>>67163971
this was my favorite arc, it was something different on the show finally. It shook things up.
I was hoping the downward spiral would continue into the final season and have him burn out and return to Queens a nobody, end on a down note.
Eric and Sloan's on-and-off again bullshit every one of the last several seasons was the worst AND THEN THEY FUCKING DID IT AGAIN IN THE MOVIE.
Every show:
>A character is pregnant
The fake serial killer arc was good.

Every time I see TP fanboys defend S2 and claim that this is the only bad arc, I feel like punching a fucking wall. They're all shit.
The only scenes post-S02E10 I found remotely watchable were the main story and the ones withCatherine/Pete/Andrew Packard.
>>67164854

ah fuck I forgot about that. Thanks I guess.
Homeland's Brodywife sideplots made me want to turn off the tv.
I almost said Claire's art school season, but nope, Federico trying desperately to reconcile with that cunt Vanessa was the worst.

>>67165022
The whole fucking arc with that single mother kid. Can't remember his name right now, but it lasts the whole series and serves no purpose at all other than to show Betty might possibly be attracted to teenage boys
>>67164036
>zombie sayid
What's this?
>>67166284
Sayid was shot in the 5th season finale and was near death in the 6th season premiere.
They took him to the temple, where Lennon and Others drowned him in some baptismal water to "save" him. Later his body woke up and he's all "Wha happen?"
But he wasn't the same, he was totally unfeeling, unafraid, etc and started following Locke.
>>67162807
i liked vinny cakes gayness and mcnulty's wild ride arcs
come at me
>>67165022
I guess the waitress subplot in 7B? I think Glen was a fine character, the actor was just creepy.
>the entire show
I thought the fake serial killer shit was entertaining though.
Dutch killing the cat
Juice snitching because he's half black
>>67168055
>turns out that nobody cared he had some black in him
Nobody in that show was more JUST than him.
>>67167793
McNulty's reaction to the FBI's profiling was pure gold.
Vito and serial killer arcs had thematic meaning and funny moments. The age pill shit however cannot be defended.

I grew to hate Nate towards the end
All the Gloria Trillo is a nutcase bits.
>>67164484
I remember this one interview, where one of the female actors (don't ask me who, I don't know them) was gushing what a privilige it was to watch Spader work and what a mega star he is.
Watched a couple episodes of the show and found him unconvincing, faggy and boring.
>your son is autistic
>your daughter is, too
>>67167542
There were like a couple of good story arcs left after season 4. Stannis and ... wait only one.
>>67164406
I watched all of season 1. It was passable.
Dexter
>LaGuerta and Batista romance arc
>>67163624
>we just had Walt face off against someone who could be considered his intellectual equal, what do we do now?
>Neo-Nazi prison gang
>brilliant!
>>67163632
The Marta arc was fun as fuck
>Just two adults getting a stew on, man
>>67166821
Ah ok don't recall that but I think the temple is literally where I stopped watching on my Netflix rewatch since it aired. Shame. I remember Claire and someone in a tent and Claire is all Rambo mode. Man why did that show have to go so downhill at the end, granted the last few episodes are good, but so much retardedness shoved in at the same time
>>67168151
I must have blocked that from my mind. Assuming it isn't just one episode
>>67169359
Dexter
>anything after season 2
You guys keep hating on aging pills, the total runtime of it is actually pretty small and forgotten about real quick.
There's something much worse though if you ask me,a story arc that spans several seasons and that I skip everytime, and that's pic related whenever he is on screen, especially the scenes with him and Peter Marie
>Peter peter marie, hurr durr
>>67162807
GoT
>Bronn and Jaime on an adventure to find bad bussi
>>67168055
>Dutch killing the cat
It's so weird because it's never even mentioned again. I get that the point was Dutch wanted to "feel" what it was like to be a killer, to gain some insight into their way of thinking, but we never see a payoff for this directly.
>>67163925
>Personally I think the worst sopranos story arc was chris making his dumb fucking movie.
the whole ''struggling writer'' is the entire story about him and is shit.
>>67164844
>>this was my favorite arc, it was something different on the show finally. It shook things up.
but he does this whole public hedonistic life after being scared of death, once he jumped with his car. it is really cliché

The Sopranos
>muh beach house
>>67169629
Fuck you, Big Girls Don't Cry is among the GOAT episodes.
>>67164645
I watch it because my gf literally gets horny listening to James Spader. I'm not even kidding, she gets fired up and always ALWAYS wants to fuck. Tried it with Boston Legal too. I'm not even sure she's aware of it.
The only way I can STOP getting my dick sucked regularly is to, literally, become the Teminator.
>>67169529

>>67169616
>It's so weird because it's never even mentioned again.
Dutch was going to be revealed as a serial killer but fortunately Sutter was kept on a leash during the Shield unlike in Sons of Anarchy.
>>67170213

>>67163632
>All of Season 4
Just fuck my shit up.
Trailer Park Boys
>Every time Donna is on-screen
>>67169411
I don't care what anyone says, the Carl Weathers subplots were always the best.
>>67169239
ditto
I grew to hate everyone.
>>67171471
Kurt Sutter is a hack.
>>67169271
but that was great
everything with melfi and the psychiatry really
show would be so much better without it
>>67172318
the sole reason tony is such a well developed and explored character is because of the psychiatry without it the show would lose the only thing that sets it apart from other crime dramas
>>67164852
Bonus points for 'baby is special and factions have to fight over it like there wasn't any better reason'.

>>67169239
You were supposed to.
>>67169616
>that cat still keep keeping you up at night
>no
What were they supposed to do, have a multi-episode arc of him going undercover in an animal shelter to destroy the evidence linking him to a cat killing? It was supposed to show how hunting and catching serial killers affected his own psyche
>>67169396
>who is Tuco?
It showed how many different groups were connected through the meth-trade, though they were very weak final villains
>>67164914
The Gus arc is the most solid storytelling outside of the first three episodes you delusional anus
>>67164917
Hamsterdam was a great storytelling device/thematic microcosm though, the serial killer plot didn't justify its ridiculousness.
>>67163632
You forgot
>season 4
>>67173354
That wasn't nearly as bad asAJ banging a poor brown lady
>bsg

Yawn
Fagshenanigans in NH happened because 6.1 was supposed to end with the Sacrimoni wedding episode but HBO ordered more episodes fucking up the flow and adding a bunch of filler between that episode and the beginning of 6.2.

>>67162807
>Aging pills
I literally stopped watching Oz after that because it was so fucking retarded. I was watching 3 or 4 episodes a day before that, then that came up and I realized the show was shit.
After that episode they had something like an animal cage in the middle of the prison for punishment? So fucking stupid.
>>67176577
Yeah that's where I gave in too.
I tried a couple episodes past it but the old retard plot just drained all I loved from the show.

ANY EPISODE RELATING TO MUH ABEL OR IRELAND IN SONS OF ANARCHY
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>67162807
the Vito arc in Sopranos S6 isn't really that bad and it ties in very well thematically
>>67169239
He was an indecisive fuck who had no idea what he wanted.
I still think he would've been okay if Lisa didn't die. Before she died, he seemed like he was ready to turn around his life.
>>67164794
I'M COOOOOOOK
>>67164915
i just found basically all the scenes with James Hurley that weren't directly relevant to the death of Laura/her cousin awful
like i could barely stand the James/Donna/cousin scenes but i stuck through them
any scene that is just James or James and Donna is near unwatchable
But also Audrey's love arc. She was meant to be with Cooper but Donna's actor (who was seeing Cooper's actor at the time) complained that she wasn't gettin as many lines.
oh and the mayor/press proprietor marriage arc
>>67163632
idk i think oscar had some good scenes
like when he suggests Buster should cremate his turtle that ate his stash
i think season 4 was pretty average, especially the Fakeblock plotline (mainly because of how stupid Fakeblock was)
>>67169312
lol
this and pretty much anything julian related
>>67173503
>>67163624
>>67169396
i feel like the neo nazis should have come earlier to serve as a villain in the mid-seasons only to get mostly cut down and make peace with mike and later on helping walt/whoever take out the big bad that was obviously Gus
>>67173354
>>67175190
>>67162807
not so much an arc but the christopher columbus episode was way out of place and the character's behaved so weirdly
but i think the worst arc was Janice's various lovers
>>67175024
He was the cringiest part of the show.
>lets take out the best character and replace it with a female yolo
>>67179978
this really pissed me off.
People make too big a deal about aging pills on Oz. It was only a single episode.
>>67179999
I wonder if just the actor didnt have time or the writers just wanted to fuck their shit up
>>67165022
>not joan in 7b
Was fucking ridiculous, she meets an awesome rich dude, and he wants to do awesome shit, and she dumps him for her company, that and shes hardly even a main character and she gets a sizable chunk of the final part of the series.
Thst russian shit and pretty much all of season 3
Also peter Russo
>>67180442
>russian shit
>not the homocuckoldry
>>67172318
care to explain why?
>>67175024
yeah as soon as he started shooting people with nonlethal bullets of his own invention I started feeling like I was watching a completely different show
>>67180108
>>67179999
>>67179978
the dude who was originally playing holly came to the start of filming for what series (3?) with like dyed bright orange hair or something. idk he must've refused to change it or something. pretty dumb
Homeland
>It's a Dana episode
why they took away time with Brody/Carrie/Saul to focus on such a dull character is beyond me
>>67180642
>nonlethal bullets
What the fuck? Were they 9mm or something :D
>>67169674
The show ended when Pam and Jim get married. Seriously thats the best part to never watch the US Office again.
>>67169629
The fuck are you smoking? Youre basically saying the character sucked and should have been more one dimensional. Him wanting to create something us a good 50% of the character development that went into making Christopher one of the strongest characters.
>>67180796
>>67169674
>watching US office
>>67180841
Its a good show to watch when doing arduous things in vidya.
>>67179393
Yes exactly.
I don't know much about the behind the scenes but I guess they were supposed to stop after season 4.
I mean s5 feels like a mini-serie in itself it's weird.
As much as I love the series, the only negative point would be the fact that the nazi gang comes up after Gus as main villains.
>>67168151
>JK I MADE IT ALL UP ALSO DAN IS DEAD BECAUSE JOHN GOODMAN WANTED TO LEAVE THE SHOW SO FUCK HIM
any episode with lucifer in the most recent season of supernatural, fuck really anything after when they threw him back into the cage in the first place. God this show when to shit after that, but boy this season is showing us how bad it can get.
the fuck happened to the discussion?

It's what got the show cancelled.
