Game Of Thrones: Season 8

‘Kinell could they have filmed that any darker. 90% of the time had no idea dafuq was going on

Either your TV isn't up to scratch or you were watching a bad stream or condensed download.

We had the sun shining through and had to put a blanket over the curtains though - definitely needs a dark room and no reflections when it's a dark episode.

Home from a long shift knackered but had to watch.
Brilliant.
My tv isn't that old nothing fancy mind and the brightness /darkness was fine.

Thought this aswell.. Made for hard viewing

 

[devogue]

That was crap lol

Good battle etc but the writing was terrible.

Loved that episode. Edge of my seat throughout.

Spoiler

I think the darkness was perfect. You never get shown the size of the dead army, all you see is the constant dead pouring in with no end in sight. The gradual building of hopelessness as the main characters become surroundes makes it so tense.
Never thought the entombed in the crypt would burst out, making that one safe haven not so safe.
I just loved how it makes the viewer think there's no way of surviving. The dragons wounded, dead everywhere, reraised dead making it worse.

We've known from season 1 the best way to take out a white walker is with a surprise attack. Especially for the night king who seems to be stronger still, it made sense.

Now Winterfell is in ruins, barely any men left, Jon's claim unresolved with Dany, and Cersei still has her armies + the golden company.

Well they’ve absolutely ballsed this series up right at the last hurdle. Seems to have been written by people who have never read any of the books. Trash TV now.

 

[wainy]

Bit underwhelmed by that tbh.

 

[sbbefc]

Too dark.

 

[edge]

Like it , didnt have any problems with briteness at all .

 

[LocalNative]

Writers clearly forgot their balls going into that episode. A little underwhelming and a tad ridiculous at times.

 

[tsubaki]

Thought that was fantastic, albeit it made very little sense.

Or arguably they've made a decent fist of speeding up the pacing of an often laborious and increasingly self indulgent series of books full of lazy POV inner monologue plot exposition that constantly adds uninteresting plot strands in the mistaken belief that it is somehow clever and not just convoluted.

The TV series is by no means perfect and has gone heavily over to fan service but let's not pretend the books are flawless. And if we were waiting for the author to tell us the tale then they could have shot a certain death scene towards the end in real time.

Absolute rubbish, having the night king built up as this invincible being since day 1 then him getting done in so easily was ridiculous.

there isn’t a book for this part to be fair.
