Drogo raping Daenerys. This was always a hot button issue but did they ever say they were cutting this? It doesn’t add much to the plot but it’s weird they decide to go back and edit things out a decade later. Especially when hbo regular puts out just as offensive or more offensive stuff all the time.
I started first with the telltale games, completed two seasons, started third today. Haven't watched the show. Got to know about literature content as well.
So my questions, I think TWD is a whole fandom universe which started with comics and stories and there are many people surviving in there, different people. Like many many different groups, and not focused on few people and a single group. When I played first two seasons of the game, I thought Clementine, Lee, Kenny, etc story revolves around these people, and whole fandom is their progress in survival. But when I learnt more about compendiums and other books, there were not anything particular about those characters which I mentioned. I thought everything starts as it was shown in game, and in comics it would be same. That at first there would be Lee and Clementine. But it wasn't like that. So now I think that there are many stories set in this TWD universe and game's episodes were made off of few particular stories out of many that exist. And then show would be like that too, just taking some parts and making up a show. Whereas the real story and characters are very different. That's what mostly happens to shows or movies based on novels or books, they are not the complete version but just few event here and there arranged in a movie. And same is with TWD game and show.
Tell me if I'm wrong with what I said, and I would love to get more precise knowledge. I'm trying to get to know more things and hopefully I'll get the Compendium Vol.1
I had The Long Night and The Bells from season 8 recorded on my DVR back from when these first aired back in 2019. I figured I would rewatch them at some point. Then when House of the Dragon was announced I decided to save the rewatch closer to when that was due to air.
Lo and behold the series premiere was announced for 21 August a short while back. But seeing as how I now had a 4k player I opted to buy season 8 on UHD disc instead. I am very glad I did, it is a top tier release with respect to audio and video.
The most impressive aspect from watching on 4k is seeing how much rich detail and texture is in the costumes. To date I have yet to see any movie in 4k which matches this. Cersei and Daenerys's outfits in particular look amazingly good in every scene but even regular soldiers like the Lannister army, Unsullied and Golden Company and background characters look very impressive in their armour and clothing. In addition to the costumes, being able to see the make-up and character facial expressions in this format is very impressive. This was a show with a loaded cast who knew how to convincingly depict emotion. Cersei's tears, Jon Snow's horror and Arya's shell-shocked panic all come through strongly as Drogon rips through Kings Landing.
In terms of presentation the HDR on 4k really makes the visuals look great and in particular very much helps with The Long Night which looked quite murky and dark in broadcast format. The audio is also excellent. Even in plain Dolby Digital and not Atmos the score and sound effects convincingly swirl around and put you right in the heart of the action.
I thought I would just watch Long Night and The Bells from the season but ended up watching the whole thing.
In any case I will be getting more seasons in UHD and am thinking of getting the complete set to do a rewatch of the entire series.
I love those creepy little moments in the show when the action has toned down and it's just the post-apocalyptic world and the aftermath. What are some of yours?
One of my personal ones, it's actually from Fear The Walking Dead, epsiode 1, around the 39 minute mark, Madison sees a figure in the park, sort of standing/hobbling. Now this is all BEFORE the full-blown outbreak. It just sent a chill up my spine. Imagine seeing one of the earliest walkers and knowing how the world would turn out to be.

I'd love to know your eerie moments in the series.
i wish when lady stark let jamie lannister go she would have atleast crippled him like how he crippled his son. atleast break one of his arms or break a leg or two for both her daughters as payback. but just letting him go like that healthy kinda makes me a little annoyed
(please dont spoil anything in comments for me i really wanna watch this show through & through by myself)
