Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke on character's 'heartbreaking' loss

Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has commented
on her character’s "heartbreaking" loss in last
week’s episode.
In an unexpected turn - even in a show known for its
ruthless axing of characters - Daenerys Targaryen,
mother of dragons, lost one of her children.
Viserion was struck mid-air by the Night King's spear,
died and then returned to life - but apparently under
the White Walker's control.
"It's a heartbreak," Clarke told Entertainment Weekly.
"Not only losing it but having that being given to the
other side."
Most of the penultimate show of the penultimate
season is set North of the Wall, with the White
Walkers - or is it Jon Snow? - proving to be ice and
Daenerys proving to be fire - the original title of the
book series being A Song Of Ice And Fire.
It also took a significant turn on one of its most
popular fan theories, regarding Daenerys' dream of a
dragon with three heads, which could potentially
mean three different characters will ride them.
'My dragon could not have died for nothing', says
Clarke
Since last week's episode, it is likely that we'll see
the Night King riding Viserion, and we can assume
Kaleesi will ride her favourite, Drogon.
So who will ride Rhaegal? Maybe someone whose
knee doesn't seem to bend easily.
For Clarke, Viserion's death means it "is all the more
crucial" to defeat the Army of the Dead.
"My dragon could not have died for nothing, so this is
now so important," she said.
"For the first time, you're starting to see her
defences broken."
"The biggest question this season for Dany is what
side of the coin she's on," Clarke added.
"The unequivocal nature in choosing to be this
aggressive is something you haven't seen before.
She's practiced patience and has this saviour-like
quality, but now it's game on."
The last episode of series 7 of Game of Thrones will
be available exclusively on Sky Atlantic and TV
streaming service NOW TV on 27 August.
