Today a movie like The Two Towers would cost $200million to film, and people cannot appreciate what a episode of TV just gave us for 10% of that?

It’s not a perfect episode , especially the plot for a show that has often been ruthless, but goddamn that was 80 minutes of incredible visual and aural story telling.

The vast majority of normies loved this shit(minus the dark picture issues). FOH is like an alternate reality where everyone has insane standards for even the most mundane of things. It's why I love this place, but you have to take that into account when reading the opinions here on pretty much any topic.

Saw this vid pop up on my youtubes. Thought it was an interesting theory.
Short version, Cercei has made ALOT of comments on, "I'll die first". Theres imagery of multiple "jumping out windows" suicides. Shes not over Tommen's death yet. She almost mercy killed tommen back in the Battle of blackwater. So, Cercei will suicide when all is lost.


Which makes me think. little brother strangling. No one seems to considering a hanging. I'm on board with that. my prediction is Cercei hangs.
50/50 she does it herself, and 20/% chance some kind of metaphor involving a statue of Tommen or some shit.

I streamed it on a TCL Roku 4k HDR set with the native HBO Go app. I had no issues with visibility or clarity and my set is calibrated correctly at eye level.

I absolutely believe that most people watch TV on a washed out, out of the box Best Buy configured flat screen that they've mounted over their fireplace that's positioned too high. People think that watching something at a 30 degree angle in a brightly lit room is optimal, it's not. Fuck those guys.

I'll agree that it was pretty dark, but this is a completely subjective argument. If the cinematographer, color corrector, and editor say it was to their specifications, then they wanted it that way. Plain and simple. If you had issues with the viewing, it's going to come down to QAM/stream compression, lack of calibration, ambient room luminosity, and viewing angle. Or maybe you're fucking old and getting blind.

Edit: Only true test will be with BD source, but we have to wait for that.

Forget the TV calibrations. Look at some of the pics comparing the stock images with the post-processed ones and tell me the post-processed ones aren't better.

Don't believe I'm arguing this. The whole reason the first scorpion came close to working because it was a surprise. It is easy, or should be, to simply target them and destroy then before they even come into play.

Also why is everyone over looking the odious fact HAVE THE NIGHT KING SLAYER ASSISINATE CERCI!

Still trying to to figure out what the plan is for the last three episodes. Yeah, Cersei has a bigger army, but with 2 dragons they could technically just camp outside of King's Landing and roast anything coming in/out.

I THOUGHT THEY ARE CONSIDERED SCORPIONS IF THEY CAN ONLY FIRE ARROWS/SPEARS WHILE A BALLISTAS CAN FIRE SPEARS OR SHOT

i didn't have issues w/ "too dark" but the dragon fight scenes, maybe i'm getting too old, but did anyone want to vomit watching it? like those super fast cuts and crappy action almost cause nausea.

Usually the only thing that fucks me up is FPS, towards the 30m mark theres like bile in my throat and i feel queesy as shit, but i never had issue w/ shakycam action (the worst kind) before until the shaky dragon fights.

i couldn't even tell what was happening, i think there was some talons and biting involved.

You're getting old. Just wait until slowly spinning in your desk chair to retrieve something out of a drawer requires a full minute of recovery to settle your stomach.

The only part of episode 3 I really liked was the ~60 seconds of watching the Dothraki's flaming swords being extinguished. They did a good job of building dread with that portion...and I'm sure it was easy on the budget.


The night king is a complete swaggering cheese dick, though. I can't find a gif of that little nod thing he did with Bran right before he got ganked, but this was on par
