So I'm rewatching GoT from season 1, and it looks great on a 70 in 4k TV. It really is a beautiful shot show. Worth it for that alone.

However, the way they've gradually scaled up the production values since the show took off is really evident when you go back to the first couple seasons. One of the obvious examples is how the Battle of the Whispering Wood had to take place off-screen because of how costly it would be. But I'm noticing other examples, like the royal hunt that consists of Robert and three other characters walking through the woods - with SE6 or SE7 production values we'd see a dozen huntsmen, beaters, dogs, crane shots, etc.

It'll be quite the jarring transition going from watching those early episodes to the spectacular we're going to see on Sunday.
