Game of Thrones Season 7

Watch it twice.

I’m not a good actor, I’d need to work on my surprised face.

Is episode 6 quality any good? Or worth waiting for the ‘proper’ one?

1080p perfect sound so better than Sky.

worth waiting for the ‘proper’ one?

Worth waiting till Tuesday to talk about it to give the rest of us a chance.

You could watch it on Monday too but anyone who posts spoilers will be in trouble.

Absolutely. Hate spoilers!

Oh my 6 is quite something.

Tormund/Brienne sexy times?

6 been leaked?

HBO released it on the Spanish network but then took it down.

Apparently HBO Nordic did the same thing as well! D’oh.

cool i shall hunt that out later, ta.

It’s almost like they want people to talk about it to build up the hype.

Nothing actually happened in the last episode though did it? It was either clearing up after the previous episode or manoeuvering in readiness for the next one.

I’m not sure I can wait! 😳

I know I can’t! Fair play to anyone who has the willpower though!!

Is it episode 6 or 6 and 7 spliced togther into one 2hr episode? Hearing mixed reports.

Well, other than more or less confirming Jon isn’t ‘just’ King in the North, and Sam leaving the Citadel and becoming head of his house (although he doesn’t know it).

6 and 7 are both going to be a good bit over an hour each, so I doubt it.

It’s 6.

I only watched it as the only chance I have next week might be Saturday but as that’s no guaranteed it would probably be sometime the week after probably toward the end of that week.

Sam leaving the Citadel and becoming head of his house

except he forsook all that when he took the black, so House Tarly is dead as a dodo!

See you all back here Monday night 8)

Edit: lol HBO Spain.

1080p perfect sound so better than Sky.

Sky is 1080i not P? Sound the same though?

Anyone else listening in 5.1 find this needs turning up higher than anything else I watch (including BluRay etc). Seems mastered very low.

Sky is 1080i not P

Depending on the flags in the stream and the quality of your deinterlacer, 1080i60 can be converted perfectly to 1080p24.

Sky is 1080i not P?

Correct.

Sound the same though?

Seemed flawless.

House Tarly is dead as a dodo!

You know, I think Team Starkgaryan might just be able to pull off resurrecting the family name and granting Sam possession of his pa’s old barn.

1080i60 can be converted perfectly to 1080p24

Er, no. Imperfectly, yes.

Hell of a lot to clear up in a couple of episodes though…how many of the crew venturing North are going to return do ya fink? I’m going with three…but apart from JS, who else?

Sky is 1080i not P?
Correct.

But there are 1080p copies about on t’web. Interesting. Is it noticeably better? The picture quality on GoT doesn’t seem to be as good as it could be – it’s always very dark and you get a bit of banding. I’d assumed the darkness helped them hide the visual effects….

I’m watching on Sky Q and its superb.

I’d assumed the darkness helped them hide the visual effects….

A lot of the dark scenes are interiors, a huge amount of the exterior shots are enhanced in some way and feature digital elements or composites that 99% of viewers are completely oblivious to.

The leaked episode 6 is fake isn’t it? I hope this is just the producers getting revenge on for the last leak, and the real episode 6 airs on Monday as usual. If not then I fear for the remainder of the show.

They’ve spent an awful lot of money & gone to a lot of effort just for lolz in that case, as it looks pretty authentic! Not that anyone would complain if on Monday they’re like, “Naw, this is the real episode!” as that just means even more GoT!

If not then I fear for the remainder of the show.

for what reason?

Er, no. Imperfectly, yes.

Not for this thread, but that is not true. If it’s a film-based source (which GoT is), then any reasonable modern deinterlacer should detect it as such and do reverse 3:2 pulldown with absolutely no difference between 1080i60 and 1080p24

More important for Sky is
a) Adverts. I could never watch anything with adverts interrupting.
b) Bitrate and compression algorithm. They seem to compress more than HBO in the US.
c) Do they tinker with anything. There was a lot of talk about them boosting blacks on the movie channels to look better on many average TVs.

If not then I fear for the remainder of the show.

for what reason? [/quote]It was awful.

Haha fair enough!! Not sat down to watch it yet. Hopefully not as bad as all that!

The leaked episode 6 is fake isn’t it?

HBO released a fake copy? Well it was a very convincing fake.

But there are 1080p copies about on t’web. Interesting. Is it noticeably better?

Well it course depends on the source but when I’ve watched the 1080p versions in the past when I was trying to catch up it Sky took the box set down it was better.

I’ve not noticed banding in sky in the dark scenes that usually comes down to if your TV.

how many of the crew venturing North are going to return do ya fink? I’m going with three…but apart from JS, who else?

JS, the hound and ginger – hes got a big woman to please ….
