finally some interviewer touched on Criston being a common factor between Rhaenyra and Alicent. Fabien's answer is certainly intriguing

i appreciate phia's insight on b&c in the show. it is a shame that it was different from the book, but helaena's character is fundamentally different from her book version as well. i think the show's portrayal is truer version to her character.

Really good questions

I honestly feel bad for Alicent, the moment she finally tries to embrace liberation suddenly awful thing happened. Like it'll just add more guilt to her already growing guilt with Aemond killing Luke and then her making Aegon king.

While they’re all great actors, Phia is the most intriguing and unpredictable of the cast, just like her character. Looking at her body language and the way she listens, not to mention her answers.

It's not an accident that Alicent slept with see Cristen Cole. She was hightower green with jealousy of Rhaenyra. She wanted Rhaenyra's freedom, Rhaenyra's power and Rhaenyra's throne. In her mind, she's sleeping with Viserys out of duty (even though what she cant admit to herself is that she agreed to do so partly for the thrill in being queen) And here Rhaenyra is with her young, hot knight, not caring that the rules of the world she lives in would frown on it. Alicent is like so many repressed people who resent others for daring to do the things they would never have the courage to, only to prove themselves hypocritical by eventually doing that exact same thing.

Once again, great interviews §

The logical of choosing the couples doesn’t work for Matt and Fabien cause there characters doesn’t have such a strong connection. Matt would be a more logical pair to Ewan.

I have the impression the actors could be better writers for the show. Specially for Alice and Cole.

It's always interesting listening to Fabien's thoughts on Criston because it's so out of step with what people perceive based on what they see on screen. Criston does seem better at Rhaenyra still. Something's not connecting.
