"I dunno, I loved it. I loved how they brought Olly in to be the person who kills me," he said. "I love how the storyline with Thorne was wrapped up. I think it was really well crafted by [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss]. It felt like the right way for it to happen."

When asked whether this was a satisfying ending for his character, or if Jon Snow was destined for greater things, Harrington said that the death was disappointing, but "powerful."

"'Thrones' treats drama as real life. And people die and don't accomplish what we think they're meant to in real life. And I think that's one of the powerful things about 'Thrones.'" he said.
