Is Game of Thrones the greatest TV show of all time?
some would say yes, others would say no
Breaking Bad is still better, but GoT is easily the second best. It might overtake it by the end of the series.
>>71031517
yes
Mad Men
>inb4 dude soap opera nothing happens LMAO
>>71031587
Don't forget Fargo and Hannibal!
Who died this episode?
>>71031517
t. Norman McNormalfag
>>71031950
This. Fargo and Hannibal are infinitely better. Toss in Boardwalk Empire too.
>>71031587
Breaking Bad is overrated. Good show, but not top 10. Ending was shit.
>>71032711
>Ramsay
>Rickon
>Giant
Some how not Davos or Tormund.
>>71031517
Prison Break is better
>>71032807
Ozymandias alone makes it top 10 worthy
This was a good episode
in a terrible season
of a mediocre show
>>71031517
It was probably the best episode of the entire series, I don't know about the best in TV history.
to be honest, this is one of the best battle scenes in any tv show or movie. ever.
>>71032935
I can't remember anything from that episode.
>>71033081
Then you either didn't watch the show or you don't remember the episode.
directing was great but writing was shit
show still sucks
>>71032996
Battle scene was great, but Jon is a fucking moron and I was hoping he'd get his dumb ass killed. I hate the writers.
>>71031517
I definitely think it's one of the greatest shows ever made. There are not many shows that have impacted viewers and television the way GoT has.
Is it perfect? No, nothing is. Does it have weak episodes? Of course. Does it have bouts of bad writing? Yes it does. However what the show does right, it does really right, and when the show shines, it really fucking shines. Tonight for example was one of the greatest hours in television history. Anyone who thinks Battle of the Bastards was anything short of great, is just being a contrarian cunt.
Its fun to watch but its hardly the greatest of all time
It has plenty of flaws but its enjoyable and has a huge bonus in being unique, you don't see this kind of stuff in a TV show usually
>>71033333
I'm checking those numbers anon.
>>71031587
This last GoT episode was better than all of Breaking Bad combined.
>>71033880
Ok let's not get ahead of ourselves here
>>71032835
or jon he dodged 4000 arrows and 600 horses
>>71031517
It is for me. Without GoT, my TV would be non-existent in my house.
If it was the greatest show of all time he would have died right there
>>71034093
That's cause he's the chosen one. He can constantly make retarded decisions like charging into an army by himself but everything will turn out fine cause the writers will it.

That's just not correct
This episode was unironically one of the best displays of medieval type warfare currently on film no sarcasm. Right up there with Gaugamela in Alexander.
>>71034260
The Wire is soooooo overrated.
The scene where Jon is getting crushed and smothered was filmed really well imo. You could really feel the desperation and claustrophobia.
Honestly it was probably the best scene of the season.

is an endgame main character supposed to die in every conflict of every series or movie or what
is that what you want to see

>LOL PREDICTABLE FUCKING SHIT D&D AMIRITE?
Whiny cunts.
>>71034386
It was a shield wall, those existed in old combat. Tactics didn't drastically change that much.
The battle actually reminded me of the one real life battle of Cannae where Roman soldiers were surrounded in a circle and Carthage slowly killed them one by one, the roman soldiers couldn't move their arms and had to slowly wait to die, some even killed themselves by burying their head in the ground and suffocating.
>>71033333
I agree, letting Jon die was the only right decision, especially so because they could just bring him back like before. Why didn't they do it? It would have been the best episode if they had done it, but with him surviving ridiculous odds, over and over again, makes this from a 10/10 into a 7/10. They fucked up, they had the chance and didn't take it.
>>71034381
I really liked the Davos scene too, so much emotion without any dialogue. Great shot with the sun and the immediate cut to Tyrion afterwards
>>71034499
>Roman
>medieval
>>71034360
it's one of those series that i need to watch twice to appreciate.

I just can't tell who's actually underage and who's shitposting anymore
>>71034347
Thank you for weighing in Reddit.
Jon not dying is fine. It cements him as the best swordsman in the world, a legend only becomes a legend because he survives impossible odds
>>71031553
fpbp lmao.
it is if your 16. I haven't bothered to watch it for 2 seasons now. Can't wait for it to be over. sick of hearing about it.
House of Cards. The BBC one, not the Kevin Spacey one.
The Sopranos.
>>71031587

I said the same thing before this season. But this season knocked it waaaay down.

>>71034360
i bet you like the walking dead
>>71034467
no but it was retarded writing and you cant refute that
It was a good episode but it took like 5 seasons for something to actually happen.
>>71034508
Killing and resurrecting him for a second time would've been repetitive and fucking pointless. I'm glad you niggas don't write this shit.
>>71034538
Don't get too triggered bro.
>>71034538
Holy shit, this guy admitted he goes to reddit and even posted a screencap lmao
>>71034558
yeah but I have to vie for attention by pretending to be upset about it and that I have a much better idea of how it should have gone down but you'll just have to take my word for it
>>71034609
Lots of people survived all those arrows, Jon wasn't the only one. It'd be dumb if he died because then there wouldn't be a story to tell, what's the point.

/thread
>>71034558
Being the best swordsman there is doesn't justify moronic behavior like charging into the enemy lines all on your own. If I want to watch a Superhero movie there are plenty of Superman and Avengers movies, no need to shit up GoT with this crap.
>>71034524

>Patrician
I've got bad news for you...
>>71031517
Let's just take the best parts of got, so the beginning - because it's necessary for the story - through season 4. It was a good show in that span.
Sopranos
True detective season 1
Curb your enthusiasm
Are all absolutely better. Then mad men, the wire, and breaking bad are probably better as well, but I haven't really watched those, so I'm not sure.
>>71034629
you're upset that he didn't get greased when his literal army was literally immediately behind him
you wouldn't know writing good or bad if gurm himself wadded it up and rammed it up your sandy cunt just go to bed and get the fuck off my blog
>>71034519
The Romans existed up to the 1400's in one form or another and the actual roman crown and roman families lasted even longer
>>71034467
it was dumb.
Is the consensus that this was a good epsiode? Aside from the long cut of Jon in the melee I thought it was generally shit. Everything was incredibly predictable and executed in the most nonsensical way possible.It was obvious Rickon would die, but why didn't he weave?was obvious that Wun Wun would die, but why is 5cm of penetration to the eye an instant kill for a fucking giant?It was obvious that Littlefinger would come at the precise moment that he did, but why the fuck did Sansa keep that a secret?
>>71034702
It was soundly defeated in the middle ages, hence why it was abandoned as a bad tactic (since weapon tech evolved to the point that the second the wall was breached it became useless)
Why the fuck does this shitpost have so many replies?
>>71034773
He was in the middle of a cavalry charge with hundreds of other people, why aren't you complaining about the other people that lived?
His army was charging with him, lots of people in his army lived
>>71034695
Fucking this. People are really calling this the best Season ever when you have filler plots galore and Arya's bullshit.
>>71034524
>I thought /tv/ was supposed to be patrician as fuck?
Breaking Bad is the most boring piece of shit of all time.
Walt's character arc of becoming edgier is predictable and unimpressive as fuck. Jamie Lannister is far better and he's just one among many.
>>71034837
>the second the wall was breached it became useless
That was always the case
>>71034524
>patrician
>dudebro-tierIt's television, dipshit. If you're looking for riveting intellectual stimulation try turning off the fucking TV.
Also, unpopular taste does not equal good taste. That's called being a hipster, and most hipster are just barely smarter than the drooling hordes. The top 1% is still fucking stupid.
>>71034827
The consensus should be Got should be banned from this board
>>71034682
What other people?
Wildlings? Nope. They showed up later. Other northmen? Nope, they were with Davos and showed up later. They showed a literal wall of bodies from the firing and John was the only obvious one who survived.
>>71034773
Who said it had to be justified? Ramsey manipulated him to ride out by himself and Jon was consumed by rage after Rickon was struck down. It wasn't like he had a calculated plan or was thinking rationally.
>>71034827
>Wun Wun
Dude had about a hundred spears/arrows sticking out of him bleeding all over, used his last strength to open that door. was at the end and wouldn't have made it more then two or three minutes. The shot in the eye sealed the deal.
>>71034360
>>71034822

u really thought he should die and come back again?
u fuckin dumbass. quit posting
>>71034260
>Sopranos and The Wire as the top 2
Agreed. This is pretty much undisputed as far as TV drama goes. Breaking Bad, Man Med and Game of Thrones babbies, stay mad.
>>71031517
No, Game of Thrones isn't the greatest TV show ever.It's not TV. It's HBO.
>>71034872
I didn't watch all of breaking bad so I can't compare but can you tell me what exactly is jaime lannister's arc in the show?
He went from a guy with two arms who loves his sister and would do anything for her to a guy with one arm doing the same thing.
>>71034837
You literally have no idea why the shield wall and hoplites became obsolete, please stop talking about military tactics like you fucking know anything at all. Technology didn't change the battlefield, new tactics and ideas did, the widespread use of cavalry in the steppes brought a change to tactics that armies in the east (anatolia, syria etc) incorporated into their own armies which then slowly spread to europe. Even then the shield wall was a very effective formation, it didn't require much training to learn and a peasant could do it just fine.
>>71033880
Don't forget to rate the episode 10/10 on IMDb you bandwagoning piece of shit
>>71034936
agreed
/tv/ is 100% trash 100% of the time but when GoT airs the trash bar gets raised another three retarded notches
Everyone's gonna complain about Rickon not zig-zagging and okay, right, that's an easy mark to complain about in terms of reality as an observer. But if you were ever in that situation in life, given the desperation, fear, and long unseen savior/relative hundreds of feet away, you would probably be single-mindedly running straight towards them as well.
>>71034936
>banning the best TV show since Chavo del Ocho
>>71034827
The battle was cool if you try to forget the rest of the episode.
However Ive had about all I can take with all this womyn power bullshit seeping into this season as overcompensation to the fan reaction about Sansa last season.
>>71035021
the best episode of all times and this brat isn't in it. what a coincidence
>>71031517
That was some Gears of War I CGI there. A greenscreen in a basement would be better.
>>71034956
Yeah, and it would have made sense and have been perfectly dramatic to have him collapse, mortally wounded. The shot in the eye didn't make a great deal of sense, and it continued the GoT cliche of named characters having to be killed by named characters.
People don't get mortally wounded and die the next day or something in GoT. Not saying that this is indefensible, but it is kind of strange that they seem to always go out of the way to prevent that sort of thing from happening. Just an observation.
You're giving GoT too much credit. When they start going off-book, it's hit or miss. Some shit makes no sense and some of the fan theories turn out being way better than what actually happens
Look at the Dorne plot and the Arya plot. People were guessing that Arya was playing the Waif and setting up a trap, possibly using faces to dupe her. Nope, it turns out she was being a dumbass and almost got murdered by her and beat her in a blind battle.
>>71032996
Literally anything from season four would be better than this. Season six has been decent but nothing could be worse than season five.
GOD ITS BEEN THREE HOURS AND IM STILL PUMPED AAAAH
>>71035141
except in the behind the scenes they revealed they actually shot around 40 horses charging straight at Kit for the scene.
>>71035159
should have had an arrow wiz passed Jon's head insted of shooting wun-wun. They should have just showed a big pyre for him next episode, or a big body in the pyre.
>>71035141
Baseless shit talk (surprise), it was obviously real just shot and touched up for effect.
>>71035123
Visually it was pretty impressive. It was just painful how scripted it felt. I wish somebody could direct a battle scene where the tide wasn't turned by last-minute cavalry reinforcements. I was dreading CIA's appearance because the inevitability of it cheapened the lengthy section where it was hopeless. It just felt pointless to even see them being surrounded when there was no chance that they wouldn't be rescued.
>>71035022
Not that anon but Jamie changed a whole lot when he was captured by Brienne in season four and you sty ally learned about his past regrets for being called the kingslayer when he was only doing the right thing and stopping an absolute madman. I'm not saying he's a super deep character and I disagree with the anon you quoted saying Walt's arc wasn't as good, but Jamie did have some cool shit go down. Shame they've backed away from that. I wanted to see him go ham in Dorn after his daughter died but they really backed out of that and now he's just a traveling cuck doing whatever Cersei says.
>>71034524
Dude, check the IMDB top rated episodes. They're literally all Breaking Bad and GoT. If that doesn't tell you they're the best shows ever I don't know what to say
>>71031517
>Is Game of Thrones the greatest TV show of all time?
>>71035243
And then they cut when they got within 100 feet of him and did some very bad layering effects where he and the other real people float off the screen against the XBOX Calvary.
Honestly that's like saying a terrible SyFy-tier CGI car wreck is good because they filmed real cars driving toward the camera leading up to it.
>>71035316
Yeah the head Jews at HBO would let horses crash into each other and have one of their million-dollar actors sit in the midst of it all. You're right I withdraw my point.
>>71035141
tell me more about your godlike ability to discern the pixels oh wise and storied poster of dipshittery and trash

I would think that seeing him on his death bed would have been a hell of a lot more impactful and would have better driven home the sacrifice that he made, as one of the last of his kind.

This episode was literally the best episode I have ever seen from any kind of media ever. This is actually the greatest thing ever that I will name my firstborn child after this episode. He/she will be named Bastard, in reference to the Battle of the Bastards.

This. I watched all of breaking Bad and I don't fucking remember anything. There was the Bald Man Walter white who sold the drugs. His familly was retarded and irerelevant.T hen there was his sidekick who said bitch all the time with his autisitc friends. He was laways angry and complained all the time. He had a girfriend and I think she died or something. And then there was an evil black man who owned KFC and used it as a drug front. Then there was the bald man assasin who worked for KFC man. Then they robbed a train and used a kid as bait once. It was all very shocking n shiet. That is litteraly all I can remember off the top of my head about Breaking Bad and I'm pretty sure I watched all the episodes.

Jon may be a dullard, but you will always be the rightful king of retards.
