You're mixing me up with the guy who is trolling the thread. I was one of the people defending GoT.

Those 3 bad filthy seasons at the end wouldn’t lower the value of Breaking Bad streaming rights.

He wasn’t directing that at you

He was directing it at others

Round 1 Summary



AMI, you're back on the clock to kick off Round 2

Ah.

Okay, wasn't prepared for this. Give me a moment.

Okay got it. This might go much lower because of recency bias, but maybe not.

Again given same metrics this show is just as fantastic. Again ton of awards including Emmies and Golden Globes. Again critically acclaimed and loved by fans everywhere. Genre remains the same. One of the best crime drama series created for television by David Chase. The story revolved around an Italian-American mobster and his difficulties balancing his family life with his criminal family life. Helping to navigate his decisions, he seeks guidance by engaging to therapy sessions with a prominent shrink. Well, you woke up this morning...

Sopranos in round 2 seems like a nice value.

BB and Sopranos are really good for picks 10/11.. Nice job...

Two of the shows better than The Wire are now finally off the board.

all the others total garbage

figured those would be the two you'd pick

I haven't seen either, but will one day...maybe on your service!

This isn’t what happened with GoT. In your example, BB would be two different shows with two different creators/showrunners. Try again.

just my opinion, but movies should come with tv series, if the movie is clearly just another episode of the show but called a movie.

for example i'd give the breaking bad movie to go along with the breaking bad show.... but i don't feel strongly about it.

why would it make a difference who is behind what you see? it's still an episode of the show...

and it's likely that as the show went on, it was more and more talentless d and d who were creating the story, rather than george rr martin. so it's like martin was creating the story in the beginning when it was great, and d and d were creating it in the end when it was terrible(just one or so episodes that were actually "terrible" )

the point is that if something is fantastic. its fantastic regardlss of what comes after. if davinci had painted a mona lisa2, and it sucked, that wouldnt make the mona lisa less good

I assume I’m “the guy who is trolling the thread.” Trolling is when you’re being provocative for the sake of being provocative, typically in a disingenuous way. Saying the quality of GoT went from top-tier, GOAT status to “yeah, it was great for years - it’s a shame they destroyed it in the final seasons” status is hardly provocative. It’s also an opinion I hold, so yeah. Not trolling.

Again, you’re mixing it up - you’re not even keeping to your own examples. In your first example, it was D&D creating something brilliant and then stopping after five seasons. Then billionaire filthy comes along and decides he’s going to revive the series and shits out three horrible seasons.

That. Is. Not. What. Happened.

Then you move on to some ridiculous hypothetical about Da Vinci creating a sequel to a masterpiece and it being terrible. If Mona Lisa was part of a series of paintings with the same theme and all were meant to be enjoyed alongside one another, then sure.

That. Is. Not. What. Happened.

It was top-tier television and storytelling. Then it wasn’t. The show’s stature suffers from seasons 7/8 being such poor television and storytelling. That’s why it’s great, but not the greatest. If I ever rewatched the series, I wouldn’t watch the final two seasons. What other shows lauded as GOAT fit that bill? Yeah, probably none. Which is why it’s great, but not the greatest.

jeopardy was so good(even though it wasn't) for the first 26 seasons. but the last season of jeopardy just ruined the whole thing for me.

i think zurvan and donk know. but you never have to pm me. i check the thread more often than pms

See? THIS is trolling.

If [redacted] is what I think it is, then I definitely would have **** on it. (I guess maybe if you pick it in the final round, it would have been fine.)

I actually think IRTM could have gotten away with the NFL had he just gone with Sunday Night Football, which would have been the steal of the first round.

Jeopardy is okay, but I question the rewatchability. Still a much better pick than LOL Game of Thrones.

BB/Sopranos was a great 1-2 punch. I think the only reason either of them lasted as long as they did is probably because dramas don't really have the rewatchability factor that comedies do. BB is a great show, but I have no real desire to watch it again any time soon, and you don't tend to put on a random episode the way you do with comedies.

Sopranos is the exception tho. GOAT.

BUT WHAT IF FILTHY DECIDES TO MAKE ANOTHER SEASON OF THE SOPRANOS. WHAT THEN???

As with IASIP, when I finish the final episode of The Sopranos, I almost always immediately start over.
