Emilia Clarke Talks 'Game Of Thrones' Scripts and "Mental" Sixth Season

Fresh from her Primetime Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen, 'Game of Thrones' star Emilia Clarke is already getting excited about the sixth season of the fantasy series, telling fans to expect some "mental" scenes.

Emilia Clarke promises big things for 'Game of Thrones'

Speaking to Variety, the actress said, "I'm looking forward to absolutely every part of it, it's like go-go-go from episode one.

"You know how sometimes it's like, 'We're just going to remind you and warm you up: remember this and remember that and I bet you forgot his name…' sort of thing? 

"[This season] it's literally like, 'Oh yeah, no chance to catch up, here you go, we're just gonna hit you with it every episode, with something more mental than the last'."

Talking about the writing talent behind a series that has gained no less than 24 Emmy nominations this year, she added, "Every season, the scripts come in and it never feels like the same character, it always feels so new and exciting. 

This dragon will kill you, unless you're Daenerys 

"They screw us over royally as actors because every other script I read in comparison to those scripts are rubbish — we’re spoiled for life. So I feel insanely lucky and privileged, and I want so much for David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] to get the writing win."

But what about her own Emmy nomination? "I was in the doctor's waiting room [when I got the call]" she said. "Being like, 'Oh, good... I just have to continue this phone call with everyone giving me loads of congratulations and getting stared at by everybody else in the waiting room to shut the hell up.' 

"So it was absolutely brilliant, hilarious - couldn't have happened in a better place."

So there you have it, 'GoT' fans. Only another nine months or so to go until the increasingly "mental" HBO show is back on screens. Meanwhile, catch Emilia Clarke in a rather different setting right now, as Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys.
