GoT Season Seven

And for whats it worth, I don't like Silicon Valley more than GOT. Silicon Valley is a show I enjoy. Game of Thrones is a show I look forward to. There aren't many of those.

Your words. Silicon Valley is inching upwards when comparing HBO shows to GoT. Not mine.

I think the show is hilarious. I can't say I am shocked that you and I have different tastes.

Never seen OZ. Leftovers S1 sucks but 2 and 3 were very good and possibly great. You can probably watch 2 episodes of Curb and realize if you love it or hate it. Funny about the Sopranos, I have tried to get into to it on several occasions and haven't been able to. You are one of the few I have seen who wasn't impressed. But it also took me 3 attempts to get into BB, which I ended up loving.

Not a huge Sopranos guy either. I enjoyed it to a degree, but I don't think I finished.

Not sure how The Leftovers is getting thrown around in here. Not good.

I imagine lots of people say they love The Sopranos because everyone else says how great it allegedly is.

Then again again, I believe this was also around the time I watched Breaking Bad for the first time through, and I wasn't nearly as miffed; it wasn't a chore to get through. I will also say here that I am one who was also not completely blown away by Breaking Bad either
Expand ...

I think one of the main reasons people like it so much, is it was one of the first 'edgy' TV series, a harbinger of the modern TV era. Oz was there too, but not as gripping for the masses...perhaps too serious.

Not a big Breaking Bad guy either. I watched it, enjoyed it, but it was more like TV crack, than an amazing meal.

Ha. To each his own. The one TV critic who I actually respect and follow is Alan Sepinwall. He has The Leftovers as an all-time great and I had to listen to him rave throughout S1 when I couldn't even get through it. S2 hooked me in though. S3 was interesting, at least.

That doesn't make your point any more salient. It's not in the same Top 300 all time with GoT.
 
Jamie kills Cersei. Hound kills Gregor. Adub whines.

This has been my contention for ages. I thought he would also become The Queenslayer.

But after the Queen of Thornes death scene-- QOT: you love her. you really do love her. You poor fool. she'll be the end of you. Jaime: Possibly--I'm pulling my bet from the table.

Cersei lays a trap for Danny AND Tyrion despite her word to Jamie. Jamie learns she ain't preggers. Cersei springs trap, maybe imprisoning Jaime too because she decides Jaime betrays her when he speaks up. Hound intervenes to save Danny and Tyrion, maybe because he gets ensnared too, killing Gregor in the process with fire. Jamie tries to save Tyrion and either directly or indirectly kills Cersei. Season's over.

I'm not trying to rank my top 300 tv shows tonight. And I am responding because I am petty and want to get the last word in. Didn't I mention how little I regard your opinion? Lets kibosh this.

Oh, and let's not forget Brienne is there and Cersei already Queen Bee'd her once because she could tell Brienne moons over Jamie.

If you need the last word, acknowledging your point carries no real weight? Have at it. It's yours, champ. I'll just have to figure out how to exist without walker11's approval, I guess.

That just proves critics are dumb. Which we all know. If you can't do....you critique complain.

So, you are saying a series with a bad first season, good second, and OK third, should be in the all time greats? hmmmm

Not an all time great. I am going to have to start being more precise with my words. I will consider the idea that my post wasn't good. It was more of a stream of consciousness where I thought of HBO shows that I have liked and that I could remember. I think my exact words in regards to the Leftovers was that it is very critically acclaimed but not as good as GOT.

Yeah I think dude having a spoon shoved up his ass was fairly ahead of its time.

Same. A fairly shallow singular character arc and that's pretty much it.

Also agreed on Leftovers. If anyone wants to explain to me exactly WTF happened and why it was so amazing, they will be the first.

I was speculating with someone yesterday that Cersei acting against Brienne could be the thing that pushes Jamie over the top, causes him to pick good over evil and become a Queenslayer. Although, being male, blow jobs beat morals most every time.

GoT is not going to age poorly like The Wire has. I mean, they use beepers.

And mentioning Silicon Valley in the same breath as GoT shreds your credibility. Badly.
Expand ...

If you're take on the wire is it has aged poorly because of technology I think you never connected with the genius of the wire.

The themes are MORE RELEVANT today then they were 15 years ago.

But beepers, yeah.

they could have been using smoke signals and flashing mirrors, and The Wire is still the greatest television show ever to hit the airwaves.
 
I rewatched EP6 last night - it's as I remember it. It's like eating a bag of candy - tastes good going down, but not truly satisfiying.

Plus he thinks she's carrying their baby. Not insignificant to a man who has lost three children (or who hasn't).
