As this season of Home of the Dragon units up the wars to come back, a sense of peace is briefly granted to the ailing King Viserys (Paddy Considine) in “The Lord of the Tides.” For the primary time in years, his whole household descends on King’s Touchdown to grapple over management of Driftmark—leading to some, uh, spicy moments blended with one thing nearly as shocking: earnest grace.
These moments performed out spontaneously, in response to episode director Geeta Patel, who spoke concerning the sequence to Leisure Weekly.
Within the scene, we see Daemon (Matt Smith) serving to his brother Viserys up the steps to his throne, which the king permits although he wished to struggle by means of the ache of his situation to make his means on his personal. “Daemon helps Viserys up the steps to the throne ‘trigger Viserys is so weak, he can’t make it himself,” Patel defined. “First, a soldier comes as much as Viserys, and Viserys shakes him away and says, ‘No, no, no. I can do that myself.’ He has the delight. After which one other particular person involves him and he thinks it’s a soldier and it’s truly his brother. After we had been capturing that, the crown fell off of Paddy’s head and Matt picked it up and we simply stored going. We didn’t cease [filming]. There was a discovery there of this second,” in what grew to become essentially the most transferring scene in final night time’s episode.

Patel continued that after that spontaneous take, she talked to Considine and Smith about preserving it, “They had been like, ‘We felt this. This felt just like the turning level in our relationship.’ It’s only a silent second. After which we thought to ourselves, ‘We’ve got the dinner developing the place Daemon’s gonna then give a speech. Are we gonna undercut that second?’ We determined to shoot it each methods with the crown falling off and with the crown not falling off.” Finally, the silent second proved extra impactful. “Each time the crown fell off, all of us simply caught our breath and on the identical time we thought, ‘Will now we have wherever to go by the point we get to the dinner?’ And humorous sufficient, within the edit we found that the second was truly the crown falling off, in my thoughts at the very least.”
Smith’s dinner speech as Daemon ended up being minimize for time however Patel clarified, “It was extra of an aftermath second. It was extra concerning the dinner when Daemon offers that speech, there’s too many individuals within the room nearly for that to be the emotional second. I used to be so grateful that accident occurred, that the crown fell off as a result of it proved to be, at the very least for me, fairly a heavy second and fairly a turning level for a storyline that had began within the pilot: Hey, I would like your crown and by the tip right here I’m gonna put the crown again in your head and I’m gonna provide help to to your throne.”
