Kit Harington said in a new interview with British GQ that it wouldn't have been possible to continue "Game of Thrones" after eight seasons because the cast was "so fucking tired." The hit HBO series ended with a shortened final season (just six episodes compared to the usual 10) that angered fans, many of whom criticized the rushed pacing. Harington, who played Jon Snow, doesn't necessarily disagree with the critics, though he knows he couldn't possibly muster the strength to make more "Thrones."

"I think if there was one thing wrong with the end of 'Thrones,' it was that we were all so fucking tired, we couldn't have gone on any longer," Harington said. "And so I understand that some people thought it was rushed, and I might agree with them. But I'm not sure there was an alternative. I look at pictures of myself in that last season and I look exhausted. I look exhausted. I didn't have another season in me."

Harington added that "everyone is entitled to their opinion" regarding the controversial finale, adding: "I think there were mistakes made, story-wise, towards the end maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn't quite work."
