"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

Hey given the close relationship between Deirta and Leylas and Leylas’ age relative to esseks do you think she knew him as a little kid? Do you think she ever held him as a baby? Do you think the reason she took his side and believed him against Verrat and later Adeen was because she didn’t want to believe a child she’d more than likely known since he entered the world would betray her so thoroughly? Do you think when Deirta was expecting she ever had Leylas over to have tea and helped decide between names? Do you think she had bets going on whether it would be a boy or a girl? Do you think his betrayal cut more knowing it came from a child she used to see holding onto his mother’s skirts and asking when they could go home?

all the jokes about Daeron chilling in Old Town while the other targtowers were experiencing The Horrors™ in King's Landing meanwhile Daeron was being raised by known Targaryen hater Ormund Hightower experiencing levels of catholic guilt Westeros has never seen again

one thing this show clearly doesn’t get, which a lot of modern portrayals of premodern times don’t seem to get, is that in a preindustrial society where literally everything is handmade, people preferred (and prefer!) to take a little longer to make things beautiful. if you’re personally spinning and weaving and stitching every inch your new coat, you might as well take an extra afternoon to dye the fibers a really lovely yellow with some onion scraps, and spend a little longer to embroider on a nice pattern. if you’re personally carving every angle of every chair in your house, you may as well slow down and carve them with a beautiful and culturally significant design, especially if you know your great-grandchildren will be sitting in them. in a hyperconsumerist industrial society it’s expected that you just buy what you can afford and settle for however beautiful or ugly the thing happens to be, but it wasn’t always that way. the vast majority of people in the premodern world—both rich and poor—were hobbyist artists, and they dressed in and sat on and slept under and smoked with and ate out of their and their ancestors’ canvases every day

I kinda believe that he will ignore Aemond's claim in favor of Daeron

“Daeron and Ormund’s relationship is really dysfunctional and horrible to watch, but brilliant and fun to direct. Because it’s a really abusive relationship, Daeron has only known the love that he’s known from Ormund, which isn’t love at all.

Daeron is in Ormund’s thrall, but doesn’t really understand it or know it, and Ormund is a great manipulator and knows when to give love and when to give punishment. He’s an evil man.”
