When filming the final shots of the season finale, Patel told that she “wanted [the shots] to contrast so that you feel the relationship between these two protagonists and these sisters, these lovers in a way.” Except now, Rhaenyra is the one trapped by the confines of her station and role in society while Alicent has more freedom to choose her own path.

Some people have compared Alicent’s confession to Rhaenyra as a “coming out” scene in a way.

Even when you’re antagonistic toward each other, we both understand what it’s like to be us. A 10/10 for me, no doubt about it. Simultaneously, Daemon gets shafted from beyond the grave and he’s a sensitive person who becomes violent when that sensitivity is made visible. The world may never know. Even though Rhaenyra declines, choosing the role her father laid out for her, there’s clearly still love there between them.

Someone like me is trusted with action with politics with adventure with someone’s head being cut off.”

Sara Hess, who wrote the majority of Season 1 alongside Condal, says the goal in all of this “wasn’t specifically focused on women,” but rather to make “every character on our show equally flawed and nuanced and interesting and virtuous and fucked up at the same time and to imbue our women with just as much contradictory flawed humanity as possible.”

“House of the Dragon” is based on Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” a fictional history book about the Targaryen family, which predates the storyline at the center of “Game of Thrones” by almost 200 years. 

Over the course of its first season, “House of the Dragon” had four childbirth scenes, some of which were so graphic — including the death-by-childbirth in the premiere — that they disturbed viewers.

Poignant tale of an unconventional family. She asks Rhaenyra to come with her, to forgo this war and live the life they dreamed of as young girls. Therefore, we can have conversations that are very different than we would have with a man,” Hess said.

“There’s an embedded empathy when you have a scene with another woman,” Cooke said. “With Alicent and Dyana the servant girl, Alicent being, ‘I know, I know, I know what you feel like.

They’re so flawed and human and messy. So I was just doing my job, but when I received all of these comments from women and men – but to be honest, mainly women – about how this thing had landed for them, it just made me so happy.”

Specifically,the scenes between two women characters on “House of the Dragon,” including those not shared by Alicent and Rhaenyra, but rather between them and the older Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best), are among the cast and creatives’ favorites.

“In those moments, there’s a shared understanding of what it’s like to be women.

Basically people were having sex left, right and center. Did not expect this at all!
