This is going to get a lot of y'all clits itchy, but...Game of Thrones is the GOAT..

[Dat Migo]

I promise you, after the 8-9 seasons its going take to tell this epic, it will go down as the GOAT show. Only way this show falls off is if the author dies. Ive read the books and it only gets better.

LOL AT BREAKING BAD BEING A CONTENDER FOR GOAT

GOOD BUT COME ON SON

"Game of Thrones":

Game of Thrones - Season 1 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More - Metacritic

"Breaking Bad":

Breaking Bad - Season 1 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More - Metacritic

The worst season of "Breaking Bad" is as critically acclaimed as what people are arguing is GOAT material from "Game of Thrones".

You people need to wake up. "Breaking Bad" has been mentioned alongside "The Wire", "Sopranos", etc. for years.

I'm not going to c/s only because the actual book series isn't done yet. But they've done a great job following the source material while still incorporating their own ideas thus far. I've said it for a long time now, if they keep it up, it'll be difficult for it to not be the GOAT show. As of right now though, Mad Men is threatening the holy duo of The Wire and The Sopranos.

Fantasy/Sci-Fi has always been discriminated against in comparison to other genres by critics. Reviews really aren't a good argument in this case.

It could get cancelled, like "The Wire". There is all kinds of shyt that can go wrong, long before this show is GOAT material. 2 seasons isn't enough to crown anything....anything, the GOAT. I said the same thing about "Boardwalk Empire".

I havent crowned it the GOAT. I said if all goes to plan, it will be considered. And I'm sure you crowned The Wire/Breaking Bad GOATs after their fourth seasons. They are producing the next book (what many claim to be the best of the series) which will be the 3rd and 4th seasons. What excuse are you going use to discredit the show when it has enough seasons to be considered a GOAT? Everyone is going be at all the piff that will be shown while you over here "bu-bu-but..." Same goes for Boardwalk, another future GOAT.

You're trying too hard. I already said placing GOT up there is premature. Posting the metacritic for one T.V show (from 2003) along with a smilie isn't disproving a widely known and accepted fact of the industry. Especially when that one show's rating is based on 14 reviews. Meanwhile Game of Thrones has 28 reviews. Plus:


Emmys’ Bias Against Science Fiction and Fantasy | Picktainment


'Game Of Thrones' Fights Genre Bias At The Emmys

Fantasy and science-fiction tend to get a bad rap among critics, and not just in television. The genre bias extends across movies and literature as well, and has done so for many, many years. It's perhaps a holdover from the genre's genesis in the pulp magazines of the first half of the 20th century-- cheap, flashy stories printed on thin paper, read avariciously by young boys looking for a thrill.

"I think it has deep roots, going back a good 100 years or so," Lev Grossman, author of best-selling fantasy novel "The Magicians," said of the critical bias. "There's a cultural myth that because genre is heavily plotty, and because it is 'constrained' by genre conventions, and it's not realist, it's less meaningful."

In fact, when "Game of Thrones" debuted, a few reviews spent so much of their time insulting the genre that little space was reserved to discuss the actual merits of the show.

Here's some of those reviews:

Throw in NCIS, you clit scratcher.

I like G.O.T but it is not the GOAT anything yet, why can't you dudes let things play out before making grand claims? I remember when people were calling Heros the GOAT after one season.........look at how that turned out

The wire is the best show ever
