'Not Fade Away'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I mean, who could actually see it?
I had all my lights out and I still couldn't make out what was happening half the time.
I hold that the lighting for this show and the sounds at times too has consistently been AWFUL.
Also, despite all the arguments about dragons, they ended up being kinda useless? I mean, I know the Night King threw up some fog or whatever, but couldn't Jon and Dany have had their dragons spit out some fire in the vague vicinity of the undead army BEFORE they breached the defenses?
That was a physically grueling episode of TV. I have a headache from squinting, my shoulders are still up around my ears, and my heart is still pounding.
That was difficult to watch. I mean, actually, literally difficult to watch.
So are we now just back to normal GoT. Dany heads to try and take the throne and Arya is back n her quest to kill people?
The important things are, Jaime and Brienne are alive, Jon was kinda useless, Arya is FUCKING BADASS OMG, and I now kinda ship Sansa/Tyrion. Seems about the right order of things.
Do we spoiler font here for the current episode? I can't remember. EDIT: right, we don't!
I agree with everyone about the lighting issues for this episode, but I'm willing to forgive all because HOLY FUCKING SHIT ARYA TICKYBOX STARK KILLED THE FUCKING NIGHT KING AND WON THE WAR AGAINST THE DEAD!
(Remember, Maisie Williams looks uncannily like Princess Tickybox. Which is pretty much the reason Arya is my forever fave.)
You know, what got the Night King in the end was the stop-and-gloat, otherwise Arya couldn't have gotten there in time.
(AND I called Arya offing the Night King!!!! Well, except for "A girl is not a man" but I thought it REALLY LOUD, okay?)
Good death, Theon. Go you, Alfie Allen, bringing the pathos that the moment truly deserved.
(I also watched with the lights out, and still couldn't make out everything. Maybe if I had an HD TV? I wonder if it will be better on DVD. )
