Harington also said he "cried" when he read his last scene, where Jon Snow heads north of the Wall with the Wildlings. "Seeing him go beyond the Wall back to something true, something honest, something pure with these people he was always told he belongs with—the Free Folk—it felt to me like he was finally free," Harington said. But it sounds like the real thing that got her teary-eyed wasn't exactly Benioff and Weiss's, uh, Emmy-nominated writing or whatever. "What really made me cry was on the paper: 'End of Game of Thrones.'"Well, there you go. Game of Thrones has been over for months at this point, but apparently we're just going to keep talking about the finale forever, or at least until George R.R. Martin finishes those books—so, yeah, forever.I hadn't read the scripts for the final season until the table read. I wanted to hear them around the table, without having read anything first. I sat on a plane next to Emilia on the way to the read-through in Belfast, and she had read them already, and she was like, "Shit, Kit. You are in for some surprises." That piqued my interest. (Laughs.) I didn't realize what was going to happen the whole way through until maybe half a page before Jon kills Dany. I remember my mouth dropping open and looking across the table [at Emilia], who was slowly nodding as I went, "No, no, no!" It was a "holy fuck" moment, pardon my language. Jaw dropping. I was completely surprised by it, even though you can kind of see the path through the season of how it was getting there—and even the previous couple of seasons before that, once you can look back. But it was still a big shock to me.
