Or did we? On Game of Thrones, things are rarely what they seem, and with the show’s apocalyptic villain out of the way, it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Kit Harington said that fans have plenty to look forward to in “Episode 804.” There are deaths to more and wounds to heal, and an enemy down south to face.

I have no idea what to expect, but thanks to Harington, I’m getting excited for it:

"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."

Speaking of Shakespeare, is Harington alluding to a Romeo and Juliet ending for Jon Snow and Dany? Oh, our delicate hearts.

“Episode 804” will be about 80-minutes long, nearly as long as “The Long Night,” which is the longest episode in the show’s history. David Nutter, who directed the first two episodes of the season (and “The Rains of Castamere,” FYI) will return to his place behind the camera.

Jon Snow spent most of the Battle of Winterfell up in the air. And while he looked pretty amazing riding a dragon, Harington had a few misgivings:

"I was slightly pissed off I was on a dragon, it stops me from fighting in a crowd. It’s going to look cool but I wanted, in some ways — just as Jon does — to get back down on the ground. 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."

Jon Snow has a case of FOMO, who would have thought?
