Some people on the internet are not happy about the final season of Game of Thrones. They created a petition asking for a remake of Season 8 with new writers. Of course that will never happen. But almost 1.5 million signed the petition, which means it`s getting attention.Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark on the award-winning HBO show, told The New York Times that the petition is `disrespectful` to everyone who worked so hard for so long to make Game of Thrones over the past decade.`All of these petitions and things like that--I think it`s disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season,` she said. `Like 50-something night shoots. So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it`s not what they want to see is just disrespectful.`Turner said she`s not surprised that people got angry on the internet about Game of Thrones.`People always have an idea in their heads of how they want a show to finish, and so when it doesn`t go to their liking, they start to speak up about it and rebel,` she said.The actress added that Game of Thrones has always been a show with `crazy twists and turns,` starting with Season 1, so she doesn`t understand why people got so upset with how the story went in Season 8. `It shouldn`t be such a negative thing for fans. It`s a shock for sure, but I think it`s just because it hasn`t gone their way,` she said.Whatever people thought about Game of Thrones Season 8 and the finale specifically, the show was a massive success for HBO. The finale, `The Iron Throne,` tallied more than 19 million viewers to set a new record for the show and HBO overall.For more on Episode 6, check out the show`s latest coffee cup-style gaffe (this time featuring a pair of water bottles) and a reminder of who was at the council meeting (there were some faces present who we hadn`t seen in years).
