If that means it runs out before Chernobyl ends you're just playing yourself.

Game of Thrones fans petition for HBO to remake season 8 following controversial episode

That just makes the whole thing seem even more moot, if it takes so little effort. And in any case, these are people taking time out of their day to sign a petition and write a statement. Less than a minute is downplaying that fact.
If they ever do remake the last two seasons I hope it's only after the remaining books are out so it can be a proper adaptation. From the sound of it Martin's pretty far into TWOW to the point that a release in the next couple years isn't too unlikely. Replace season seven with that. Then hopefully it won't take longer than five or six years to finish the last book. Remake season 8 as an adaptation of it. Full ten episode seasons (or longer). Splice with existing footage as needed. Assuming cast and crew are alive and well there's like a ten year window to make it happen. Hey, Lord of the Rings has extended cuts, The Hobbit was bloated with lots of material that wasn't even in the book and retcons are more common than ever now so it's not like a project like this would be out of the realm of possibility. But I would only care IF the reshot seasons were proper adaptations of the upcoming books.

If you admit it seems moot and takes little effort, then downplaying it rather than framing it as people being riled up seems to be the proper response, right?
My life is fine, I just want to shat on some creators for fun.
I mean, almost everyone that put the name on this stupid petition know HBO not gonna remake anything.
ps. I didn't sign, the show was shit since season 5. (laugh while rolling)
Only if we assume people are just doing it for kicks and not because they're actually upset, which also renders it moot and not worth much.
So what's happening with this? Last I heard it had over 1 million signatures. Has this endeavour been given any follow up, was HBO officially contacted? Was this whole thing just hot air?
It's an online petition forged by people who didn't like the way a TV show ended. It was never going to amount to anything more than just hot air.
I do agree. But with over 1 million signatures, I'm curious to see if the people that started this petition will do something with it.

anyone talk about the actors contracts, location, companies and everything else that goes into shooting these episodes? and if hbo can force them to redo months of filming because 1+million people said so?
i highly doubt many of the actors would drop whatever they have next to reshoot a whole season, they are probably on new contracts. they have a life too.
anyway, this is entertaining none the less lol

They started/signed an online petition. That was the extent of what can be done. It's a fart in the wind, basically.
It was never about actually getting HBO to redo the season — that isn't feasible. It's just a message of negative PR for them and D&D.
Even if those starting it never really believed HBO would redo the season, it's still a petition. There isn't any real message sent yet, and it didn't generate enough bad PR to do any difference. Not even with the handful of articles written about it. Most people already forgot. For it to have any real meaning, the petition needs to be officially sent to HBO. If not, this really amount to nothing, and the whole thing ends up being really childish.
Do what with it? Sending it to HBO is absolutely pointless.
Imagine believing HBO would actually do something.
The checks have already been cashed, I can assure you: They give zero fucks about anyone's petition.

Well, as I said above, the usual next step for any petition is to officially submit it to the people/organization it concerns. There really is no message sent to anyone otherwise, and this whole thing would indeed be very pointless.
The message of dissatisfaction has been received loud and clear by all parties, I'm sure. There's little HBO can do now, though, beyond shelving Confederate (which they've confirmed is on the back burner).
Perhaps this will cause Disney to rein in D&D's input on Star Wars — who knows. Its impact is unknowable right now, and probably forever if you require official statements, which won't happen.
