Matt Smith really has that charming alien look to him. He's perfect for playing a Targaryen, especially someone as cool and dangerous as Daemon Targaryen.

[Allaiya.]

Matt Smith is perfect casting. I wasn’t sure at first but he does the character so well.

[NormaLilia]

I’m gonna watch it with zero expectations, I don’t want to be let down but if it’s a great series I will spread the word

[chesca]

Matt Smith 😍 loved his kooky self from his Doctor Who days

[Fitsuuu]

Matt Smith is probably like 70% of the reason I am going to atleast give this a try.

[DorothyOzmaLover]

Can't wait and this cast have some serious records that show they'll masterfully carry this new series while making it their own that'll be so epic!

[aurktman]

This has become an excellent show! I'm very happy with it!

[tagboo]

i know nothing about the dragons of hotd but dany's drogon will always be my favorite, even tho it was so young, it was so mature and portrayed that courage and power of firt born child protecting his beloved mother

[nicholasgarrick]

Can't wait for thod show. It's gonna be the biggest!

[charleshan]

first episode is already better than all of S8

[TheCoco]

They really have to understand that we don't care if there are a thousand dragons if the show isn't as well written as GoT was in its heyday.

Matt defo took few lines of yay lmaooo and I love

[ChristopherMarshburn]

Upholding? More like redeeming. And I’m confident they will pull it off.

[noelnaumann]

Yeah what legacy. I have the utmost respect for the GoT cast but what D&D did with the last two seasons was just hilarious. I recently rewatched it and I just stopped after battle of the bastards and made the rest up in my head. HBO knows the backlash they got and they know that’s their one shot to make it up with their audience so I’m at least hopeful and will watch House with an open mind.

[bigbulk]

I didn't want to see it coz of the disaster that GOT was. Anyways opened it just out of curiosity, and I have to say, it is really well made. It feels like the continuation of GOT, effortlessly.

GoT was Emilia Clarkes first tv appearance too

[rsync]

Matt Smith: get me down.
Emilia: try doing this shit for 5 years. .

[miterca]

Hi Nichelle!!! I still remember when you were at Good Day LA!!!❤

[anzuis]

Is that Matt smith from THE MORBIUS movie??!!

[MDCB]

St Michael's Mount will never be the same again!
