HBO series: House of the Dragon

[dredman1]

I watched it on Amazon Prime on a plasma tv with the lights off and the picture was mostly fine. There was some banding but it wasn’t too dark to see.

always ranking ting with you eh

yeah pictures of your amazon account and passwords or you lie

lol

Amazon Prime Video quality for HBO was actually noticeably better than HBO NOW app - I was surprised

If I have an HBO NOW subscription on my iOS device, can I use that log in to watch HBO on Prime?

Or would I have to get a subscription from Amazon as well?

I was so caught up in trying to avoid Endgame spoilers as I still haven't seen it yet but I ended up in a GoT thread on Reddit yesterday morning that had screen grabs with Missandei's and Mountain scene. Closed thread one time but fack man I kinna knew.

Apparently there is a huge leak of the plot for episodes 4,5 and 6.

All she need is 1 scout. 1 bird. 1 whisper. But jeez she dissapointing me now.

That won’t help her because she is power hungry. She is a cersei in different clothes. She got good advice to rest but no. She wants to waste no time. Her intentions clear as day when telling Jon he to deal with things exactly as she wants. Smh. Can’t wait for her to die.

YESSSS!
now that song is stuck in my head

Apparently the crew forgot a Starbucks cup on the table at Winterfell while shooting Episode 4

The memes are coming

[Dizzy28]

If the lighting was similar to E3 we wouldn't have seen the cup though

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ GoT cinematographer: i know there are exactly the right amount of starbucks cups in the shot bc i shot it

Episode taking a beating...lowest ever (an unprecedented sub 8 score) on IMDB @ 7.3 and 2nd lowest on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics comparing it to a teenage drama — with all the bullin'/breakups and "can you keep a secret" plot devices...

[*$kїđž!™]

Seems like the directors and script writers cant match the skill of the original author...

[hydroep]

Some online discussion has focused on G.R.R. Martin allegedly being forced-out despite the narrative of him remaining on as a consultant. Apparently he "suggested" a 10 season, 10 episode series was necessary to do justice to the story, but HBO and the showrunners had other ideas i.e. after the success of early seasons which were relatively faithful to the books, they realized they could short-change fans (who were already hooked) without affecting viewership - hence the reduced episode count of the later seasons, rushed, implausible, juvenile storylines etc.

The other side of the argument is the author became redundant because he failed to deliver on a promise to finish writing the books so they would have authentic source material to wrap up the story.

The truth probably lies somewhere in-between...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ perhaps. I think it's more the latter.

GoT is a gold mine for HBO. So if they could carry this on for 2 more seasons with more episodes per season they would. It would increase the length of time that subscribers would pay for HBO, since statistics have shown that more people pay for HBO in GoT season and then cancel it. That's why HBO looking at spin-off's, prequel series etc.

Best episode in this season

LOL

[rollingstock]

Very anticlimatic.
The deaths were disappointing except for the hound.

You can tell the storyline is suffering from lack of original grrm material to source from.

Bells...I don't hear any bells...Dracarys

[Dizzy28]

I don't feel Cersei and Jaime dead just yet. What would they fill a 1.5 hour episode next week with if its only the story line with remaining Starks//Targaryens and Lannister?
