Moving on. Emilia Clarke<\/strong><\/a> revealed that her days of fire and blood are over after Game of Thrones<\/em><\/a>, and she has no plans to watch House of the Dragon<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cNo! Can you [forgive me]?\u201d Clarke, 36, told Variety<\/em><\/a> on Friday, January 20 when asked about watching HBO\u2019s Targaryen-centric spinoff. The prequel series started in August 2022 by stating it takes place 172 years before Clarke\u2019s character, Daenerys Targaryen, was born. It focuses on her ancestors when they had the Iron Throne.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s too weird. I\u2019m so happy it\u2019s happening. I\u2019m over the moon about all the awards,\u201d Clarke added, referring to the show\u2019s Golden Globe win<\/a> for Best Television Series \u2014 Drama earlier this month. \u201cI just can\u2019t do it. It\u2019s so weird. It\u2019s so strange. It\u2019s kind of like someone saying, \u2018You want to go to this school reunion that\u2019s not your year? Want to go to that school reunion?\u2019 That\u2019s how it feels. I\u2019m avoiding it.\u201d<\/p>\n Though she hasn\u2019t seen the series, she did offer some words of wisdom to star Emma D\u2019Arcy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah. I mean, so Miguel Sapochnik, one of the co-showrunners, he set me up on a date with, so to speak, with Emilia Clarke,\u201d the star, 30, told ComicBook.com<\/a> ahead of the fantasy drama\u2019s August debut.<\/p>\n \u201cGod, she was so generous. She gave me hours and she was so candid,\u201d they explained. \u201cAnd she spoke to all areas of that experience. And, I think, very cleverly, held some stuff back. Stuff to do with the release \u2026 But I think she was gently preparing me for the incredible stamina that this job requires and sort of priming me for battle, actually, and, yeah, amazing person.\u201d<\/p>\n While Clarke isn\u2019t trying to look back, her former co-star Kit Harrington<\/strong><\/a> is preparing to return to Westeros<\/a>. He\u2019ll reprise the character of Jon Snow in a spinoff series. When viewers last saw the Targaryen-Stark heir, he was sent to the Wall for killing Daenerys.<\/p>\n \u201cI think if you asked him, he would\u2019ve felt he got off lightly,\u201d Harington, 36, told the audience at a December Game of Thrones<\/em> convention in Los Angeles via Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAt the end of the show when we find him in that cell, he\u2019s preparing to be beheaded and he wants to be. He\u2019s done. The fact he goes to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.\u201d<\/p>\n The Eternals<\/em> star continued, \u201cHe\u2019s gotta go back up to the place with all this history and live out his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live out his life thinking about Ygritte dying in his arms, and live out his life thinking about how he hung Olly, and live out his life thinking about all of this trauma, and that \u2026 that\u2019s interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n He concluded by teasing, \u201cI think where we leave him at the end of the show, there\u2019s always this feeling of like \u2026 I think we wanted some kind of little smile that things are OK. He\u2019s not OK.\u201d<\/p>\n
