The makers felt that it was important to bring Game of Thronesstyle action to the pilot.

As Condal adds, Its the real final moment for her being forced to say goodbye in that way.
She is also the first woman ever to be named heir.
Viserys was named heir over someone who shouldve deserved it, Princess Rhaenys.

However, Sapochnik doesnt think Rhaenyra has any idea what shes getting into.
And honestly, nor do we!
