It's time to admit Game of Thrones has surpassed Breaking Bad, The Wire and The Sopranos

While all great shows, I can only find myself able to rewatch The Wire and Games of Thrones.

Too much tension for me to sit through Breaking Bad.
Would Walter have been happier if he'd just smoked a couple js until the cancer took over, or was cancer the best thing to happen to him in spite of losing everything?

Nah. The story is easily as good as those. Breaking Bads story in particular wasn't really all that great. The way everything ties together in Thrones in particular is impressive as fukk. It reminds me of The Witcher 3 in that sense that every action someone makes somewhat affects everyone else
Thrones has the advantage there having been based on a book that weaved all those stories. Makes BB and the wire even better (still haven't made it thru the sopranos) being that they built their world entirely in the show, it wasn't lifted from 1000's of pages of books

I'm surprised nobody uses The Shield as a benchmark. Lasted 7 seasons, stayed consistent (imo there was no trash season like The Wire's last one), and has the most memorable finale compared to other shows.

You think that Varys is going to simply disclose that information to her....?????? "Hi, Dany, oh yeah I'm the one who gave the order to poison you 5 years ago. LUL." The fukk is wrong with you? How would she know in the first place? I don't think Tyrion is going to tell her considering he's the reason that his ass is alive.

I'm comparing it to other shows as well, and yeah it has inconsistencies at times, but not the crap you're throwing out there in that last post. You gonna cry about Omar surviving a gotdamn 5 floor drop and disappearing into the night as if he didn't just survive that fall? You're nitpicking dumb shyt here son. The "time inconsistencies" is something that people with an agenda would cry about. Everyone else read the explanation or understood it from the get go and kept it moving.

:camby:
:snoop:Jorah told her explicitly it was Varys not even Robert who tried to poison her when Selmy outed him as a spy. Did you watch the show?
My only agenda is to voice my opinion that it's not the best show ever. What happened to agree to disagree? lol You think it's the best, great, I don't.

It ties together? I don't think so. Lots of thing happen just cause not because they make any sense. It's like an action movie, you got to ignore a lot of inconsistencies to enjoy the spectacle.
i don't know what you're watching dog. We just all witnessed 6 seasons of character interactions all coming to a head. Look, the one thing you can't shyt on this show is for inconsistencies, George RR Martin ends up explaining every little minute motherfukking detail, even why a retarded character can only speak the words "hodor".

Yeah. Thrones has the advantage of being more well written then both the other shows. How does being inferior make BB and the wire "even better"? A book also has to be adapted for television, which was done in immaculate fashion and isn't an easy process especially not with a writer as descriptive and verbose as George RR Martin.

I never said it was the best show ever. I said its story is as good as either of them. All I remember was Varys told Robert that she was pregnant and Robert told him to poison her. Was he or was he not acting on orders? fukk what Jorah said. Jorah would have said anything at that point to stay at Dany's side.

I can totally shyt on this show for inconsistencies. It has a bunch strictly self-contained in the show not even talking about the books. And really compared to the book their are so many differences it's barely the same.

Dothraki couldn't sail before not that they didn't want to, they get sick and die.
Yeah he was the poisoner, and exactly he worked for the Usurper. They are cool now? I guess it makes for a better closing shot on the boat for the season finale to just gloss over that.
If we are comparing it to other shows that don't have glaring inconsistencies like this show does, yes we have to be that petty.
Put your pom poms down and at least try to be objective. I LOVE the show, it got me to read the books but I can call a spade a spade. It's not the best ever IMO.
If you don't have a rebuttal, just put the keyboard down:mjlol:I wasn't the one comparing it to other shows. I guess you forget posting this:

You know the show is good nowadays because of the high budget spectacles and a bloody murder promised every episode but really the story is nowhere near Sopranos/Wire/BB.

Post me the proof that the Dothraki get sick and die from sailing. I'll wait. I could have sworn Khal Drogo swore to go to Westeros in the first season. I guess that nikka was suicidal:francis: Varys wasnt the poisoner. Saying it over and over again isn't going to make it true. You know how I know he's not the poisoner? Cause the poisoner's dead:ohhh:Robert Baratheon, the king Varys served, ordered Dany to be killed. Anyone that had a hand in that was merely doing their jobs. It's my day off. I have plenty of time to keep responding. Do your thing:ehh:

And I disagree and told you why.
You can say 'fukk what Jorah said' but Dany believed him, therefore she should want Varys dead.

He. Was. Following. Orders. It's the same reason she didn't have Jorah executed. It's why Tyrion LANNISTER wasn't murdered on sight. Same with Selmy. You're fukking dense son
