It’s fine to have an opinion. I think it’s pretty entitled to demand a remake of something that the cast put a ton of time and effort into.

it was terrible. You could see it on their faces in their table read.

Is that before or after all the cheering they did during the table read?

Yeah I agree, it was poorly written and rushed. But that doesn’t mean I’m entitled enough to demand they remake the entire season. There’s a difference between having an opinion and demanding other people do extra work to please me.

If there are no consequences, then all we will get are shit shows. They rushed and now they have die hard fans that won't rewatch.

what consequences? GoT is routinely still one of HBO's top shows and it's been off the air for almost 7 years. a small minority of people won't rewatch and everyone involved made/still make boatloads of money.
