It is still anybody's game in "Game of Thrones," and who will reign supreme in the show is still anybody's guess. HBO has said that they will probably close it after eight seasons, and Emilia Clarke, the actress who plays Daenerys Targaryen in the series hopes that her character will "win" in the end.
"I'm all about leaving the party when it's still kicking," she told ET Online. "So I think that maybe (season) seven will get split into two, or maybe it will just be straight to eight."
"What I would hope for Dany is that she wins the whole (expletive) thing," Clarke laughingly added. "That she wins, and she wins all of it - and she wins. That's what I think is going to happen!"
"Game of Thrones" has given audiences a lot of characters to hate, such as the self-entitled coward Joffrey Baratheon, mean brother Viserys Targaryen, and even the sadistic Ramsay Bolton. But on the flip side, the show also provided a lot of characters that fans can't help but root for - and one such character is Dany.
"I think I was lucky because in season one, there was such a lovely arc. You saw her as this naïve young girl, and then I was able to find her strength, so there was that development," Clarke explained about her character's growth. "It wasn't as though I was just thrown in and expected to be this strong warrior. And then, with each season, it's just kind of grown and it's kind of wonderful."
Clarke also tried to address the popular fan theory that says at the end of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga, it would be Dany (fire) and Jon Snow (ice) who will rule over the Seven Kingdoms.
"I don't know because it would be like a massive hair-off," she jokingly said. "And I know that he thinks that he has better hair than I do, but I do. So I think it would just turn into a big head and shoulders advert, so I don't know."
"And isn't he dead? Exactly," the actress added.
Kit Harrington's character Jon Snow was unfortunately killed off during the season five finale, after his brothers from the Night's Watch stabbed him to death for forging an alliance with the Wildlings.
Several fans refuse to accept Snow's death, but show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have repeatedly insisted that the character will not be returning for the sixth season.
