Game of Thrones (season 8)

Good episode. It's a top thirty entry for me, but not quite top twenty. Great entertainment.

That decision, though - we all know what they're talking about - has thrown a tonne of questions into play, and how the last three episodes pan out will determine how that decision will be viewed in retrospect.

It was bold, I'll give them that.

What decision?

It appears that I'm in the minority who really enjoyed it.
Enjoy it for what it is and not what you want it to be, you miserable cunts.

Suggesting it might have been an idea for viewers to be able to see what the fuck is going on is pretty basic.

I watched it again this evening with the lights out and settings enhanced with no issues at all.
I fully understand how difficult it was to see earlier because I originally viewed it in broad daylight.
PS. My "miserable cunts" comment wasn't intended to offend. It was a blokey sort of bar slap to be taken in the jocular tense.
 
Not enough main characters died.
I hope they fight at kings landing during the day so we can see what is going on on our teles!

It's fair to say it's no isolated complaint.

I'm sure the BluRay will look spectacular - but streaming was a disaster, and normal TV in the light barely any better. People having to scramble for the TV settings they've never touched before and haven't needed to is a failure of production - I'm certain the lossless copy they edited looked stunning too.

And yeah I know - don't worry, wasn't bothered by that!

You're right. I'm sorry.
I feel like a traitor now.
 
Bit of a switch from the unpredictability of previous seasons that made it so different.

All the main characters surviving and saving each other in the nick of time. Some of the more fringe kill-off-able characters removed.
Glad I finished so late today and could only watch it at night, as even in the dark it was hard to see what was going on.

A good watch, but hope it gets back to its previous seasons styles in the last half of the season. Will be pretty anti-climatic to have a cliche predictable ending after the prior plot twists.
 
I think this should have been the final battle to end the series rather than the finale now with Cercei. But at least the next battle will be visible in daylight. Expected many more main character deaths, but they will obviously happen in the next battle. Ep3 seemed rushed, could have played out over 2 eps, I don't just mean the fighting, just far too rushed and too much going on.
 
If you are viewing via pc and do not have mpc-hc with madvr i suggest the following...

Open it in vlc, click "Tools>Effects and Filters". Click on the video effects tab and under "essential" and check the box for "Image Adjust". Now raise the gamma slightly and contrast, click save. Enjoy :-)
 
Loved it! Surprised we didn’t have more character deaths. Shead a tear for Lyanna Mormont and Ser Jorah. No idea what happens now. Arya is a fantastic character! Did Gendry survive? Never saw him after seeing him on the ramparts. The hound was also brilliant and another tear for Beric and thought the Red Woman arc was fantastic!

Couldn’t agree more.
