Surprising no one, a special collectors edition bluray set is coming out Dec 3rd. Actually looks kinda cool. No pricing info yet, but I'm always a sucker for these things..

$249. Ehhhhhh

I put it on preorder. I have until december 3rd to change my mind, or see if it the price drops.

WELP. I forgot I had this on order, and I also forgot it was coming next week, and I just got the shipping notice for it Oh well. I was likely going to get it anyways, but the timing of this is really not great after the haul I just put out for black friday stuff. Good thing I didn't go more crazy then I did.

Been binging this. Saw the war with the WWs last night. Then spent today reading this thread for over a hour... lol. Over half this thread is after season 6 ended. Stopped reading this at page 125 until I can finish the show.
Millions of questions but here are a few... When Sam stabbed the WW it exploded. Same as Jon with his sword. Why were they not turning to ice particles in the battle? They even lined the castle walls and spikes with dragon glass.
My cable and TV could not handle the battle at all. The dark layers where all swirling and that what you could see in the light was all fuzzy so that sucked.

 

[IDAFC21]

Yeah that battle was a poorly lit trainwreck. But goddamn you're a trooper. Better late than never!

If you're asking why they exploded from dragon glass and/or valeryian steel earlier in the show, but not later when it counted, the answer is simple. Lazy writing. In my opnion once they got past the books (around season 6) it all started to come off the rails. It was very evident that they couldnt handle the charecters once they didnt have thousands of pages backing them up. The battle was a poor choice by the cinematographer basically. I suspect if you watched it on blu-ray with a large properly calibrated display in a light controlled space it looks amazing. However throw it through a shit ton of compression for a "4k" stream, and onto a smaller not calibrated display like 95% of people who watched it, and its a fucking mess. Throw in some amient light, again like most people watching at home, and its even worse.

Good for you for binging it though! You have at least 5-6 seasons of some GREAT TV

Emilia Clarke says parts of her brain are 'missing' after aneurysms | CNN

Emilia Clarke says she had "the most excruciating pain" after suffering two brain aneurysms, but is grateful for both her recovery and for working on "Game of Thrones" at the time.

Had no idea, she's a great actress even after the events.

Now you can rewatch Game of Thrones in 4K on HBO Max

4K Game of Thrones streaming requires an ad-free plan

www.theverge.com

Game of Thrones in 4K HDR is set to arrive on HBO Max this August. You’ll get to stream all eight seasons with support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, making for a nice way to bide the time before the series premiere of House of the Dragon on August 21st.

Since she enjoyed House of Dragon, I finally got my wife to agree to watch Game of Thrones. Starting S1E1 now.

We've been taking it slow and doing a few episodes here and there. We are halfway through Season 5. Idk if I'm just maybe jaded from how they ended the show, but I'm not as enthusiastic about this show this round as when I watched it live.

There are really good story arcs, but equally as many horrible ones. Some great acting. Some is almost unwatchable. It's odd.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I just finished s5, never seen this before but started watching a couple months ago. Great show so far

 

[Sprayin]

Just finished S6. My god that season was incredible. Absolute peak cinema. They really had something there. That finale was ridiculously good.

 

[Mook]

which one was that?

 

[Sprayin]

which one was that?

S6 finale? That's where Cersei blows up the sept and kills pretty much everyone that matters in Kings Landing (and has an absolute BANGER soundtrack too), mother of tits goes to Westeros, they show that Jon (not exactly explicitly) is a Targ, Jon becomes king in the north, Cersei becomes Queen. Basically showing that this show is going to be awesome in the next couple seasons (before they absolutely fuck it all up).

Whos gonna tell him?

I've seen the show before. I know what happens.

WHEW, you had me worried for a minute.

 

[Sprayin]

WHEW, you had me worried for a minute.

I just was reminded why the final 2 seasons were such a huge let down, because S6 was so good.

For sure one of the best season finales in all of TV history. I’m on s7 ep5 now

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

They couldn’t have cast Tormund more perfectly. “The big woman still here?” ?

 

[Sprayin]

Just watched The Long Night episode. God fucking damnit I'm mad about this all over again. They actually wrote that, read it, decided it was a good idea, then filmed it and actually presented it to people.
