Kit Harington, who plays Aegon Targaryen aka Jon Snow, said he was not happy with how his character in the live adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s novel series “A Song of Ice and Fire” got written off.
“I think if you asked him, he would’ve felt he got off lightly,” he said in an interview. “At the end of the show when we find him in that cell, he’s preparing to be beheaded and he wants to be. He’s done. The fact he goes to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.”

Kit Harington added: “He’s gotta go back up to the place with all this history and live out his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live out his life thinking about Ygritte dying in his arms, and live out his life thinking about how he hung Olly, and live out his life thinking about all of this trauma, and that…That’s interesting.
“So I think where we leave him at the end of the show, there’s always this feeling of like… I think we wanted some kind of little smile that things are okay. He’s not okay.”
