invisible umbilical cord holding them together and I think Alicent finds it
01:25really liberating. And finally I wanted to ask I know you and Emma had mentioned
01:31previously that you didn't necessarily enjoy becoming an internet meme does
01:35that affect the public part of your job now? No no it was just weird I think
01:39there was just like a moment in time you sort of can't predict what's I don't know
01:44gonna go viral or not it's all very strange world we live in but no no I'm not
01:49gonna I don't think we're gonna go around censoring ourselves also that was the
01:53most innocuous thing ever as well like we were just trying to make each other
01:56laugh and we said so much shit that day that that was the one that stuck
