One commonality between both of those moments is that they were brought to the screen by director Thomas Napper.
Napper is a veteran of the series, having directedThe Wheel of Timeseason 2episodes 1 and 2.
ScreenRantspoke with Thomas Napper about his work directingThe Wheel of Timeseason 3s standout episode 4and its predecessor.
Thats because, in Nappers words,I couldnt understand it.
I need to go back and really understand whats going on here.
How is this going to work?
Obviously, that depends on what happens, [but] I desperately want to see that on screen.
I love the idea that his feet become their feet and his hands become their hands.
What is [the character] doing when that happens?

Whats the physical position of this person?Napper wondered when shooting the scenes.
Its like a crazy psychedelic history lesson.
But I was involved in all the castings and directing the scenes with Donal.
I think hes a fantastic actor.
I think Donals, like, the perfect Mat.
Hes so funny, but hes also quicksilver.

Hes got an amazing energy and personality[hes] really, really fun to be with.
He feels very Mat.
I want to go dicing with him.
Hes got some serious pipes.
