Is it Steller? Maybe not. But just look around at the alternatives. I think it has something to offer. But I get it. If you don't like it tune out. I do that on many shows. I don't like that others rave about and just leave it at that.

Dwill104Well, the show got to where it was obviously going to go, but it saw a pretty slow episode to get there, especially the first half. Hopefully we get the dragon war we all want to see sooner than later. I guess the old saying is true. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
Lots of complaints about parts of the episode being too dark, so be prepared.

PrefontaineMaybe Rhaneyrs will masturbate in the window with her uncle and the whole show will be complete.

Dwill104Have to wonder how incompetent the house guards are this show. They never seem to be around, or show up very late, or if they are around never seem to stop anything or protect anyone. Aside from not showing up until the end of the kid fight, they don’t show up until a body thrown in a fireplace has time to be completely burned beyond recognition, even though a servant ran to get them as soon the fight started.

Of course not every program is for everybody, and it seems the GOT devotees are having a problem with HOD. Me, I'm liking it as it sets up the pre GOT goings on. Much like BCS and BB. Both done in the earlier time period which I really liked. And their are lots of dragons. I'm not here to sell it, but I'm tuning in and if others don't, well okay.

KevinCWCouldn't tell if the last episode was good or not, it was so dark on screen that I couldn't tell what was going on.
Like, filmed that way. Very off putting.

Batty67I thought the last episode was the best one of the season so far. Truly. And I'm no GoT fanboy or apologist. I'm definitely in, and damn Matt Smith can act.

GibbI'm on the fence with this series... some of the acting is phenomenal, but the script is much more 'political' than action, and it's just not what I was hoping for.
I'll probably stick out the remaining episodes, but if it doesn't liven up, I probably wouldn't watch it next season.

Read that a few times now but I had no issues. But I do have panels that do inky blacks and a light controlled room.

I'm there also and I'm a huge GOT fan.
Its not bad and I know it's setting up before GOT with the characters but it feels forced sometimes.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

That bugger the crap out of me too. It was the 70's style of shooting in daylight, but slap a dark filter on the lens to make it look like night. A few scenes the sun was clearly reflecting off Rheyana's hair. One would think after all the criticism of the Battle of Winterfel episode they would approach filming night scenes better.

0-0Basically, as we wait for something of relevance to happen on the last season episode, we can consider the rest the longest teaser EVAH!
I’m so unimpressed.

I guess it's our crappy speakers. Movies & series like HoD are especially difficult. We keep CC on for such shows, and I've started using my Airpod Pros with noise cancelation on and it makes a world of difference.
