Breaking Bad is so far ahead of any show. It had characters you legit hated like Walts wife. No show is having a character that hatable. Game of thrones is great, but this season proved why its not the GOAT. this season had no real shock value, and that's what GoT does best.
If skylar was more hateable than joffrey or ramsay to you, you might have a problem breh

Yeah, you commented about how long it took me to reply to you in this very same thread. Breh, I'm able to son you by my self, I don't need you to give me easy layups. In one post: "they'll die of dehydration and starvation". In a post after: "What good is food and water?" You're literally asking what good is the shyt that solves the issues you brought up. Sea sickness subsides. Yoh dont have it the whole time. If they're dehydrated, they drink something if theyre starving, they eat something. They can't keep it down so they just be like, fukk the stuff that will help me survive?:francis:If you're trolling me right now, good job. I'm not gonna stop responding, btw. This war of attrition is hilarious to me right now.

OK, no need to reply to every little comment. I got you in your feelings like that you need to explain yourself to me? lol
Sea sickness doesn't always subside tho, people have died from sea sickness, especially when the drugs to treat it were not yet invented. Look it up.

Brag about characters that are hated that aren't supposed to be hated, brehs

:mjlol:

I hate every single character on Fear of the Walking Dead, that show must be the GOAT!!

:mjlol:

Since you don't understand the point I made, another point, GoT is for brehs with lower IQ, dumbed down. :salute: for proof

I can't even rewatch BB cause of Walt's family, trash ass characters..

Skylar should've died, Walt Jr was a fukk boy, Marie was super annoying and trash, and Hank went super cop in the last few seasons. :camby:

Game of Thrones has been solid since season 1, the story, the acting, the enviorments

At its weakest (season 5) it was still better than the worst season of The Sopranos or The Wire and had a top 3 all time episode in that weak season

Theres no way Game of Thrones goes out with disappointment, by the end of this series This show will literally hold the Throne to every other TV show in history

The Sopranos focuses on the decline of not just of the American Mafia, but American society in general and is centrally focused on North Jersey and parts of NYC. The viewpoint is mostly from Tony's as he struggles with having a criminal life under the guise of being a "legitimate businessman" and the anxiety of being a victim of circumstances as he wasn't born a sociopath, but grew to be one based on his therapy sessions and family background.

The Wire transcends all time as it focuses on the failures of not just American society, but human society in general as greed, power, and wealth are wielded as weapons for a select few while the majority suffer major generational effects. Baltimore, Baghdad, Chicago, Rio De Janeiro, doesn't matter, they all tell the same story that the Wire conveys to a detail that GOT could never match. However, GOT isn't a social commentary, the Wire is....

Breaking Bad, again a narrative of a crime boss struggling with terms of his own morality.

Out of the four mentioned in this thread, the social narrative of the Wire and it's grounding in reality and make it the choice for goat show....

GOT is a great in its own right in terms of fantasy, but on a personal and audience-level, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who could relate to Ned Stark, Lord Tywin, or Dany.

Lets unpack this, we're well passed the Golden age of television. It just feels like the golden age of TV has extended this far, it hasn't its the silver age, and that's fine, we have colossal titles like Sopranos, Dexter, Breaking Bad, etc.

Game of Thrones, hasn't finished, till then its sailing on cautious tides, till we get the ending of it all. People were saying the same thing about Dexter, Sopranos, and Lost..till those finales came and they became turd buckets with a layer of codeine riddled vomit.

Game of Thrones has only had 4 good episodes since the end of season 4.

The last two episodes of season 6 saved the season from being :trash:.

"Battle episodes" don't happen every episode. They're 1 episode out of 10. They may give a single episode more rewatchability but certainly not the season. It's the same with the "shock episodes".

You could recommend individual episodes but never a full season or even a sequence of episodes as it's all left for specific episodes to happen e.g. episode 8 of season X. Which means the stuff that proceeds it is slowly paced and a slog to get through before the "payoff" e.g. Jon Snow getting revived in episode 1 and then doing nothing substantial until episode 9. It works episodically, but on a rewatch where you've got every episode at your disposable, aint nobody got time that :camby:and you'll end up skipping scenes.

Yeah. We weren't supposed to have Skylar. She was just a miserable poorly written bytch. Walt Jr literally was a waste of time. The characters you hated on BB was because they took away from the overall quality. Like that fukking kid in season 2 of The Wire. You hate Joffrey because he's such a smug evil prick who does things to characters we love and empathize with. That's why those characters are great. Their actions and how they become hated are much more meaningful

The last episode alone had more shock value than probably the entire season what are you talking about :what:

To be fair the narrative is different in BB. Its not about warring factions...its about one man, fukking up an entire two families, due to his overwhelming greed. To the audience it looks like everyone else is a c*nt and he's the "hero" but ultimately he was a horrible human being/sociopath. People said the same thing about Tony Soprano's wife...even though when you apply some perspective, these are the wives of corrupt, greedy, murderers.

This season was weak compared to the first two. and dont get me wrong, I like GoT. What was so shocking? Cersi, a character we already knew was scheming and wasnt going to hold an L killed a bunch of people? Shocking breh.
