There is still drama surrounding Game of Thrones

Apparently some people were not happy with the most recent episode of Games of Thrones. (I am not watching the show but I know there is only one episode left and people want an epic conclusion.) There is apparently an online petition to get the season remade. I am sorry if you are disappointed but this is not a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. (Those were great.) If  you loose interest in a story, you can stop watching.

Years ago there was a survey or study of sports talk radio audiences. I think it said for every 100 people who listen only 5 to 10 people call in and of those 5 to 10, only 1 calls in multiple days a week. I wondered if something similar is going on with audiences of TV shows or movies. For every 100 people who watch a TV show maybe only 5 to 10 sign online petitions about it or comment on internet articles about it.

If HBO gave in and remade season 8 of Game of Thrones (which is highly unlikely), that would be a very bad idea I think. What if they remade it and some fans were still unhappy enough to create another petition asking them to remake season 8? Would HBO remake it again?
