I've watched most of the episodes on my own TV (old Panasonic plasma) with all the lights off and all the dark scenes have looked fine. I didn't understand what everyone was complaining about.redline248 said:

Watched the last ep at a friends house (he has a cheapo TCL), and holy crap... It's borderline unwatchable on TV's that don't handle dark scenes very well. Even the scenes that aren't dark don't look very good.
I will say it's probably easier to adapt full length novels (in terms of speed of production, not necessarily overall level of difficulty). HBO basically had a detailed script all set for the first 4-5 seasons that expedited the writing process. HotD obviously has an outline of where the plot is going but definitely gonna take more work than basically lifting dialogue straight off a page haha.TCTTS said:

Coming back to this question and something that happened earlier in the episode. At least I believe this is what happened, as I haven't gone back to check.mazzag said:canadiaggie said:mazzag said:
Dumb question. Whose house was burning?
White Worm/Lady Mysaria
I thought so. Thank you. Done by Larys for Alicient?
Before the arson, there was a scene in which common folk were getting locked up. It looked like one of the people locked up was Alicent's attendant, who was one of the few who knew about the king's death. I took that to be all of the people who could possibly know about the king's death were being corralled. And then Larys walks by the cell.
If I remember that right, is that what was burning later on? Larys was taking out all of the spies around Alicent as he mentioned during the onlyfans scene. So it wasn't necessarily white worm who was killed, but her spies / the leakers?
I took it that he got all the information he needed about the spy ring from all the servants they rounded up, then he eliminated it from the top down.MASAXET said:Coming back to this question and something that happened earlier in the episode.

Also, he wanted only his spies in place, not spies from a previous regime.Belton Ag said:I took it that he got all the information he needed about the spy ring from all the servants they rounded up, then he eliminated it from the top down.MASAXET said:Coming back to this question and something that happened earlier in the episode.

It was Mysaria's place that was being burned down.
I think this is correct. But i think that cell/dungeon is within the Red KeepMASAXET said:

He made a comment, "If you want to kill a spider, you have to take out it's head", or something along those lines. I took that to mean he was going after Mysaria/the White Worm, and that was her place that was torched.Quote:

Thanks, all - that all makes sense
I think the comment was about killing the queen bee, because he then apologized for the analogyboy09 said:I think this is correct. But i think that cell/dungeon is within the Red KeepMASAXET said:

You're right. He was rambling about spiders and webs the whole conversation and then just completely flips metaphors with "Without a Queen, the bees fly without purpose." Keep it consistent, man..
Or maybe make the analogy about worms?

I hope Mysaria is dead if only because I can't stand that accent she does.

Was that the stupid Jamaican accent? Yeah, that was terrible. Make sure she's dead.
Yeah? Well, when was the last novel you wrote? These things don't just write themselves, you know. Now, if you don't mind, Gardner just IM'ed me about a new Wild Cards anthology he's working on.

Sorry for the huge photo - did it on mobile and have no clue how to resize.
Put me in the camp though of not wanting to hear that accent again - lol. Are we to assume she died in the fire or is that still hanging out there?

Its not her actual accent, right?

No, I think she has a posh British accent IRL
Best scene in that movie
I thought Devs was great! She wasn't necessarily the best one in it, but she isn't bad. I do wish they'd have gone with a different accent here though…

This. I've been watching it on my Panasonic plasma and it looks great. I watched this last episode at my niece's home on a newer "nicer" tv and it looks horrible. I wanted to go into the settings and change things up, but didn't want to be that guy. It was just a different feel, and very distracting to have everything so "on set" looking.boy09 said:I've watched most of the episodes on my own TV (old Panasonic plasma) with all the lights off and all the dark scenes have looked fine.

I rewatched it when I got home. It interesting how you notice things the second watch. Like when Alicent's handmaid lit the candles in the window to let the white worm know the king had died.. I was a little disappointed with this episode. It seemed to be just taking up time. The whole episode was looking for Aegon. We already knew he didn't want to be King (although once it happened, he seemed pretty stoked), and that he was a little pervert. I never got the whole Alicent vs the Hand getting to him first. It would have made sense if one side wanted to kill him and replace him with Aemon. They both will have their chance to influence his actions regardless of who found him first.
