“She never was able to read a room,” says actor Tom Glynn-Carney about Rhaenys’ (Eve Best) unexpected appearance at the coronation of her character, Aegon II, in the penultimate episode of the first season of House of the Dragon. A hilarious comment and well on paper, with Ewan Mitchell agreeing.

The two actors, brothers in history, get along well and star in the new promotional piece for the second season, always separating the Greens from the Blacks, reviewing and commenting on some of the crucial moments of the premiere. It’s short and fun!

Obviously, they open with the death of Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault), trying to keep the joke going. While Tom maintains Aegon’s evil and irony, he questions what Aemond really felt at that moment: “I think that last look he [Aemond] has is brilliant,” says the actor about the shock of Vaghar’s uncontrollable attack (“hungry”, jokes Tom), “Elliot Grihault, like the wisest kid that I’ve ever met. I feel really bad about it. It haunts my dreams,” adds Mitchell.

The two actors tease each other, like brothers, remembering some difficulties, and due to Aemond’s eye patch, Ewan faces more discomfort and difficulties: running up the stairs after Aegon, being one of them. Tom was afraid of falling while Ewan threw himself into the scene. “You suffer for your art, darling,” the King of Greens joked.

Not that he didn’t have his difficulties himself. The Crown – see the irony – didn’t fit on the actor’s head and with each take it became deeper. “It was a funny shape. It sort of, like, balanced on my head like a jaunty angle…So they put some rubber filling in it to make it fit properly,” he revealed. “I was genuinely nervous about doing that. To be coronated,” he also confessed.

Another fun moment is when Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) hugs them both. “It’s a great angle, the three of us together”, celebrates Ewan. “What is Aemond’s plan from now on?”, asks Tom. “I don’t know, I don’t want to spoil it”, Ewan says.

There are more funny details that comment, including Tom’s complaint about Aegon’s cloak, which makes it difficult to sit down.

The farewell with Rhaenys interrupting the coronation with her dragon Meleys and massacring hundreds of peasants before flying off provokes little fear and more laughter from the Greens. And it gives me shudders to think about what lies ahead…
