GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

I agree with that. Breaking Bad is probably the best out of the 3 shows, but GoT has a following of both of those combined

Hm I actually preferred Mad Men to BB. I found BB a tad repetitive. I suppose maybe you could argue the same for Mad Men and I just didn't see it with Mad Men since I watched it as it came out versus Breaking Bad which I watched after it had already finished.

The Wire is cool. But I cringe when they talk about technology, cloning computers and phones etc.

So.. next season do we get a zombie Hodor holding open a door for the undead horde to pour through?

Mmm... Zombie Esther Ku...

I guess because they're releasing the next season so late, the blu-ray copies of this last season are being released a lot earlier than normal (usually March).

People who think Breaking Bad was a good show are just forgetting that 1/2 of it was Skylar and 1/3 of it was eating cereal. People like to call that pacing and context, but it was just filler. I dare you to rewatch it and not skip any scenes. It's not that the entire run was bad. Season 4 of BB was solidly top notch. 1 and 2 were solidly terrible. 3 and 5 had some very good episodes in them.

You can rewatch The Wire and not skip anything, you can do the same for Mad Men. You can't do that for Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. That's a relevant metric when you're talking about an entire series rather than individual internal arcs or episodes.

And if we just judge things by ratings, well Trump beats all four of them.

Filler is in the eye of the beholder. Half of Mad Men consists of Draper staring at someone/something longingly. It is what it is. I maintain that Skylar got a bad rap from the internet.

Mad Men is a soap opera that people nutted all over because it was set in the 1960's and they all look so dapper. Boring as fuck show.

1/2 of breaking bad was not Skylar. ALL of season 3 was Skylar, and Walt Jr eating cereal. That season sucked. Everything else was great.

I almost stopped watching the show during season 3 though. They did a great job of making me hate every. single. character. Especially Skylar. To the point that I almost gave up on it completely.

I always kind of liked that Don was the guy you were always kind of rooting for to change his life and turn it around instead of being a sleaze but never could get out of his own way. And then also watching the other characters get a moderate amount of success and follow exactly in Don's footsteps.

Its like if we watched Khane's life as a drama. We'd be like "Come on Khane she's a good girl and really good for you! Who cares if she won't suck your dick after you've put it in her butt? Its not a big deal!" Two episodes later "This isn't working out."

As long as we can all agree that Deadwood was better than all of these shows we're in good shape.

I don't see why you need to assign a "best" to one. I enjoyed BB, MM, GoT, Deadwood. I don't need to figure out which one I liked more. I was entertained by all.
