Kudos to whoever had the idea of uploading the BTS long videos on KZfaq. Everyone should see and appreciate the tremendous effort that goes into producing this show. I’m frequently amazed by the physical props and effects shown in these BTS videos, which I initially thought were CGI when watching the episodes.

Seeing Criston run for his life made my whole week

Moon dancer looks so cool love it.

Give props to the horse actors for pretending there was a dragon chasing them, even remaining silent in the forest afterwards, clever boys

House of the Dragon sets and costumes are insane for scenes lasting only a few minutes. Some can only dream of having this kind of love and care for their shows. The fact that this only cost HBO about the same per episode as some SFX-heavy Disney+ series is a head scratcher. The difference in production value is night and day.

The Harennhall scenes are the highlights of the episode for me. It was truly haunting, chilling and beautiful. Along with the layers that it brought to Daemon, it was also a joy to see Milly once again 😍

Daemon going lookin for a fight and not gettin it(at least not yet? 🤔)is brilliant. His disappointment was expressed throughout, sitting at dinner lol

the rain gave corlys an extra grit to his character because it showed us that he was more hands-on than most other lords in terms of their actual day-to-day activities

Daemon suited in full armor making his way through the rainy ruins of Harrenhall looked like live action Elden Ring gameplay. Just stunning.

Loved the Baela scene. The dragon chase was so dynamic.

the dragon chase may have been the most visually impressive scene I've seen in like 5 years

The secret meeting between Rhaenyra and Alicent inside the Great Sept reminded me of the fictional meeting between Queens Elizabeth and Mary in _Mary Queen of Scots_ (2018). Historians agree that Elizabeth and Mary have never met in person, but the film made it convincing how it could have happened secretly and not been recorded in history. Much props to Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke for their performances in portraying the tragedy of Rhaenyra and Alicent's past friendship.

Loved the Baela scene, gave me the chills

It's so damn refreshing to see how much the entire cast and crew cares and how much work goes into it all.

easily some of the best dragon riding acting from Bethany Antonia we've seen in the universe so far.

honestly the best "dark" scene they've done so far. It was dark but we could see everything. Also Matt was at a water park basically lol

BAELA THE BRAVE🙏

Baela was iconic

These behind the scenes videos after each week's episode really make the experience of watching the show even more enjoyable. Seeing how much work and care goes into every single detail really makes one appreciate each detail in the final result, especially because we're getting to see the vision behind each episode specifically. It's kind of amazing how well they're doing at keeping out spoilers.

Loved the scene of Rhaenys and Corlys in the rain, favorite bit of the episode for me. Just love those two

HOTD delivers so fucking hard.

I very much appreciate the building of real sets rather than just always using cgi or the volume.

Had me on the edge of the couch the entire time. The suspense

this BTS was such a rich idea, can't believe they didn't do this before... Felt a lot more connected to the episode!

That shot of the aftermath, panning up the sword past the hilt to see nothing but death, was an awesome image.

Everything in this episode was so beautifully shot! Especially Cole.😂😂😂😂

Aegon's armour looks so great, and I like it on Tom! Our short king

Battle of the Burning Mill really nailed the vibes of "Boy, that escalated quickly. Things really got out of hand".

Props for the animal trainers especially who trained the dragon

The architecture really stands out this season.

These Behind the Scenes are such a good idea, you can really admire and understand the process of creating this visual feast that we see in HoTD as well as the brilliant people and their work that otherwise wouldn't be featured or noticed, as well as its always delightful to have a cast with genuine friendship and showing their passion for the show and the story. Kudos to all of the team.

It is amazing that the majority of the set is not CGI and I appreciate it very much.

The nerd in me was so happy at the little size comparison model of Moondancer and Baela 🤣 GORGEOUS design btw 😍

The producers and crew are absolutely nuts. The level of attention to detail is absolutely exquisite. It's amazing to see this show rival the first four seasons of Game of Thrones. I hate waiting another week because of how amazing they are doing with this show.

Costume design in this show is beyond phenomenal. So well done. I wish all shows I watch could have this team 😂

Massive props to Geeta Patel and the DP, Catherine Goldschmidt. This was one of the most well shot episodes in the series. The scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria w/ Seasmoke in the background was so beautiful visually. I want those wide shots made into a poster for my wall!

Aemond naked standing carried the show fr fr

The Harrenhal set is incredible!

Insanely good episode

Legit thought they had filmed outside. To have it rain INSIDE THE SET is top notch craftsmanship. Harrenhal is testament to true craftsmanship of film and TV. Absolutely outstanding work. The best moments in the episode.

I love it when Geeta was like, make it Bollywood rain, dramatic and outrageous!

I'm here for Freddie Fox as Gwayne Hightower

the harbor scene got 100 times better with that rain. you could try and pull with your greatest might, you'd never get Alicent anywhere near where Rhaenys was standing.

The takeover of harrenhal was such a great scene, felt absolutely lost and haunted the whole way.

she is a great director that was the best episode so far

that is honestly the sickest suit of armor I’ve ever seen

Thanks for the views of Moondancer model. I wish we get the same for all dragons.

"Aegon Is obsessed with namesakes and symbols of legitimacy.(He has) [Such as] his Father's valerian dagger..." Aegon: puts the dagger in his mouth

Each episode builds up so much tension and now, for sure, the next episode will begin the war from Rhaenyra's side officially. Baela scared the heck out of me

I LOVED Harrenhal in this episode. It matches the book descriptions instead of it just being some random regular castle. Just seeing the half-melted towers as Daemon and Caraxes fly up was so cool, but seeing the inside in such detail was even better.

I love Baela she's fierce.

I know that the ending was quite divisive, but the work the entire crew has put into the show, to bring the book to life, is just phenomenal. Matt Smith, Tom Glynn-Carney and Bethany Antonia, as well was the rest of the cast are all very good actors, the costumes are great, that scene of the aftermath of the Battle of the Burning Mill was just astonishing, and the sets are just so real.

Bittersteel has the power of friendship and rage on his side.

This really reminds me of the lord of the rings and star wars behind the scenes, this stuff really connects you to the production and will be enjoyed by many for years to come, long may they continue

The level of hard work and detailing is exactly why the GoT universe is the best thing on TV :)

VFX guy: "how much rain do you want?" Producer: "YES."

Im making a habit of coming to watch these after watching every episode, who else is?

Really enjoy these insights into the incredible work and craftsmanship that goes into this show, and appreciate they're available for everyone to see here! That Aegon armour is something else!

All the praise for the set crafting and desing done for this show. Time has and will always tell that detail like the sort pays off in comparison with the corners the indurstry is cutting in other visual media nowadays.

Great job, as always, guys! Very impressive

Loving these behind the scenes videos

Daemon's Souls was an amazing scene!

Unbelievably cool - Hats off to all the amazing artists working on this show!

What an incredible work of art. I love all of this!!

Absolutely love this show ❤ Non-stop action that put me on the edge of my seat..

This is amazing. You guys deserve all the praises.

Whoever decided to upload the BTS in such lengths THANK you! I'm really glad we can all appreciate the work and craftsmanship going into every scene 🥰

I absolutely love Bethany. Go girl, give us Cole running for his life! 😂❤

I just appreciate them showing lots of love to Moondancer and Bayla ,

I was thinking to myself how cool that set must be when I was watching the episode! Thanks for the BTS.

My golly the marvellous work of these people! So much talent!

God, they do so much work for 1 episode. incredible... thank you heroes in backend...

Still can’t get over her hair 😂😂😂😂😂

The season is awesome so far

This staff are friggin amazing at what they do👏👏👏

Genuinely sad that the blackwood lad in the first minute of the episode is actually dead, he seemed like a spaz 😂 I would have thought he had that staying power to him

Enjoyed the shipyard background & Bethany's excitement of dragon riding.

This is just... so freaking amazing !

They're building everything! So cool

Amazing. Great great work! Very enjoyable result 😍

For anyone that is interested. The Harrenhal set was in Leavesden Studios near London. Its the same place where the Harry Potter Studio Tour is

6:58 i know it's a prosthetic at this point and STILL it fools me for the first few seconds. insane work.

Just amazing. Very good work

The scene was simply amazing

Such a good episode!!!

Daemon is still daemon when interviewed

I'm going to watch these episodes 3 times each just to appreciate the craft n detail in each of these scenes

Bethany did fantastic to bring the whole fierce daughter of Daemon to life

13:17 I can't with Ryan not reading fire & blood

Moondancer is so pretty! ❤

This music is amazing!

"fit for a king"🔥💚

lol the term Bollywood 10 being used as a standard of grandioseness and exaggeration is absolutely hilarious to me as an Indian

Really love the series.

Watching BTS are giving me so much respect for all the people doing their bests to give us the viewers the best shots for the shows just wow, imagine what they’re going through just to do and make sure those scenes in any kind of weather, I can’t believe, thank you for giving as such a wonderful show like this❤

My Favorite episode ❤

Best episode of season 2 so far! Loved it!

Such fantastic sets. The acting ❤❤❤

Just wow. They’re coming for alllll the awards

Starting this, I was desperately hoping they would discuss Aegon's armor. Gorgeous!
