00:00Kit Harington is opening up about his feelings concerning the final season of HBO's Game of
00:04Thrones, admitting that mistakes were made. In a new GQ interview ahead of him joining HBO's
00:11industry, the Jon Snow actor says that mistakes were made when creating the ending to the global
00:16phenomena, noting it may have been rushed, but also that there may not have been another option.
00:21I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, it's that we were all so tired,
00:26we couldn't have gone on longer. And so I understand some people thought it was rushed,
00:29and I might agree with them, but I'm not sure there was any alternative. I look at pictures
00:33of me in that final season, and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn't have another season in me."
00:39Regarding the backlash to the series finale episode, Harington replied,
00:43"'Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think there were mistakes made story-wise
00:47toward the end, maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn't quite work.'"
00:51Harington also discussed HBO's shelved Thrones spinoff titled Snow that was in
00:56development for a period of time. While the actor declined to say what the storyline was about,
01:00he recalled when HBO first approached him,
01:03"'My first reaction was no, and then I thought there could be an interesting and
01:06important story about the soldier after the war. I felt that there might be something left to say
01:11and a story left to tell in a pretty limited way. We spent a couple of years back and forth
01:16developing it, and it just didn't — nothing got us excited enough. In the end, I kind of backed
01:20out and said, I think if we push this any further and keep developing it, we could end up with
01:25something that's not good. And that's the last thing we all want.'"
