I was secretly like, 'I wanted to do that!'" "I think I felt like everyone else did, in that it had been set up for a long time, and then I didn't get to do it. "I was a bit pissed off, only because I wanted to kill the Night King!" he said. The Night King's death at the hands of Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) in " The Long Night" was arguably the most surprising moment of the entire series. HBO Shouldn't Jon have killed the Night King? Jon rides north of the Wall with Tormund in the final scene of Season 8. "Instead of being chained and sent to the Wall, it felt like he was set free. To him, Jon felt "finally free" in that scene. When I read it, that bit really made me cry," the actor explained. (All that buzz for nothing?) However, Harington thinks Jon's story couldn't have ended more perfectly. Some viewers were disappointed that Jon's highly theorized Stark-Targaryen heritage didn't ultimately lead to his coronation as the King of the Seven Kingdoms. Did it really make sense for Jon to ride north of the Wall with the Free Folk in the last scene? "At the end of it, it's beyond honor for Jon. That's when he puts the knife in."ĭespite his mixed backgrounds as a Stark and Targaryen, Jon's loyalties ultimately lay with the North. That's where his loyalties lie in the end. But he chooses the people he has grown up with, the people his roots are with, the North. "He choose blood over, well, his other blood. "Jon essentially sees it as Daenerys or Sansa and Arya, and that makes his mind up for him," Harington said. But for Jon, the inner conflict went beyond that. To state the obvious, he had just watched the woman he loves (and his aunt) burn down a city of innocent people and vow to conquer more lands beyond King's Landing. It ultimately took him and Clarke three weeks to film that "highly emotionally charged scene," he revealed.ĭaenerys looks into Jon’s eyes before he stabs her in the HBO So, why did Jon do it? Harington was "completely surprised" by the plot twist but could "kind of see" how the story got there over the last couple seasons. Jaw dropping." If you saw the Game of Thrones documentary, The Last Watch, you were privy to this exact moment as it played out on camera. When he finally reached Dany's murder on the page, it was a "big shock." Harington said, "I remember my mouth dropping open and looking across Emilia at the table, who was slowly nodding as I went, 'No, no, no!' It was a 'holy fuck' moment, pardon my language. You are in for some surprises,'" the actor recalled. Harington didn't read the Season 8 script until the table read in Belfast with the whole cast, so when costar Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) sat next to him on the plane, she basically tortured him about it.

Season seven had seven episodes and season eight will have six, which means Kit is making up to $6,500,000 total. Because $300,000 is clearly NOT ENUFF MONEY, Kit and his fellow “Tier A” cast members renegotiated with HBO and walked away with $500,000 per episode.
