At the conclusion of every Game of Thrones episode, the production airs and then releases a spate of videos detailing the behind-the-scenes work that went into making it. These videos explore the thought process that went into the creation of particular scenes, and highlight what the writers and directors see as the key moments of the episode.
This week’s “Inside The Episode” for “Blood of My Blood” interestingly describes Bran’s visions as him “absorbing the history of the world.” Benioff and Weiss also discuss the major return of Benjen Stark (which they actually call “Coldhands,”) as well as Arya’s choice and Dany’s dramatic speech.
I was really surprised at what the “Inside the Episode” doesn’t discuss: King’s Landing and Margaery’s huge play that basically undercuts the power of everyone in the Red Keep currently. Lucky for us, the first actor deep dive does that, with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jonathan Pryce.
But, again, very frustratingly, Natalie Dormer isn’t included in this discussion. everyone has complained that Margaery’s motivations are unclear, but it strikes me that this is the first time in the show Margaery has been inscrutable–which is how she is in all the books, always. Perhaps that why the producers don’t discuss it in the main segment, and she’s not interviewed or this one–so that they can keep those motivations under wraps for a little while longer.
Our second actor deep dive is with John Bradley and Hannah Murray on what was, surprisingly, perhaps one of the best scenes they’ve had all season: Sam’s homecoming.
And finally, the clip that the show posted for the week is that of Dany’s flight in on dragon back, so that we can all marvel once again at the size of Drogon.
Goddamn, he got big.
