The story of warring families in the fictional kingdom of Westeros has drawn to a close with ever more bloody battles and favorite characters being killed off. “Season 8 was very disjointed and rushed. Characters were hastily written off and plots became twisted. It was not a good close to a great series!!!,” wrote Marilyn Marnell, one of those signing the petition.
