Kit Harington was "slightly pissed off" to be a dragon during Game of Thrones' Battle of Winterfell, says next episode is "so Shakespearian"

Entertainment Weekly

“It’s going to look cool but I wanted, in some ways — just as Jon does — to get back down on the ground," Harington tells EW. "The fact he can fly a dragon means he has to but his place is down there amongst the sword swingers. But that whole episode should be mesmerizing.” Harington adds of Sunday's episode: “One of my favorite episodes is 4 because the characters have seemingly got what they needed. The world is safe now. They’re celebrating and saying goodbye to lost friends. But as an audience you’re going, ‘This is only episode 4, something’s going to happen.’ And that’s the cool thing because I think the characters are aware of this as well. There’s something twisted and uncomfortable about it. It’s so Shakespearian.”
