#got crew

By  Kim Renfro September 24, 2019 While Porter was doing his Q&A, the cast of "Game of Thrones" trickled into the press room backstage to wait their turn. Someone must've realized that there was a small stand in the back corner where people could get fancy popsicles, and slowly the stars began coming over.

First, the "Game of Thrones" producer Carolyn Strauss and Carice van Houten (who played Melisandre) came by for frozen treats. Soon Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) joined in. Then Kit Harington (Jon Snow) came over for a popsicle. But by then, the cast was up for their interview, and Harington had to abandon the attempt.

So I saw a post about the panel during ComicCon for Game of Thrones. Along with many of the actors in the show, David and Dan will be on the panel. A lot of people are spreading instructions that they should go and when D&D come out or answer questions, the audience should boo them. I suppose they think this is a way to show that they are unhappy with the show’s ending and want to hold D&D responsible. They might think that because they aren’t booing the cast and the rest of the crew, they aren’t being disrespectful. But that’s just untrue. If you go somewhere, with the intention of being mean to even a select people and not the entire group, then you are disrespecting everyone there.

David and Dan made something you don’t like? Fine. Don’t go! That’s how you show your anger at them. Don’t go to their panel. But to be deliberately malicious is rude to everyone there. It devalues the work that the rest of the cast put so much love and effort in. It makes the people who did enjoy the show uncomfortable. It completely ruins the atmosphere of the event that is meant to celebrate the work. 

If you have questions as to why D&D chose to cut scenes, or why they didn’t put in specific scenes or other relevant questions about how the story went, then ask them. But ask them politely and by being aware that they didn’t even have to come to this panel. They chose to. They chose to answer your questions. If you just attack them, then that will ruin anyone else’s chances and make the fanbase look bad.
