Game of Throne star Emilia Clarke has opened up on the HBO epic, and how she was left annoyed by Jon Snow’s ending.
Cast your minds back to season nine, which saw her character Daenerys Targaryen transform into a mad queen and strike down King’s Landing, killing thousands of innocent people.
The twist of events came as a huge shock to fans, which ultimately ended in the Mother of Dragon’s death, seeing Jon Snow (Kit Harington) plunge a knife into her chest.
He was then faced with being executed for the murder, however, the new ruler of the seven kingdoms Bran Stark took pity on his half brother and ended up saving his life by sentencing him to the Night’s Watch.
And it seems Emilia still holds a grudge for her character’s lover not getting the punishment he deserved.
When chatting with The Times, the 33-year-old said of Daenerys: ‘Yeah, I felt for her. I really felt for her.’
She then turned her attention to Jon Snow’s ending, adding: ‘And yeah, was I annoyed that Jon Snow didn’t have to deal with something? He got away with murder – literally.’
The actress recently spoke about life after Game of Thrones, and how she now feels free to further explore her career.
‘It’s been really nice. I think my brain and my soul probably needed a bit of a break from it because it just kept going and getting bigger, and bigger and bigger,’ she told Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show on Tuesday.
‘I could never quite see what it was because we were in it. I always used to say that it was like we all just got in this bunker for 10 years and then came out and was like, “Where are we? What’s happened?”
‘So it feels very freeing to be free literally from the show. That being said, Daenerys is very much a part of me.’
Emilia went on to recall recent advice from a producer, who said that ‘an actor is the character’s best lawyer’, which resonated with the actress as she would constantly defend Daenerys’ controversial character development in later episodes.
‘For everything that happened,’ she said: ‘I was literally like, “But here’s why, this is what my girl [means].”‘
Game of Thrones is available to stream on NOW TV.
