Summary
House of the Dragondirector Geeta Vasant Patel addresses why the season 2 finale,“The Queen Who Ever Was , " does not culminate in a massive battle .

The instalment ’s last shots feature a thrilling collage of these various forces being arrayed and heading to warfare , bug epic conflict to come that will now not be see until the serial publication returns for season 3 .
I frankly did n’t know what to anticipate . I did n’t know if it would be a battle or something else . I probably expected a battle , just as a buff . Then when I translate the script , I was pleasantly surprised and felicitous , because I imagine we put too much on battles . I guess what ’s really interesting about this sequence is that it ’s about relationships . It ’s the dialogue , the twirl and good turn , the family relationship between Daemon and Rhaenyra , and Rhaenyra and Alicent .
For me , it was quite electrifying to focus on the dramaturgy . I have sex that . I was excited to dig deeply with this . I by all odds felt the challenge if the great unwashed are expecting a big conflict , how is this going to vie with it ? But having done episode 8 from time of year 1 , I recognise that if we execute the book it would be howling .
