Game of Thrones season 8 episode 6[/caption]The HBO fantasy series received an underwhelming reaction after season 8 episode 4, The Last of the Starks, aired. A dissatisfied Game of Thrones fan launched a Change.org petition, urging showrunners to remake the last season. The petition soon went viral and began garnering more and more traffic (especially with many fans annoyed with Daenerys Targaryen's descent into madness in episode 5, titled The Bells).Through a tweet, Stephen stated that he quite liked the finale season and understood Dany's character arc, and thus thought her move of burning down King's Landing to dust was justified.

Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Brandon Stark in the series, termed audience complains "absurd" and "ridiculous". Jacob Anderson, essaying the role of Grey Worm, even said the petition "s**ks", as per reports in Digital Spy.As per the same report, Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart also spoke in defence of Game of Thrones when she pointed out that "TV shows are not fan service".
