Completed Game Of Thrones (Season 8) [HBO]

[Sirjump]

From IMDB

Seen the first 5 episodes now and must admit it is growing on me. The characters and character development is really great. Not that much action so far but I have a feeling that will change.

Anyone have some views on this series?

Dang, I really need to brush up on my GoT history (need more time to re-watch the entire series...)

"The irony here is that the reason Theon came to Winterfell, and the reason the White Walkers are coming to Winterfell is actually one and the same: both have come back, because of what Theon did in season two, when he took this sacred castle from the family sworn to protect it. "

"But as the story of Jenny from Oldstones and Duncan Targaryen go, it was all for naught as Duncan died tragically in an explosion, where it is thought he and other Targaryens were experimenting with wildfire in an attempt to hatch a stone dragon egg. Could this mean Jon is destined to die in a tragic explosion of wildfire?"

"As we continue discussing prophecies fulfilled, one quick note here is that Arya and Gendry finally giving in to the sexual tension does in a way fulfill a prophecy all the way back from the first episode of the series. In the crypts of Winterfell, King Robert said to Ned Stark: “I have a son. You have a daughter. We’ll join our houses.” The long anticipated Stark-Baratheon marriage may finally come to pass."

So after all the nudity through the whole run of the show I did not want to see Arya in any way disrobed.

Resurrection of the dead theorists
What is in the Crypt at Winterfell?

Amazing episode this week - have to say it hit me harder than Endgame did. The music is really good too

 

[subbuteo]

WOW - Best...episode...ever!!

I am in complete awe of this programme. I would run out of superlatives trying to describe what I have just watched...the tension in the opening minutes alone was like nothing I have seen on TV before and the last segment...simply breathtaking! Agree about the music too - very emotive

That was insane! Edge of my seat the whole time!
It was maybe a little dark and chaotic but I get that was a choice so you would really feel it.

I'm honestly a little shocked more characters didn't die. But man, what an episode! Where do we even go from here? haha

Inside the episode:

Has to be up there as one of the greatest episodes of TV ever made. Stunning.

HELL YEAH!!!

[BluSteel2012]

Anybody else find this near impossible to make out what the hell was going on? Why so dark?

Very disappointing.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Nope, not just me!

That was such a gripping episode. Easily the most intense, epic episode of television that I've ever seen in my life. A lot less characters died than I was expecting, but I'm okay with that. Jon and Dany kicked ass on the dragons, but how about the episode's real MVP?!

Got the Night King with the pointy end!

Where do we even go from here? haha

Inside the episode:

Where to go? Well, there's an evil b*tch hanging out at King's Landing that still needs to be visited by the Targaryens and Starks.

Nope, not just me!

I didn't have a problem with it. I dimmed my lights and shut the curtains and I was able to see. There's been a LOT of shows and movies in history that have been hard to make out in dark scenes... especially in a lit room. It just so happens that the whole episode takes place at night. Sorry to hear that you had trouble watching it.

Holy s***balls... that episode made Battle of the Bastards look like a damn fairy tale. Such a crazy good episode! It puts shows like The Walking Dead to shame IMO.

P.S. @AcIDc0r3

Spoiler

We were right about the Night King "reviving" the dead on the battlefield.

That was one thing I learned a while ago with GoT... it's always best to watch it in complete darkness, since the darker scenes are impossible to make out otherwise.

 

[BluSteel2012]

I watched it in complete darkness and its still impossible to tell who's who in key scenes.

I've never had a problem with GOT dark scenes until this final season. It looks like they've decided to shoot them differently or have a new DOP (probably that same idiot that did Solo!!)

I mean the scenes in the crypt and with Arya in the library (I think) were just ridiculously bad!

Really, eh? For me, I found those two scenes some of the easiest to see. The outdoor stuff was a lot darker. Did you adjust the brightness on your TV?
