As a movie reviewer who’s spent countless hours huddled around the hearth of Westeros, I can’t help but feel a kinship with the noble and stoic Kristian Nairn, the man behind Hodor. Five years after the finale of Game of Thrones, his words echo through the halls of Winterfell like the tolling of a bell – a beacon for those who understand that this world is not black and white but an intricate tapestry of shades of grey.
Five years since its debut, the eighth and concluding season of “Game of Thrones” continues to spark division among fans, yet another original cast member has voiced support for the contentious finale. Kristian Nairn, who portrayed Hodor in the hit HBO series derived from George R.R. Martin’s novels, was with the show from its onset, serving loyally as House Stark and Bran’s devoted servant, often referred to as “The Three Eyed Raven.” Since Hodor didn’t live long enough to feature in the final season, Nairn watched the series finale as any other viewer would. However, he remains steadfast in his approval of the show’s debatable ending.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Kristian Nairn expressed his thoughts on the series finale. Unlike many fans who were disappointed with Daenerys’ transformation into a villain in the final episodes of Game of Thrones, Nairn had anticipated this development and was surprised by the intense negative reaction to it. He stated that he found it plausible.
As a devoted fan, let me express my feelings about the ending. It wasn’t flawless, I acknowledge that. But remember, I’m not a scriptwriter, and neither is the vast majority of us viewers. So when the response didn’t meet my expectations, it was certainly disappointing. However, I can’t take responsibility for it because, well, I’ve been gone for quite some time now…
No matter how Game of Thrones might have concluded, Kristian Nairn feels certain that any ending would have left some fans displeased. Given that every fan has their unique ideas, anticipations, and aspirations about the storyline, it was always a challenge to satisfy everyone’s preferences. As he put it:
In the grand tapestry of television history, I can confidently say that few shows have ignited such fervent attachment among viewers as Game of Thrones. The characters we’ve come to know and love, particularly Daenerys Targaryen, have become a part of our collective imagination. Each fan has their own vision of how her story would conclude, and when the narrative veered dramatically away from these personal predictions, it was bound to ruffle some feathers.
Kristian Nairn Believes House of the Dragon Has Learned From GOT’s Mistakes
Fans of “Game of Thrones” had been waiting for quite some time following the finale, but HBO’s initial spin-off series, “House of the Dragon,” successfully reignited excitement for the franchise. Although Season One was extremely popular, the latest season received criticism from some viewers for moving too slowly. Nairn has defended Season 2 of “House of the Dragon,” urging fans to exhibit more patience in order to witness the dragons eventually clashing in a full-scale war, as it took almost a decade for such an event to occur in “Game of Thrones.” He stated:
Just like with House of Dragons, they’re doing something comparable, and everyone is eagerly anticipating the dragon battles. I can’t help but urge caution. While it might take another 20 years for this series, remember, it could potentially air in the next season – who knows?
Fans can hardly contain their excitement for Season 3 of “House of the Dragon.” In the interim, fans of “Game of Thrones” will have another spin-off series to sink their teeth into – “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” which focuses on a smaller narrative within Westeros and follows the journey of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) as he attends an exclusive tournament. Moreover, additional Game of Thrones spin-offs may be produced if viewers continue to show interest. However, it’s unlikely that a Jon Snow series will materialize in the near future.
