'Game of Thrones' Finale: Kit Harington on That Epic Episode

— -- SPOILER ALERT!

So, Sunday night a major character met his demise as Olly, the same kid who shot Ygritte in the heart with an arrow, finished off another major character -- maybe the biggest yet.

After returning to Castle Black, Jon Snow was hated by his fellow men for risking their lives for the Wildlings. At the end, Snow was tricked into coming out back and got stabbed multiple times, while members of the Night's Watch said "For the Watch" over and over again.

Olly, who killed his love last season, finished Snow off because it was the Wildlings who killed the boy's family in the past. His hatred has been brewing for some time.

So, Entertainment Weekly spoke to Kit Harington, who plays Snow, about the apparent death.

"Like every season, you read something in the script and go, 'Oh f---.' I kind of knew it was coming," the actor said. "I didn’t realize it would be the final shot of the season and that made it extra special. It’s always kind of nice really when you’re the last thing that happens in that episode. I dunno, I loved it. I loved how they brought Olly in to be the person who kills me."

Harington, 28, said only looking at the big picture and not paying attention to his people is what got him killed.

"His major fault is a bit like Ned’s in that when trying to do the right thing he wasn’t observing the people around him. He had blinders on," he said.

Harington also clarified that he's really dead.

"I had a sit-down with Dan and David, we did the Tony Soprano walk [letting an actor know they’re being whacked]. And they said, 'Look, you’re gone, it’s done,'" he added. "I’ve been told I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m not coming back next season. So that’s all I can tell you, really."

Showrunner Dan Weiss also spoke to the magazine and cleared things up, in case anyone was confused.

“Dead is dead," Weiss said. "It should be pretty clear what happens in by the time you’re done seeing that scene. It’s not an, ‘Oh what just happened scene?'"
