I think the real problem is that Dany is only written as steely-queen-of-destiny now. Emilia Clarke, for whatever reason, plays it as very detached and it gets real boring after a while.

I'm really sad we don't have Wooly in this thread anymore 
I know it's been kicked around already but his untimely demise really shows the nature of internet message boards. Most people just read posts, few contribute. But then there are the types that contribute in a OCD type fashion and try to articulate convoluted or bizzare narratives related to whichever subject that was at hand.
But Wooly took it to another level. He would be talking shit about that maester in the citadel mentoring Sam while making some kind of link to Wyman Manderly because Wyman is known to not trust maesters due to the measter in White Harbor supposedly being from Lannisport and highlights everything like it was a prophecy.
Sad.

i was hopeful Terminator Genisys put the brakes on her staring roles, but damn she is a main in the Han Solo movie...

The real test will be how long they last after GoT ends. That is typical for a lot of popular TV shows...they get roles while the show is on and popular, then maybe for a time afterwards, until eventually the offers fade for most of them save for bit roles. The exceptions tend to be the really talented or the folks who had a good career before the TV show.
Emilia doesn't strike me as having amazing staying power acting career wise.

You know people have been throwing this nonsense around for years despite the fact that she just did another nude scene last season right?

I thought the story behind that was "it made sense for the character and was a big 'don't fuck with Dany' moment"...so she agreed to do that one. I suppose we'll see if she does any more as she inevitably hooks up again.

Clearly not a body double in Voice from the Stone (unless you think a low budget movie is going to use very good CGI to fake a sex scene...). And, yeah, she denied it was a body double in GoT, too.

I was just thinking Natalie Dormer. She's really interesting to watch onscreen and had the experience. But she may have struggled with the Khal Drogo stuff as far as believability.
Emelia has that tomboy WW2 down with the boys commercial quality, more blocky, strong arms-- I'm not sure Natalie could shake that above-it aristocratic aura she's got going on. Natalie and Tamzin are certainly a step away from what Emelia Clark brought to the role, and that might be the real reason they didn't pursue a Tamzin 2.0 when recasting.
I'll take either over Emelia Clark, and I'd never say no on Dormer. Ever ever.
