Not upto expectation
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.
HBO did not return a request for comment on the petition.

Too sharp a departure
Some fans thought that was too sharp a departure for Daenerys, who had previously said she wanted to create a better world.
"This is definitely not how it was supposed to go. Daenerys Targaryen has gone rogue," wrote CNN.com's AJ Willingham.

GoT counselling service
"'Game of Thrones' is one of the most popular TV programs of our time, so I'm not surprised that people are devastated it's going to end," Kai Feller, co-founder of Bark.com, said in a statement.
"I think there will be a fair amount of superfans out there who will need to chat with a professional when the show ends."
