House of the Dragon star Harry Collett explains Jacaerys’ defiance in season 2

As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of “House of the Dragon,” I’ve been hooked since the very first episode. The latest developments in season 2 have really ramped up the tension, with the Battle of Rook’s Rest leaving both sides reeling from their losses. I was particularly frustrated as a viewer when I watched Rhaenyra and Jacaerys, two strong-willed characters, feeling powerless to change the course of events.

In “House of the Dragon” season 2, tensions remain high as the aftermath of the Battle of Rook’s Rest leaves both sides in the Targaryen civil war reeling. The Greens suffered heavy losses due to dragonfire, while the Blacks mourn the loss of their cherished Princess Rhaenys Targaryen and her massive dragon Meleys. The Greens must now confront the sobering possibility that their monarch, Aegon Targaryen, may not make a full recovery from his wounds.

Rhaenyra grew irritated by the unfolding events, as she believed she had no power to intervene; after all, she was a queen, but the Black Council cautioned against her involvement for her safety. Her son, Jacaerys Velaryon, shared her frustration and in the fifth episode, “Regent,” he took matters into his own hands.

Harry Collett on how Jacaerys Velaryon asserts dominance on House of the Dragon

I, Jace, mounted my dragon Vermax, determined to visit the Freys at the Twins and discuss terms for letting Cregan Stark’s Northern troops pass through the Riverlands. This decision followed our growing frustration with Daemon Targaryen, who had initially promised Harrenhal to his queen but now seemed more focused on seizing the Iron Throne for himself. When he wasn’t busy grappling with recurring nightmares, that is. I knew we needed a new plan.

The young man effectively persuaded during the negotiation process. Harry Collett, who plays Jace in Star on TV Guide, discussed this skillfully executed task in a recent interview with TV Guide. He highlighted how Jace managed such a complex mission without betraying any signs of anxiety (though some may have been present beneath his calm exterior).

He’s definitely nervous because he knows he shouldn’t be there… But I think overall he is so confident because he wants to go back to his mother and tell her he has done this and has gotten her more people on her side. Now give me more things to do!

With unwavering resolve, Jace made sure the Freys listened intently as he spoke. His delivery was persuasive, leaving no doubt in their minds. He explained to the duo that gaining control of Harrenhal required more than just the bridge – they had to pay homage to Rhaenyra, acknowledging her as the rightful queen.

As a gamer, I can tell you that I was the one who came up with the idea for that scene. You’ll notice that Jace stands up and makes us fill his glass before he speaks. My intent behind this was to establish dominance.

In a way, I thought that would assert dominance. It will show that Jace understands what he is doing. And as for bent knees, it is so important because it sounds easy. That’s all he wants, for people to bow down to his mother, the rightful heir to the throne.

As someone who has closely followed the events unfolding in the world of “Game of Thrones” and its prequel series “House of the Dragon,” I’ve become particularly intrigued by the complex dynamics between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her eldest son, Jace.

Jace’s desire to prove himself to Rhaenyra

As a gamer, I can relate to Collett’s experience when he shared with TV Guide that Jace’s rebellious behavior stems from his strong desire to earn his mother’s approval. This shift in their dynamic has even left the child taking on the role of the parent at times. It feels like a typical teenage outburst, fueled by deep-seated grief, and I’ve certainly seen my fair share of that in the gaming world!

I think it is because he is so overwhelmed with the fact that he lost his little brother and he wants to do something. Every single emotion has taken over his mind, and he just wants to achieve revenge, and doesn’t really care what his mother says.

In the latest episode, I was thrilled to witness Jace’s impressive display of courage not only during his encounter with the Freys but also in his heartfelt conversation with Rhaenyra towards the end. This potentially game-changing exchange between them could bring a much-needed boost of hope for House Black in their ongoing war.

After the tragic loss of Rhaenys and Meleys, the duo pondered over the importance of having additional dragonriders join their ranks. It was Jacaerys who proposed an intriguing solution: exploring the extensive family tree of the Targaryens, tracing back to those who had married into other noble families throughout history. By incorporating more Valyrian blood, there was a potential for producing more dragonriders. Although the connection might be weak, it could still provide enough link for riders to claim dragons, thereby bolstering their power.

Collett appreciates the joy of watching them collaborate as a team, as such instances benefit the realm greatly. Additionally, if their plan to recruit more distant relatives as dragonriders succeeds, it could bring even more advantages to the realm, considering the potential danger of Aemond taking over King’s Landing instead of Viserys. The moment for intervention is at hand, and Jacaerys has demonstrated this more than anyone else.

It’s clear that the young dragon rider impressed greatly during the fifth episode. He demonstrated his value as a capable messenger to his mother and showed off his inventive mind. If he continues in this manner, he may become his mother’s hidden advantage.
