This. Absolute garbage tonight. Hey, HBO, don't want me to pirate your ####? Maybe give me a decent quality legal options. Dickheads.

I don’t know what to say but holy #### seems to cover it.

It wasn’t perfect but damn, the stuff they nailed, was so good.

I thought Arya was gonna go all faceless man into a white walker for a minute when the red woman said blue eyes.

Ya, I signed up for Crave, and it looks like Night Trap on the Sega CD. Trying to pay you idiots here, and you can't even provide anything watchable. Ugh.

My ####ty TV is 12 years old, so I thought it just looked ####ty because my TV sucks. Good to know that's not entirely the issue.

If it makes you guys feel any better it only looks marginally better on cable. Nothing comes close to bluray.

Looked great on my tv. I’m watching on the Crave app to my Chromecast Ultra. Just had to close the blinds.

Unfortunately you were right. Snow plus darkness equals compression artifacts for an hour and 22 minutes.

Dark scenes on streaming services usually look like ####.

As for this episode, holy ####. Not exactly the way I was expecting it to go, but pretty intense.

I thought for sure Sansa and Tyrion were going all suicide pact there, but then they just ran? wut?

So is Jorah the only real important character that died?

Lyanna mormont and Beric were the only other notables?

Leeroy Jenkins does the same thing and he gets mocked for years.

There were lots of honourable deaths but Lyanna’s was the most satisfying. A badass to the end.

Such a badass. Her death scene was crushing.

So aside from 2 dragons, the northern army has been decimated. Curious how the Battle for the throne shakes out. And you just know there's going to be some back stabbing in the northern army.

Man, my feed cut out during Arya's running away sequence just as beric saved her butt. Lame. Ah well, will watch entire season again in a binge just to see the full painted canvas.

The one thing nice about Crave tonight is I didn't have any buffering. First two episodes of the season it happened. Like 6 or 7 times in episode one and like 3 times in episode two. Tonight? Nothing.
