It’s not typically a present’s Easter Egg is an precise egg, not to mention three of them.
However that’s simply what HBO’s Home of the Dragon had throughout the second season’s third episode, “The Burning Mill,” on Sunday evening.
Within the scene, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) sends Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) off to the Vale, and afterwards she’s imagined to journey throughout the Slim Sea to Pentos. Rhaenyra additionally offers Rhaena 4 dragon eggs to take to Pentos for safekeeping. Within the Sport of Thrones pilot, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) is offered with a trio of petrified dragon eggs as a marriage present in Pentos. Three of the eggs within the Dragon scene are gold, inexperienced and black, similar to Dany’s.
Followers naturally questioned: Are three of these eggs that Rhaena is shuttling the identical ones Dany was given? The identical eggs which hatched right into a trio dragons, the dragons which each helped Dany conquer Westeros, and likewise led to her downfall?
Seems, sure.
The episode’s director, Geeta Vasant Patel, informed Mashable: “These are Daenerys’ eggs. All of us who work on this present are huge Sport of Thrones followers, so it was very thrilling to shoot that scene.”
Provided that there’s 4 eggs, one would possibly assume that one of many eggs will ultimately hatch into Rhaena’s dragon, however that’s hypothesis.
In a Display Rant interview, Patel additionally weighed in on that shocking scene the place Rhaenyra sneaks again into King’s Touchdown to have a secret assembly with Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke). She notes that Rhaenyra wasn’t truly there to attempt to make a cope with Alicent.
“Rhaenyra was there to ask, ‘Did my father love me? Did he deceive me?,” she stated. “And that’s what that second’s about … You understand that there’s going to be a warfare as a result of neither of them is keen to compromise. I believe there’s one thing actually profound that’s taking place with Rhaenyra, as a result of she is somebody who up to now has compromised. However on this second, I imagine — and that is me as a fan — there’s an ego rising in her.”
