Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has hit out at that “Game of Thrones” backlash after fans criticized the final series.
The actor, who played Jaime Lannister in the hit show, spoke out while appearing on a panel at the Nashville fan convention “Con of Thrones”.
He said: “We’re so lucky to be part of a show where people… care so much about it that you also get upset when it doesn’t go the way you want it to. And that’s fantastic, and I love it, and I love that there was an online petition to have it rewritten.”

Coster-Waldau went on to defend showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
He insisted, “The only thing I’ll say is that for anyone to imagine or to think that the two creators of this show are not the most passionate, the greatest, the most invested of all, and to for a second think that they didn’t spend the last 10 years thinking about how they were gonna end it, is kinda silly.
“And also know that they too read the comments, and even though you sit on your own and go, ‘F**king stupid writers! A**holes!’ They really, like everyone on ‘Game of Thrones’… and there are thousands, we worked our a**ses off to make the best show we could for the ending.”
Coster-Waldau’s comments come after fans started a petition to remake the final season.
