Game of Thrones

True. I thought me saying possibly kind of gave that impression but maybe I need to make it more clear for you simple ones :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not.

The internet is awash with speculation about who lives and who dies. I think the producers have a pretty tight lid on the outcome of the series and I’d be very surprised if spoilers where leaked at this point.

I love reading the various fan theories about how the story will be tied up. I just want it to make sense and not be disappointed by the ending as I have been with other big shows I’ve invested time in- Dexter, Lost, The Sopranos.

I’ve become impatient about the outcome and find I’m having to watch episodes twice to get full enjoyment. I find it was a lot easier to get into when i watched the first several series in a short time frame but I’m too scared to wait and watch series eight all at once because I know the conclusion won’t be as enjoyable if I’m not watching along with the rest of the world.

Issac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) has arrived in Sydney for a scheduled promotional tour for the final season.

EDIT: Pete Helliar did an interview with Isaac which will air on The Project tonight (April 29).

I enjoyed the masterpiece that was season six’s “Battle of the Bastards” more. I rank it as one of the greatest, most gripping episodes of a television series I have ever watched . It helped my enjoyment that the action took place during daylight and they drew on historic battles as inspiration for many of the scenes.

It probably didn’t help that I watched last night when I was tired and my concentration level was low. The length of the episode and the darkness detracted from my enjoyment. I still found it intense and exciting but I had an inkling about who would save the day when I saw an HBO sanctioned description of the episode. Perhaps I need to watch it again.

I’m hoping the finale will come close to the quality of “Battle of the Bastards” and it will be as satisfying. I’ve always preferred the Kings Landing thread of the story more than the Night King strand.

I always think the battle episodes are not as strong as the rest of the series but I know a lot people are really into that sort of stuff. I find it quite unrealistic when the major characters get completely surrounded by the enemy, again and again. It really does seem like it would be impossible for them to survive, yet somehow they manage to survive. That happened so many time in this episode.

yes there was backlash coz how dark the episode was ie it was shot in the dark hence people calming there couldn’t see keyparts

The GoT cinematographer says the latest episode wasn’t too dark - “A lot of the problem is that a lot of people don’t know how to tune their TVs properly,” :roll_eyes:

i had to turn my brightness way up to see some parts but other wise its was a fantastic episode

Yeah it was slightly too dark. But I also turned the brightness up. It was fine once I did that.

I didn’t have problems with it apart from the quality of Foxtel Now being absolute shit, which made all the dark scenes look appauling.

I really thought that episode was going to be a filler episode. But it was jammed pack. What a great episode. 2 more to go :frowning:

A Foxtel spokesman said that the company did not own any rights to license the FOX Showcase channel for public or exhibition broadcast.


Oops, someone left a coffee cup and it was included in the final edit.
