The way the night king died still irks me

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Production values the show is #1.

Cinematography and directing? No where near the top. It was shot fairly pedestrian. I'd put something stuff like "BCS", "Mr. Robot" and "Fargo" leagues above it.

Hell, a few more shows above it too. "The Haunting Of Hill House" ep with several one take shots >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "GOT" as far as camera work and cinematography.

Fred.

The way they shot the battle sequences in an episode like Battle of the b*stards to me was leagues above what I see in most films where it's just a CGI army clashing into each other.

The shows you named are good.. I'd say season 1 of True Detective is probably my favorite as far as cinematography goes.. that neighborhood one shot they did with the biker gang was immense

Yeah the large scale battle scene are pretty much unprecedented in TV history. Or in most films.

I doubt we'll see anything like "GOT" again, at least not for a long time. The closest currently is "The Witcher" but they need to step their budget way the fukk up.

The Witcher had a couple scenes where it looked really good but then other episodes it looked more on the cable Syfy level.. like, it ain't a deal breaker to me but I was taken back by how shoddy some of it looks

How quickly they made Danny evil and killed her irks me.. They shoulda went just one more season and gave us time to hate her

 

[WaveMolecules]

the final season DEVASTATED its all time rank. Really unprecedented .

 

[Duke_Droese]

That anticipation at the start of the season was so electric though. We might never get that feel again.

 

[daemonova]

weakest "event" episodes until that point.

I hate GOT finales but winds of winter is as good as it gets the dragon and the wolf is better but only because it was longer

 

[kdslittlebro]

Most disappointed I’ve ever been with a show I was ready to put it up with The Wire for a min, now I don’t even recommend ppl to watch it if they ask

I caught on that something wasn't right after the first episode, as it was filler. Then the 2nd being a setup episode cemented it for me.

I've done my best to erase it out my memory to avoid getting triggered. Fat boi isn't going to finish the books anyway.

Rr Martin put out a timeline 6 months ago on the next order of books published

Winds of winter
Another dunk and egg book
Another fire and book
Another dunk and egg book
Dream of spring

I don't think they were prepared for how big the budget got on season 1.

They have no excuses for season 2 though. The show is a hit, they need to throw more money at it.

It's been approx. a year and we still don't speak of season 8. Like Star Wars Eps 7-9. Never happened...

I am a huge GOT stan. Read the books 3 times over. The last season of GOT felt so rushed. The falloff was severe. Only show that started hot and fell off more was Lost.

I really think on Lost they had no idea what they were doing. I got the impression that they were just freestyling on the set in the last two seasons.

That is true as well. I haven't even bothered to watch the latest 2 Star Wars movies....

Someone should do a thread on the sequels that are better left not discussed.
