It would explain why everyone was so cagey about the recasting (salaries aren’t something that’s really discussed publicly), and why the other “established actresses” who were offered the role before Emilia turned it down. Pretty much all of the young cast in season one was unknowns who likely weren’t getting paid much by Hollywood standards. (And just speaking from my own experience in the job market, I have definitely noticed that the lower I put my “desired salary” on a job application, the more likely I am to get an interview. I’ve heard similar things from other people.) Bingo The Bard of Banefort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLightning Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I've stated this before in this HoTD Musings thread but I'm concerned about where they are going to take HoTD It seems like D&D gave Rhaenyra's ending to Daenerys (promising start with a bad end, became a cruel dictator, murdered by a blood relative because of the schemes of jealous people) which has basically made Daenerys' book ending unnecessarily complicated but is slated to make HoTD look bad. smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why the argument “you should have seen it coming” fails, in relation to Daenerys. If putting people to death, often very brutally, is justified to exact revenge on those who have wronged your family, or to advance your family’s interests, it is certainly justified in the cause of liberating slaves.

Same with Alicent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
