Did you find the picture on HouseOfTheDragon too dark on Sunday night? Maybe you should have watched it on Monday morning. tirhakahlove writes
. The screen was so dark, they said, they couldn’t see the looks of pure elation on the face of a niece smashing cheeks with her uncle amid crashing waves on a scenic beach. That’s right, the practice that disgusts us, that repels some from watching the show altogether, is what its viewers want to see the most.
There’s irony there but also a critique. Why was this episode so dark? Vulture critic Kathryn VanArendonk, among the chorus of those who were not feeling the shadowy affair, theorized that this happened because of a day-for-night production that led to an intentional darkening in post. She writes that it looked so bad for
. I would like to add a fourth reason why this episode is so dark and also why we’re so upset about it being so dark: The majority of us are watching it at the wrong time of day.Now I’m biased, obviously, as I think everything that I do is the superior way of doing things, but I decided against checking in on this show the moment it drops. Instead, I choose to catch it Monday mornings with a piping-hot vanilla latte.
So why is this different from the nighttime? I’m very glad I asked. Watching this show when it airs usually means a couple things: The home is dark, so our TVs can’t find additional light to adjust to , and everyone else is watching the show, and likebefore it , it’s still very easy to slip into watching Twitter for live reacts to the episode.
So, yeah, I’d recommend a little bacon-egg-and-cheese with your incest and a couple of lighting adjustments in lieu of, ya know, the production getting it TF together on its end. HBO is coming under fire now, but it’s not like it’s alone.look like they’ve been shot during an eclipse, we’ve had to not just adapt our TV settings but our expectations. That doesn’t mean that the critique isn’t worthy — if a TV show can’t be seen on an actual TV in 2022, that’s a real fucking problem.
