If the backlash is significant enough then all studios take notice. Do I think they would actually remake the season? No of course not that is ridiculous to think that. But I would assume most people who sign realize that's the case as well but it's a way to voice their displeasure. Which if you get 350K votes there are studio heads that are going to read that and about it and keep mental notes on that. Thats not how you get their attention. You get their attention by not watching, cancelling your HBO go's, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre going to feel it. Along with Monday when thousands cancel their HBO subscription. Im one making that call Monday. As a complete package, its pretty powerful. And news outlets have not been kind to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media, imo, is the worst thing on earth, and can absolutely obliterate anyone at anytime regardless of who it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 For those defending D&D... HBO offered them a full season, and even more if they want. They declined. They could of had a full S7, full S8, and even a final S9 if they want. They declined and we get this rushed garbage that feels like a hollywood action flick that hardly makes sense. Or at least doesn’t feel genuine because of how utterly rushed the pacing is. D&D imo wanted to get on to Star Wars. More money and they probably lost passion for Game of Thrones. Basically spit in all of our faces because they wanted “to get the show over with”. I think the only way they will look back at this and learn from their mistakes is if they lose Star Wars. And at this point, I think they might. Disney makes the safest decisions in the world and will not like this negative backlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 @BayRaider They have the same rights as everyone else when it comes to new jobs. I wish they stepped down and someone finished it, but it’s their right to finish their work. HBO could have removed them if they felt it wasn’t going to be good. They didn’t. The show is done. It sucks we aren’t getting the end result we wanted, but it is what it is. I have enjoyed the show tremendously over the past 9 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be one guy out of a million. I worked with a guy who's first job was at a paper mill. He was raising 4 kids and got time and a half every third shift by working 1st shift Monday, 2nd shift Tuesday, and 3rd shift Wednesday. He checked out 2 weeks before his retirement. That's not to say I resented him for it. Great employee, and the only reason I wouldn't hire him again in a heartbeat is because he doesn't need the money and should enjoy his retirement. But he checked out. Everyone does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been the totally opposite experience for me throughout my working life. Also, this is a bad example anyways. None of worked as the head of the top TV show of all time and just rushed and didn’t care about a quality finish and just wanted to rush to their big new movie jobs. If I was the head of GoT I’m definitely giving this beauty it’s proper time and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in the entertainment industry where we gotta display A+ personality/social skills/fun and I’ve never seen someone “stop this” on the way out.
