For those of you that survived the Season 5 finale of Game of Thrones, congrats. You now get to analyze it more than you ever need to. So let's start. Full disclosure, we're about to dive into full spoilers here, so if you haven't seen the episode, go right now, watch it, then join us back at KhanFlix...we'll wait.

Still with us? Perfect. So as you know, in one of the most shocking TV moments of the year, Game of Thrones killed off one of its biggest stars on Sunday. Jon Snow, or the bastard of Winterfell, was struck down by men of the Night’s Watch in a harrowing conclusion to the HBO drama’s fifth season

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, actor Kit Harrington discussed the reactions fans had to the gut-wrenching finale, as well as if we'll be seeing the Lord Commander anytime soon.

“I kind of knew it was coming,” Harington said of the finale. “I didn’t read (George R.R. Martin’s novel) ‘A Dance with Dragons.’ But I read the other books and I had heard this is what happens.

"I didn’t realize it would be the final shot of the season and that made it extra special,” the actor said of the bloody mutiny at the end of season five, in which a band of misfits from the Nights Watch stab him to death for being a ‘Traitor’ after joining forces with the enemy outfit the Wildlings

As for whether or not his character his really dead or if there’s a chance his wounds were not fatal and he returns, Harrington said: ‘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.'

The drama’s show runner also confirmed that he was gone: ““Dead is dead,” Weiss told EW.

Speaking of Harrington, however, he’s already begun to turn the page: I’m looking for movies for next year,” he said. “I’m in a very lucky place—I can turn things down and do what I want to do. There’s a couple movies I’m looking at, but I can’t really talk about them yet. I might take a holiday. I might try writing. I’m trying to figure it out.”

When asked what fans of the show should expect for the end of the series, the actor simply replied with “I don’t know how they’re going to finish (it), but I think I’ve gone out on a great season. I think they’ll have to end it with most epic f–k-all battle TV has ever seen.”
