I wasn't playing semantics. You were. I was asking what you meant. If you meant literally or not.
Game Of Thrones: The Sopranos with swords or Dynasty in chainmail?

You are the main Negative Nancy in here.
This has been a very annoying season to watch. And not because of the show but just opinions online in general. This isn't directed at anyone here.
But I just wonder is that because we had an influx of folks binge watching the show recently just to catch up and watch the final season live? Did people really feel a need to be a part of the cool crowd (no pun intended). Even my damn mom watched the season premiere and barely watched the show.
Take Jemele Hill for example. She binged within the past 2 months just to see what the hype was all about. And now she won't shut the fuck up tweeting during the show. Do some people really feel the need to say "I too know that Winter is Coming fellow Game of Thrones fan!" Just a thought.

Niggas start out with a dissenting opinion, get large scale disagreed with, start liking the negative attention, and it turns into trolling.
Defense mechanism when everybody calling you stupid.
Ok. So when did the show ever mention the name or character Azor Ahai
they did. the children of the forest story line.
i have read alot of complaints about this. i didn't have any issues. most people don't calibrate their tv's. i wonder if that had anything to do with it.
even a base model regular tv benefits from calibration.
i really want that 4k with HDR.
that scene was like 5 seconds when they showed them shoving the knife in his chest. Really fam that's it? Tell me this who was the guy? Why did he betray the children?
4k hdr would not make a difference, the episode was shot dark. If you have a new iphone or android device which have some of the best screens on the market it still wont make a difference.
i remember a good portion of an episode dedicated to the children of the forest.
Did you not read the book or watch the show? The children of the forrest fucking kidnapped him and made him into the Night King. He was one of the First Men. He didn't betray them he was one of the men trying to fucking conquer they lands. They made him into the weapon of the Night King to destroy all fucking men in Westerns. The problem arose when they couldn't control the Night King. People keep asking what was his purpose. His purpose was to kill all the living in Westerns which he was made to do. He wasn't made to be a thinker. He was made as a weapon to kill and he was doing that. The magic of the wall is what was keeping him North etc. There is no point in knowing who the man was who was turned into the NK.
Also people keep complaining about how dark the episode was. Thats the fucking point to show when the Night King comes and brings the long night shit ain't gone be pretty. For years the Starks have been saying Winter is Coming yet yawl failed to realized that. The winter brings darkness and death which is what the Night King is. When he rolled in with the the snow and darkness you couldn't see shit! In them conditions man can't exist.
Basically he is the Terminator and Skynet rolled into one
The battle was lacking in the cunning and intelligence and craftyness that goes into a great battle.
Those kind of arguments sound like my wife. "You just don't understand what I am saying!!!" Bullshit, I understand completely. I just disagree. Just because some of us disagree, does not mean that we don't get it. Get off of BGOL and see what the world is saying. There a many people who don't place this episode among the best episodes...many.
I have watched this show from the very beginning. Every episode as they aired. Some of just don't agree with those of you who thought it was a great episode.
This show has had some of the most cunning and crafty scenes in television history; yet, it is my opinion that the long drawn out battle had none of that. About the only thing they strategized on was building a fire trench. They had all the time in the world to build fire hazards and plan a strategy for luring the dead into areas where the dragons could have lit their asses up...but it missed the mark on the strategy of war.
AND the most dangerous weapons they had were the dragons.....everyone had been waiting on this bitch to show up with her dragons....the only chance of winning......DRAGONS....and they spent most of the war flying in the fog....
Shit, Arya could change faces and be other people and damn near be in two places at one time......and they used NONE of that....shit, they didn't even SHOW her sneaking up on the NK....they just showed her all of a sudden in the air.....
These are all valid points and many are making many more valid points.....just because we disagree with ya'll doesn't mean we just don't get it.....it just means we disagree.....

It was. This thread is filled with attention deficit disorder.
yeah? - what did you learn about the children of the forest and the first men in that episode?
look if you read the books- you know a lot of the story is missing....
much of the criticism of the NK and this ep is from book readers that seem to only be now realizing the quality of writing on show declined after the show no longer had the books to draw from.
2 things can be true.... The episode was awesome AND critics complaining about over simplicity of the story - have valid points
GRRM is a procrastinating bastard, and the writers of GoT just don't have his talents
It's been awhile so I dont recall everything from those episodes myself. I dont believe you need much of a back story for the NK either. However, you shouldn't need to read a book to understand the TV show. If that is needed, the TV show failed on some level as an adaptation.
As far as the darkness goes, everyone gets what they were going for and in many peoples opinion it was over kill. It helped to give a better experience, but I still want to see what is happening clearly and not hurt my eyes in the process.
He just enjoys being a troll
why not. they still haven't said who he was.
He was the fucking main villain for like 8 seasons and all we got was a couple second clip backstory. Yes I want a fucking explanation or more detail about who he is.
I have an older 50” Vizio P series 4K with no HDR but lots of dimming zones. I calibrated it by eye using reference still images and video loops when I first got it. The entire episode was clear as a bell and not too dark.
I think many people are using shitty default settings.
Note: I watched the episode again on some $110 HP 24” IPS LCD panels at work and couldn’t see shit no matter what I did to adjust them. Combination of computer/browser/monitor colorspaces and bullshit high-contrast algorithms...
Also many peeps probably had too much ambient light.
most people do not do preventative maintenance on their cars.... same people never calibrate their TVs unless they were lucky enough to have bought the TV from a retailer that includes an AV service/ set it up
keep your tv, the episode was just dark. Look at the battle at Kings Landing that was a battle that took place at night and was well lit for the viewers.
Bran gave her that knife at the exact place that she killed the Night King
I streamed the ep through Xbox on HBONow
on a 60" Sharp LED I bought in 2014... that I calibrated when new using specs I got from an av message board a thread for my model
I have dead pixels/ warm spot but I had no lighting issues -
next time try reading the entire post
Niggas still going back and forth with Florence.. Yall bout the silliest niggas on the internets.
He definitely took them flames like T-1000
