"Jason Momoa has admitted that he was blown away when he read the finale of Game of Thrones. Momoa&amp;#039;s character Khal Drogo became the latest major character to be killed off in the fantasy drama, following Sean Bean&amp;#039;s exit in the penultimate episode. Fans who hadn&amp;#039;t read George R.R. Martin&amp;#039;s Ice and Fire books were surprised by both characters&amp;#039; exits from the programme. Speaking about his own reaction at the end of Martin&amp;#039;s first book, Momoa told EW: &amp;quot;I was reading it and I was like: &amp;#039;Holy s**t! F**k, I&amp;#039;m dead!&amp;#039; &amp;quot;When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away. I couldn&amp;#039;t believe it was happening, I had to have that role. I was like, &amp;#039;Nobody is going to take that role from me&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Momoa also urged fans disappointed by his departure to stick with the show into the second season.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s amazing what [George R.R. Martin] sets up,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Here&amp;#039;s your lead characters, you&amp;#039;re supposed to think about them one way, and you hate them, then you love them, and then they&amp;#039;re killed and it&amp;#039;s a whirlwind of emotion.  &amp;quot;All the little kids and even the smallest of characters just grow and grow and grow. He built a beautiful world. I&amp;#039;m bummed I&amp;#039;m not going back. To play Khal Drogo was phenomenal.&amp;quot; Game of Thrones&amp;#039; second season will air in spring 2012 on HBO. The season one finale airs in the UK at 9pm tonight on HBO. &amp;gt; Game of Thrones execs want more battles, direwolves &amp;gt; Game of Thrones deaths are crucial, say execs "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
