Even darkly lit, this ep is running 9.4 on IMDB. Not sure if fans are being heard on the lighting choices. I still think it should be an easy edit, since it's all computer over the original film. Meanwhile, gamma.
Saw an interview with Emma D'arcy yesterday, they is the definition of non-binary.saw an interview with Charlie Hunnam yesterday. He'd be a good fit in a GoT show IMO.

It also had the same cinimatographer. The buck seems to have been passed to a communtiy creative decision. I don't see anyONE person saying "I decided that." I also think some of the whining is over the top. Idiots saying they couldn't see the anything the whole episode. It's a few scenes at worse and nothing that needs to be seen to know what was going on. They weren't hiding anything in the shadows. They were just depicting the natural lighting in which they wanted to scene to take place. How do you brighten up moonlight?Regarding the lighting, can't find the post where someone brought it up, but this last episode had the same director as the GoT episode "The Long Night" which was also heavily criticized for it's lighting choices.
Sounds old, acts old but the character is not old. D'Arcy seems to have gotten ideas for the role from every Queen Victoria been there done that. The younger actor I think would have done better. That was a more unique characterization IMO, I'd like to have seen what Milly Alcock could have done continuing on. A 22 year old could play a 28 year old as well as can a 30 year old.
I think it has to do with there being more future time jumps. We are jumping ahead it looks like another 5 years next week.
There's another actor coming in the role or will they decide this one is old enough to age with make-up and prosthetic? Regardless, I prefered the depiction by Milly Alcock and think that actor would have handled the advance quite well. Not by a whole lot. It just seemed different than every movie about English Queens ever, whereas D'Arcy is just channeling those.
Regarding the other actors. First I was all Matt Smith. As it progresses, Paddy Considine is killing it. He'll probably get the lead nominations and Smith the supporting. I could have done with more Harwin and Laena. I liked those characters but they're both toast now.
They will continue to age up the current actors.
I’m guessing they didn’t think the original actors could be aged up to 40+.
I agree that Milly Alcock at 22 could pull off looking 28, but by next week her character will be about 33 with who knows how many more time jumps left on the series.
Tough to find someone who can convincingly play a 15yr old and 40yr old in the same show.

Depending on one's p.o.v., on the brightside, he is stepping away from the show.
I thought the same things when watching the performance, yes Paddy had a lot of help with the make up crew but I really connected with the character during the course of his run on the show. He didn't have the fun/sexy role but a very important one and I really felt he portrayed well a flawed King just trying to do the right thing while surrounded by bad people playing the game of thrones. I will miss him.Paddy Considine going to be a hard beat at the Emmy's.
He has been absolutely incredible. Each time jump I’ve been worried he had died off as Corlys seemingly did.Paddy Considine going to be a hard beat at the Emmy's.
Have to. Hate the new Aemond’s face though. Long face goofy smirk, he’s annoying to look at. Perfect casting given his personality it seems. How’d he become a giant though?! Towers over everyone in his family except uncle Daemon.So we have to get a Daemon vs Aemond fight, right?

I'd be happy if SOMEONE fought someone instead of lopping off their head from behind. Since the step stones, it's been kind of slow in the personal combat regard.So we have to get a Daemon vs Aemond fight, right?
It will go down as one of the classic, not scripted scenes then.Daemon helping Viserys up the steps to the throne was improvised on set after Paddy Considine accidentally dropped the crown. Ended up being arguably the best part of the episode IMO.
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON: Viserys & Daemon's Emotional Moment Wasn't Actually In The Script
House of the Dragon episode 8 featured a powerful moment between estranged brothers Viserys and Daemon Targaryen, and it's now come to light that actors Matt Smith and Paddy Considine improvised the scene.comicbookmovie.com
