<p>Kit Harington believes the ending to <strong>Game of Thrones</strong> represents what the show was "really about".</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The ending to the HBO fantasy drama - which concluded its eighth and final season earlier this year - saw Jon Snow kill his aunt and lover Daenerys Targaryen after she destroyed King's Landing with her dragon, and was met with a mixed reaction from fans.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But Kit, who starred as Jon, believes the ending was exactly what the show was all about, because it showed the "dysfunctional family" dynamic between Jon and Daenerys.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He said: "It was said a long time ago, and I agree with it, that 'Thrones' really is about dysfunctional families. It's about mothers, brothers and sisters, but it's also about how far your blood will stretch in your decision-making. That's the ultimate choice Jon is left with. He's faced with someone he loves as his lover - who he is related to - but his loyalty is with the people and the part of the world where his roots are, the people who raised him. </p>

<p>"It's that horrible conflict in a relationship: 'Do I stay or do I go?' We've all been through it at some point ... except this one involves a knife."</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kit says he and Emilia Clarke - who played Daenerys - spent three weeks filming the Mother of Dragons' final scenes. He said that the process was both emotional and tiring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And although Kit thinks the ending was justified, he does admit he was "completely surprised" when he read the script.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said: "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."</p>
