Last week, after the penultimate episode of the final season of “Game of Thrones” — which featured the complete, literal meltdown of Daenarys Targaryen — a fan created a petition to “remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers.” Within a span of 24 hours, the petition had amassed over 200,000 signatures. So now with the final episode in the books, where does the petition stand? It’s topped 1.2 million, and the signatures continue to stream in rapidly.
“David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on,” the petition reads. “This series deserves a final season that makes sense. Subvert my expectations and make it happen, HBO!”
