I believe I now know why the Night King came South, he wanted to take Cersei's hand in marriage. How can Cersei say no to an endless army and Bran's head in an ice bucket served with a bloody raven?

At this point, it is the only logical explanation.

My TV was somewhere between those two extremes, it certainly wasn't as dark as that. But there were times when I was squinting to see what was going on.

Must admit the more I think about the actual plot of this last episode, the more issues arise - which is probably a sign of how much I have looked forward to it - GOT has set a high standard in comparison to many other much more Hollywood formula driven franchises. For example, I got bored with the Marvel stuff long ago - many those movies and stories are basically the same. After you've seen a few, they start blurring into each other, and become dull and repetitive IMO - but GOT is refreshingly unique with a lot of creativity and care taken to try tell a nice complex interesting story. They raised the bar - so I expect more from them.

I wouldn't really worry about some minor movie, or series to the same extent, for example.

If that's what it looked like to everyone complaining then I understand but mine didn't look anything like that either.
That's what I thought too, but I rewatched a couple of scenes on my copy now and it was pretty close to the top video. You adjust in the moment and then your memory plays tricks on you after the fact IMO :)

I watched on HBO Nordic. I've also seen samples from torrented files and it seems the pirated copies are much better quality than what was offered to paid subscribers.

Kinda reminds me of the time I had to download a pirated copy of a game I just bought, but couldn't get to work because of a corrupted DRM disk.

Why would a follower of the Lord of light quote the many face god.. twice?:unsure:


But ...more importantly...why would this said follower of the Lord of Light choose not get naked riding that horse to light up the Dothraki swords!
An opportunity lost in my books.

Jaqen H'ghar said that the red god needs to get the 3 lives back as well. (In the show and the books)
Yeah but followers of the Red God hate all other gods. Remember Melisandre made Stannis burn down the God's Wood
