Except the problem wasn’t just darkness; it also leaned very hard on close shots and quick cuts. It was like Michael Bay in the dark.

There’s a thing called the car radio test. Once you’re done mixing a song you listen to it on the cheapest, shittiest speakers imaginable because that’s how most people will hear it. If it still sounds good, you’re gold.

In many peoples’ cases this was 100% an encoding issue. The blacks were these shitty, pixelation-plagued bands of gradients instead of anything looking remotely HD, and the storm clouds were even worse - there were as many pixelation blocks as there were snowflakes! Whenever you’d get anything remotely well-lit and…

I love Tyrion and am sometimes exasperated by the post-Season 4 writing, so here’s my grand defense of him. I think a number of Tyrion’s mistakes in the past few seasons were actually instances of him doing a hard but unglamorous job well, so someone else could ride in with an exciting cinematic closer, times he was…

Out of all the complaints about last night’s episode, Arya slipping into the Godswood wasn’t that surprising. She was trained as an assassin and learned how to be as stealthy as possible. She also knew Winterfell better than anyone so she probably knew how to get there as fast and as quietly as possible.

I watched with closed captions turned on, and in the scene with Jon battling (or trying to avoid) the dragon, the captions said “Viserion roars.”

Once they passed the books it became quite clear that things were going to head in this direction. I made my peace with that last season and as a result have been able to enjoy this season knowing what it is and not under any false pretenses that it is of the same quality story as hopefully some day the books will be.…

Near as I can figure the Children of the Forest sired the Night King long before the Targaryans invaded Westeros.

GRRM has always held Arya as a favorite character so it wouldn’t shock me if this move is true to the future books and the outline they supposedly saw.

where we watching the same show? Theon and his crew defended Bran till the last, literally noone got through up until the night king showed up. that man earned a medal.

That’s unfair. He bought time.  That’s all any of them were really doing.  Putting up a good show so the Night King felt safe going for Bran.

Man, if I wanted to watch bodies just stumble around in bad lighting and a heavy frost I’d watch a Bills game.

So my issue there is, last episode everyone wouldn’t shut up about the crypts, and we all knew they’d be important because all the dead Starks would burst out of their caskets once the Night King did the magic “come at me bro.”  And its fine for something predictable like that to just happen, but then it wound up…

Being fireproof isn’t a Targaryen trait; Viserys didn’t have it. Dany is just special. Like an X-Man.

Fewer.

After a point it became very clear that unless someone took down the NK there was no way the last three episodes would consist of anything besides Cersei high fiving The Mountain and getting Wight-girl Wasted unless some serious deus ex machina shit went down (I’m not savvy enough to say whether or not Arya counts as…

Ayra basically was rolling high tonight and scored a crit success on her Sneak Attack on the Night King

Dr. Seuss atoned for his youthful mistakes. The messages in his books are overwhelmingly positive, tolerant, inclusive, and open minded. Writing them off as “racist propaganda” because of what he did (wrong) for the war effort is bullshit.

My son LOVES Dragonwood!! It surprises me because I have all these games that have so many more components and theme and looks so much nicer on a table and my son is just like “Lets play Dragonwood!!”
