I'm sure you'll remember that when Game of Thrones wrapped up for good in May this year, not everyone was happy with the way it ended.
In fact, a petition for the final season to be remade with "competent writers" (the petition's words, not mine) has been signed more than 1.7 million times — and still counting.
In a recent interview with Stellar magazine, Emilia Clarke — who played Daenerys Targaryen for all eight seasons of the show — said she was "heartbroken" over the negative feedback on behalf of the show's creators, David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
But during a new interview on This Morning, Emilia said the backlash was actually "profoundly flattering".
"On every level, it's just profoundly flattering that people genuinely cared that much," she said. "They were with us for that long, and they really, really, truly believed in it."
She also said that while she doesn't read things about herself online, she got the impression that most people were on Daenerys's side in the whole debate.
"I don't think that there's an ending that anyone could've written — no matter how many signatures are on any bit of paper — you just can't," Emilia concluded, "and that is really just so flattering."
