Emilia Clarke Hypes Up The Epic Nature Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season Six: ‘It’s Mental.’

As we all know, Game Of Thrones is already filming for season six and the hype train is chugging along in an attempt to tease your curiosities and build up momentum for the grand events to come. And like a younger, prettier Doc Brown with dragons, Emilia Clarke is there to toss some fuel in the fire and force the train up to 88 mph.

The actress chatted with the LA Times to reflect on season five and build up some excitement for season six, including all the dead folks that may or may not be returning from their graves (not counting White Walker mischief). When asked if she knows where her character is going next, Clarke couldn’t help but explode with some excitement about Dany’s trajectory within the other large brushstrokes of the show:

“Ooooh. Oooooh there’s so much in store for her. I’m saying that obviously because I’ve read the script for next season. Muwah ha ha! I know stories. It’s really exciting. Next season, I’ve said this before, but there’s a lot of season where you need to (rightly so) kind of need to set the scene. And you have a couple of episodes where you’re like, “OK, feeding information, I get it. We’re finding out about this person. And we know about that person. And oh, there’s that person.” But this season coming up, that we’re about to film, there’s none of that. It’s just go, go, go, go. Shocking moment to shocking moment. Epic moment to epic moment. It’s mental; it’s epic. And definitely Dany’s a part of it.”

She also goes into detail about the trouble with learning Dothraki once again, something that is apparently night and day when compared to Valyrian, and how Dany will mature a bit in season six following her failures as a ruler last season. But none of this compares with the pain of having to choose between filming for Game of Thrones and attending the Emmys. The Times asked if the cast will be attending the Emmys together since so many are nominated for the high marks of the past season:

I really hope so. The thing is, it’s right in the middle of our filming schedule. So begins the war of, “But I’ve gotta go. You can stay and do your bit of filming. I want to go to the Emmys.” I think there’s going to be lots of that. “I’ve got my dress already, so, I win.” Or they’ll just be really clever and just shut down filming for a second. But that would have massive repercussions, so I don’t know if that would be the case, but we shall see…

It’s pretty funny. I remember I did that for, not last year, but the year before. I literally did London, Belfast [Ireland], L.A., Croatia in 40 hours, or something mental. It was bizarre. I think I just walked up on set, “I think I’m still drunk or hung over, can’t quite tell. Let’s do it. Let’s get on a horse. Let’s ride through the desert. Let’s free some slaves. Let’s get it going.”

Who hasn’t been drunk or hung over on a horse before? I can only imagine the hard drinking stars of yesterday starring in a show like Game of Thrones, having to deal with CGI and awkward story twists and turns. Richard Harris would be a withered husk after getting lost in the desert. Drunk, high and looking for something to have sex with.

But tell us Emilia, what about Jon Snow’s hair? Does this mean he’s back from the dead and trapped in the mind of a small badger? Spill it!
