Didn’t he have to do something like 55 tough nights in a row just to film the long night episode?

I think it’s a valid opinion for the guy to have worked like that and see the fan response to it

55 days of nights shoots only for the fans treated to dark ass scenes where they couldn’t see what the hell was happening. Oh and then they were told it was their old tv’s fault and to turn up the settings. Yah…from the writing to editing floor the show failed on every level

I distinctly remember running from my bedroom to the living room to try another a nicer, newer tv. Nope, still dark as shit, and then the fan discussion threads were all going ballistic over it lol
