Additionally, those who watched the series finale were asked to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being “very poor” and 10 being “very good.” On average, the fans gave the episode a rating of 6.43.
The final season of “Game of Thrones” drew lots of attention, not only for gaffes involving modern drinkware being left on screen, but also for what some fans deemed as poor writing and disappointing resolutions to beloved characters’ storylines. Some viewers even went as far as to create a Change.org petition calling for the entire final season to be remade after “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, according to the petition, proved “themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on.” As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, the petition had over 1.4 million signatures.
Sophie Turner, who played the role of Sansa Stark, told The New York Times that she wasn’t surprised by the backlash.
“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, adding that the online petition was “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.”
