I will say that the casting of Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen worries me, though. That's...not what I have ever envisioned. But if you want a Viserys type character there, I guess he works. And if that's the direction they take the character then I guess it COULD be 'can a woman rule'?

It's just that Daemon is NOT a Viserys type character. He's pretty much a badass. Sort of a cross between Littlefinger and Arthur Dayne.

It's hard to explain my issues here without spoiling essentially the whole series here, but again - that trailer feels REALLY sideways to me.
It's gong to have to focus on the first Blackfyre rebellion to make any of it worth watching. There's no doubt they'll put an element of that can a female sit the iron throne bit. It would be hugely helpful to get the whole Daemon back story but that guy is a really odd choice to cast. He looks sickly and totally unlike some swashbuckling badass that Daemon was supposed to be.
