As anyGame of Thronesviewer knows by now, Sundays episode, The Long Night, was too dark.
Or they were calibrated correctly, but the ideal viewing experience is really in a theater.
Or, they were just as dark as they shouldve been, becauserealism.
So we wondered, what if youcouldsee?
What if we lightened some of those images?
What could you see in the battle that maybe you otherwise missed?
Slide on below for a brightened view of some key scenes from The Long Night.
Heres Sansa looking out over the battlements before the White Walkers arrive.
But in a lighter version, you get much more information about the scene.
This is a plot point I missed entirely when I watched the episode on my TV.
I had no idea how he got back to the main action when he showed up later!
Turns out theres a shot where you might see him riding back to the castle!
The lighter image here doesnt dramatically change what you know about events.
Its a skirmish between White Walkers and the Unsullied.
Thanks to the Unsullieds helmets, the only faces you see belong to the White Walkers.
Another plot point made unnecessarily confusing by a lack of decent lighting.
Butdaggers are important on this show, so … which dagger was it?
No way to know, really!
Who knows what this field of mottled blackness might be.
Maybe its … all good guys?
Maybe its a wall?
Maybe its an empty field?
Its the Unsullied trying to protect the retreat of the ground forces from the oncoming wave of White Walkers!
When the image is lightened, though, you’re free to actuallyseethe horde.
you could even see the terror on this poor persons face!
I want more detail!
I want to have seen all their faces crumpling away!
The effect was lovely, and I so wish there were more of it to see.
