In terms of the two actors never actually being on the same set together? You never saw both their faces in the same shot. I'm sure it happens subtly all the time but it really stood out to me here.
I believe that was very intentional.
But why? Production purposes (not taking on the logistics / expense to get the two actors into the same room together)?
To showcase how they are not allies yet. To demonstrate Dany believes she is Queen and Jon is just a Lord. To really drive home their divide.

They shared a scene together later when she conceded the mining of dragonglass.
Strange that she was no longer protected, and almost looked infatuated.

Probably. Wonder if he would attack a Targaryen.

Seeing as how Lena Headey had a double mastectomy last year, yeah, I would guess so.

Because you believed me, posted once, then googled it, then posted again. This is a lesson for you: google before posting. #informationliteracy

I'm kinda dreading Jon's big reveal because I don't know how much more of his confused stares and denial I can take. This one is gonna be epic.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

His "brooding" exchange with Tyrion bought him some much-needed good will with this viewer.
