Natalia Tena, the British actor who played Osha the wildling in Game of Thrones , was not a fan of how HBOs epic fantasy drama ended.

On the latest episode of Yahoos White Wine Question Time podcast, the 34-year-old said shed enjoyed the shows eighth and final season right up until Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) killed the Night King (Vladimir Furdik).

After that I just didnt understand it, said Tena, whose character had died at the hands of Ramsay Bolton in the sixth season.

The caliber of writing towards the end and the plots and everything that happens and how they wrapped it up compared to any other season, any other bit, it just feels like its been written by different people, Tena noted. It doesnt make sense, for me.

Tena also recalled ranting about the ending to her boyfriend.

I was a few glasses of wine in when I watched it, she recollected. Id binge-watched the whole thing, but I ended up just, my boyfriend had to leave the boat because I was ranting for an hour at him about how much I didnt like it. And then I rang my friend to rant at him.

Its done, Tena added. I dont think Id go as far as petition. I think they had to end it. I dont understand why they made those choices.

A viral Change.org petition calling for the final season to be remade with competent writers has garnered more than 1.7 million signatures.

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss [series creators] have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on, it read. This series deserves a final season that makes sense. Subvert my expectations and make it happen, HBO!

The demand for a do-over was rejected by HBO programming president Casey Bloys at the Television Critics Associations summer press tour in Beverly Hills, California, last month, however.

The petition shows a lot of enthusiasm and passion for the show but it wasnt something we seriously considered, he said. I cant imagine another network would.
