The third episode of Game of Thrones season 8 aired today. While most fans agree that the end of the episode was truly the most awesome, all viewers agree that there was something unimaginable wrong with the picture settings of this one. So, this episode was all about the Battle of Winterfell. Armies from across the seven kingdoms joined hands with Winterfell to fight off the Night King and his army of the dead. This was the moment that the past seven seasons had been building up to. But the payout was too dark. By that, we don't mean the thematically. The scenes throughout the third episode were too dark and blurry to see anything. Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3: These Facts About the Filming of 'Battle of Winterfell' Will Blow Your Mind.
Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3 barely showed us anything clearly. This comes as surprising since there have been many battles in the past when everything happening on the screen was very visible. Remember the Battle of the Bastards? It was pretty well lit. Remember the first time Jon Snow killed a White Walker? That scene was also crystal clear. But the latest GoT episode would keep you struggling with the brightness and contrast settings of your screen.

Twitterati was also enraged by just how dimly lit Battle of Winterfell was:
Game of thrones writers “if we set the battle at night the viewers aren’t gonna be able to see fuck all which means our budget is less” #GOT

So, as you can see this episode of Game of Thrones will go down in history for many reasons. For one, the end of this episode was freaking awesome. And, of course, for the fact that next to no one has an idea what exactly happened on this one. Most of us have still not watched the episode, despite having watched it.
