It was tremendous television, the best thing Spielberg has ever not directed. The entire show puts Saving Private Ryan to shame.

The last episodes dealing with sledge as individual episodes put it over the top in a way that isn't built like war propaganda and stands on its own merit.

If they didn't fuck up the last minute of it royally, the season 6 finale of The Walking Dead would be GOAT. The tension of the whole thin was top tier. Having Rick go from hot shit to worried to terrified baby with each roadblock actually got a good performance out of Lincoln. Shame about the GoldenEye 64 blood screen cliffhanger that ruined everything. The Walking Dead was actually almost good TV until it shit the bed.

walking dead has been awful for years now. you definitely would have fit in with the plebs in ancient rome.

"Who Goes There"
"Whitecaps"
"Family Meeting"

"The Grove" is still my favourite walking dead episode and one of my favourites episodes over all.

>>70377284

true detective. the sopranos. the shield.

honestly i'd vote for virtually any sopranos episode over any other tv show ever, except for maybe the one where tony's dad's mistress cons him and creepily sings happy birthday mr. president to him at the end.

>>70377096
The guy you replied to here, yeah I'm willing to admit you're right there also I don't want to seem like I dislike it, solid 8.2-8.4/10 SNAFU was based but I didn't care for the guy from 13 Hours or Bazalone as characters but by focusing on fewer characters than BoB it did allow the show to give more characterization and on a character drama level Sledge's development vastly surpassed any in BoB so I give points there. Also as an aussie it was great to get to see famous hot people from here get naked in that 1 ep

I've read a lot of books. I've watched a lot of movies and television shows. I've heard a lot of stories.

As a species, it's our medium. We think, feel, and communicate with them, and every language in every country throughout history has been designed around them.

Closure is the moment we peaked. It's the moment we arrived. It is the greatest achievement in storytelling, regardless of medium.

Even though the two Bastogne episodes were the most gritty, I thought they were the most comfy and pleasant episodes due to the snow constantly reminding me of Christmas.
>>
>>70377747
almost quads. but yeah Sledge / SNAFU were great, especially considering i was expecting the cliche of them hating each other cause sledge is more reserved and then maybe become friends or at least respect each other and the very but then it turned out to be far better and less cliche

I watched that episode 7 years ago, still nothing compares. Idris and the writers since a fantastic job creating a character that was at heart a community ruining drug-dealer, yet incredibly sympathetic because of his motivations and things he did to improve himself and to ultimately understand the macro-economics of the drug trade in order to ironically improve the health of the community he grew up in.

Really shows how much Breaking Bad pales in comparison, trying to create a sympathetic anti-hero yet not even coming close to how good Stringer was.

The Body is so good it elevates the entire series it exists in. It's the only episode of television that hurts the same way and to the same extent every time you watch it. It's lightning in a bottle. It couldn't be any other way than the way it is. A lot of Joss Whedon's stuff is schlocky to me (my love for Angel as being a 90s Batman aside), but in 44 minutes broadcast in 2001 he built a lifetime pass.

The right one is the next episode of Bastogne, OP

All the Bastogne episodes are so perfect. You get so attached to the characters during that time.

the worst BoB episode is better than the best pacific one. kys

Extremely hard question as I usually marathon seasons and I do not recall individual episodes, or can tell where the line from episode-to-episode exists/goes.

Really shame since I can't name favorite episodes because of this.

Yes. A good mix of episodic monster of the week episodes mixed with longer arcs.

Quality dips later, but you can decide when to drop it.
>>
Posting two favorites, don't know if they are necessarily the best of all time.

Bad Dreams - The Wire, because it's the only episode of a show that made me tear up.

Humbug - X-Files with it's perfect mix of scariness and humor and that fucking ending.
>>
>>70379109
Buffy had some great episodes.
>>
BoB - Bastogne
True Detective - The Long Bright Dark
Supernatural - Hammer of the Gods
Hannibal - Mizumono
Trailer Park Boys - The Way of the Road
Rome - Season 1 Episode 11
>>
sopranos - pine barrens
