Matt Smith’s playful yet intriguing response ignites speculation among fans, envisioning the Doctor riding a dragon. The idea of the Doctor taming the fiery nature of Daemon Targaryen, may add a delightful twist to the drama. Yet, amidst the excitement of imagining such a crossover, Smith’s words also describe the need for stability in Westeros. In a land where power is wielded with ruthless intent, the Doctor’s arrival may be the only way to bring peace to the realm. Here’s what Matt Smith said:
“I’d definitely think he’d get himself on a dragon at some point. I mean he might even get one back in the TARDIS. I don’t know, I think the Doctor might whip them all into shape to be honest. I’d quite like to see the Doctor sort Daemon Targaryen out. Who knows? But, you know, the Doctor might come in and create his own sense of chaos, I have no doubt.”
Moreover, the idea of the Doctor returning to his time with a dragon, through the TARDIS proves that in the realm of Doctor Who, anything is possible. Whether he seeks to restore balance to the Seven Kingdoms or simply bring more chaos, the Doctor’s presence in Westeros promises an adventure unlike any other. As fans eagerly await the upcoming season of House of the Dragon, one thing remains certain, whether it is Daemon Targaryen or Doctor Who, we can except a brilliant performance from Matt Smith.
