00:00Congratulations on season two.
00:02After the success of last season,
00:04what was the main focus you wanted to look into
00:07when approaching season two?
00:08And were there any conversations with George R.R. Martin
00:11that stood out to you when making this season?
00:14Yeah, I mean, we just wanted to do more good,
00:18more of the same that we did in season one
00:21and follow the narrative.
00:23And I think the thing that George cares most about
00:25is just the rendering of his world
00:27and that it's true and faithful
00:30to what he's written in Fire and Blood.
00:32And we strive to do that every single day.
00:35I don't think it's always possible to be to the letter
00:38because it's a history book
00:39and it's sort of a Rashomon story.
00:41It's different points of view of the same event.
00:43So we kind of have to pick the one objective path
00:45on the way through it.
00:46But no, I mean, he really loves season one
00:49and I think enjoys what we're doing with the show.
00:52Definitely, and I know last season,
00:54two of the breakout stars were Emily Alcock and Emily Carey.
00:56Is there a world in which they would maybe
00:59make an appearance either this season or beyond
01:01in the form of a flashback?
01:03I mean, we don't, this is not really
01:06a flashback kind of story.
01:10And that really wasn't the structure
01:14of the original Game of Thrones either.
01:16I like to kind of move ahead with stories
01:18and have people talk about history
01:20versus seeing it and experiencing it.
01:23But I don't know, we'll see.
