Allicent does good crazy eyes acting. She looks stressed as fuck

I found some of the conversations difficult to follow - especially the kids.

 

Sounds like our dinner table every evening.

Really looking forward to how this pans out

 

Spoiler

Alicynt has the biggest dragon and the new littlefinger... and proper Targaryen/Vallaryian kids... I think she's got the upper hand just now

She's literally got

The Hand

on her side too!

I had an epiphany that I'm not invested in a single character in this, and that's probably why I find it such a slog. Impressively produced but with no heart for me, bit of a shame. These latest weeks I've had to go back to the episodes that I killed halfway, bah.

[Sabreman]

Ghastly looking episode for sure. Seemed to me more like a colour depth issue, like Mega-CD FMV:

The funeral

 

They might have taken her out to sea a bit. They just dumped her over the edge like an old sack of spuds.

That sounds exactly like my opinion of the LOTR series on Amazon. 

 

I'm enjoying this on the other hand greatly.

Fuck me, that's unacceptable. Are there no wave monitors on set? Jesus Christ.

Yeah so you can just peer over the edge and see that dead stone face staring up at you on a nice clear day. Brilliant. It's no Riverrun sendoff that's for sure!

I didn’t notice any issues this week and just enjoyed the program. I don’t have a foundation degree in media studies, though. 

[makkuwata]

Do you have eyes?

[JohnC]

I can't take a screenshot from Sky, so a crappy photo will have to suffice. But this is how not dark it looks for me, using the same shot in that very dark picture above. The photo made it a little brighter, but not much.

 

[Timmo]

Yeah, seems like there’s two different versions knocking around.

that's what it looked like on my projector when I cranked the brightness up to 10 (between a scale of -20 to +20.  I normally have it sitting around 0 or so and that's fine for everything else.

[makkuwata]

Which doesn’t fit the scene. It’s supposed to be night. Most others are in bed and they’re taking advantage of the opportunity. If they were having weather trouble I don’t know why they didn’t just change a few lines to make it a daytime scene.

 

The actual released product is either near impossible to see or makes no sense.

[Delargey]

It would be weirder to do that scene in daylight. 

[Girth Certificate]

Made Egon pished on the stairs quite funny. Poor kid he just wants his dick seen to  

[Capwn]

Still not impressed with the dragons in this - or any boat scenes, I'd just ditch dragons and boats if I were making this.

[JohnC]

Well, there goes my script for dragon sea pirates.

That's a particularly bright part of that specific scene.

Later bits have people dressed in black, running over dark bits of earth, in the dark, with no ambient light.

At least that's what I think was happening.

 

(It's noticeably a little clearer in HD, rather than UHD/HDR, and I imagine it's clearer on something that isn't an OLED, which has raised blacks).

 

Photos aren't representative because phones are really good at pulling out and accentuating light. Though the fact my iPhone keeps going into night mode to take a photo of it does tell you something.)

Quick question from me:

 

Spoiler

At the end when the knight and Laenor are rowing away, was that the plan from the start or did they double cross Daemon and Rhaenyra by faking his death?

 

His stern look seems to indicate that they have double crossed but I'm not sure.

 

[Pekoe]

Spoiler

I thought Daemon had provided them with the body that they were going to pass off as a burnt Laenor

 

[Girth Certificate]

Yeah

Spoiler

Daemon killed the guy who actually got burned, it was definitely rhyneara’s plan to fake his death so he could go live in space-Morocco 

I don’t know how his parents will react though, you’d think they’d move against them but maybe fear for the 2 wee girls would prevent it.

[Indy @ S.E.]

ahh fair enough, thanks for the clarification

[scottcr]

Thought it quite funny that

 

Spoiler

Targaryen's kill some poor dude in the temple going about his own business, with hopes for the future... so some royal twat can escape and we're all like.... YAS!!! GO DAEMON YOU DID A GOOD.

 

[Girth Certificate]

The fight among the children was great, properly had menace which they totally failed to capture with Henry Bowers in the recent IT movies. When the 2 wee girls starting laying in the ground and pound I was loling into cabbages. 

 

[SpagMasterSwift]

That bit when the little shite says

Spoiler

forget it mum, not only have I got the top trump dragon but this scar is gonna guarantee me all the pussy! Best day evah!

Awww kids….Daemon is like, I allow it.
