Warning: Contains spoilers for Game of ThronesSeason 8, episode 5.

Not everybody is loving the final Game of ThronesSeason.

Despite the show having a solid 91 percent rating overall on Rotten Tomatoes, the current season is only rated 73 percent. And the Season 8 audience score is a not-so-good-at-all 44percent.

Obviously it was always going to be tricky to please everyone, and it's worth noting that not all fans feel the same way -- there have been plenty of Reddit threads praising the most recent episode, for instance. But still -- the anger from some corners is undeniable.

In a interview with Insider, Pilou Asbæk (aka the recently deceased Euron Greyjoy) addressed it directly.

"I'm rooting for Dan and David," Asbæk said, referring to showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff. "For them to be happy with what they have created."

He went on to say that he thinks, ultimately, they will be happy.

"I think it will stand the test of time."

"Because right now, people are very angry," Asbæk said. "Some people are very angry and some people are very happy. I think, guys, just ... please. Everyone has done the best work they could, under the circumstances they could, and I think it will stand the test of time."

"Honestly, I swear to God I think that. So I hope Dan and David are going to end up on the throne."

It's a sweet response, but it's worth noting that Asbæk also admits in that interview that he hasn't watched the show since he got a part in it -- so he can only really judge its merits from an insider's perspective.

At this point it feels like the show will stand the test of time regardless. It's already broken ratings records and been hugely successful.

But, whether or not it'll end on a high note is a whole other question.
