Now Alicent Hightower is horrified that the more monstrous of her sons has taken the throne as regent.
I would never say its boring, Collett says.
But its nice to be the good one.
This episode is Jaces journey to becoming worthy of the throne, Collett explains.
Hes actually got the brains to get through this war.
Hes becoming more violent, wanting to get revenge.
But I think its actually changed him for the better.
Is Jaces desire to get out into the field bravery or naivete?Its a bit of both.
Its naivete because hes never been to battle.
As much as he doesnt talk about it, it plays on his mind.
He used to have Luke to look after.
But it gives him more drive to go out there and prove that he can do this.
Hes not like,Oh, I want the bastards to take over now.
Its just a genuinely good suggestion, and he wants to take ownership of it.
But do you think anybody else on Team Black wouldve made that leap?
His mother is the rightful heir to the throne and he should know everything about this.
He thinks about it on the spot.
Who else would have thought that?
Some would think its absolutely ludicrous, putting other people on dragons that arent fully Targaryen.
But Jace knows he himself isnt fully Targaryen and hes able to do it.
So why not somebody else?
Does that come easy to him?
He knows hes best at that, and he wants to be the best in a more physical way.
Im not sure that was intentional, but it does make Jace realize the severity of this situation.
How is Jaces relationship with Daemon these days?
Is Jace rethinking that now that Daemons killed a child and gone AWOL?Weirdly, I think no.
He has doubts, but Daemon is the least of his worries right now.
Jace hasnt had one dominant father figure his whole life.
Hes not bothered that Daemon and Rhaenyra arent really getting along right now.
Thats why hes always asking, What about Daemon?
He has a fear that without Daemon, theyre helpless.
Hes seen Daemonchop someones head offin front of his very eyes.
He knows how effective Daemon can be in this great big war.
Can you talk about Jaces relationship with Baela and Rhaena?
He doesnt have those moments with Rhaenyra.
Its quite beautiful, really, because they are the healthiest relationship on the whole show.
Its not like theyve just been forced together.
They actually care about each other.
Do you wear a wig for the role?Season one, yes, season two, no.
