House of the Dragon: Condal Defends “Blood & Cheese,” Maelor Changes
handily enough , a bonus sequence of the show ’s official podcast dropped in the thick of all of the fingerbreadth - pointing and Charles William Post disappearing from back in September between the showrunner andGeorge RR Martin , one that saw Condal addressing a number of interrogative sentence regarding bring " Fire & Blood " to live - activity lifespan . Here ’s what Condal had to say in defence of the decisions made regarding " Blood & Cheese " and Maelor :
" rip & Cheese " : " I stand behind the adaptation of how the plot of land unfold . I have sing about this quite a bit , but I will just say it in unmistakable text : the children that we had in the story were just too young to be able-bodied to build that narrative exactly as set out in the Holy Scripture . Period . I have lots of experience put to work with very youthful performing artist . To ask two four - year - old to play through that grade of dramatic play ; it ’s just not a naturalistic expectation .
There ’s also a hardheaded element around the things that you may expose young children to on a film Seth . Yes , you’re able to do clever cutaways , and boob , and all those thing . We wanted this to be a very visceral , subjective experience , not something that was very ' cut - y ' and with closeups . And when you take up actually breaking apart what fall out in that elbow room , and the things that are said , and the things that are done , it became such a challenge to mean about and mount that we start up front for — what are the base element of this level , that Daemon and Rhaenyra station bravo into the Red Keep , and as a result the king ’s baby and inheritor [ is ] murdered — and how do we dramatize that in a way that ’s exciting , and visceral , and horrifying , and do it in the honest way possible ? "
recede Maelor : " And Maelor , if he were born yet in this adaptation of the the TV timeline , would have been an infant because of the age of Jaehaerys and Jaehaera . honestly , this goes back to our first time of year and render to adapt a tarradiddle that takes position over 20 years of chronicle instead of a story that take place over 30 year of account . We had to make some via media in render that story so that we did n’t have to remodel the whole cast multiple times and really misplace citizenry . It was a choice made . It did have a ripple effect , and we resolve that we were going to lean into it and adjudicate to make it a strength instead of play it as aweakness . "
