Both started out great. There are a lot of cool plot lines and themes you cannot wait to come together then they both just ignore them.  Im amazed lost was that high. I’d rate them both a 4 in the context of the entire series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to include it but didn't want NERM to see it prior to watching the first season. That one hits like a ton of bricks.   Feel free to discuss anything you like about it.  I probably will not check Mad Men out in the next couple months.  I have quite a few other shows that I will catch up on over the Summer, before I add a long series.  I'm not worried about spoilers from series that wrapped up a long time ago.  Reading an article about how disappointed fans were about the Sopranos final episode was one of the things that prompted me to watch the show last year.  I still loved it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 There are entire Reddit communities (And let's not even get into the 4chan world) filled with people whose one goal in life is to **** up a show or movie's IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes rating. There was a ****ing movement to ruin the Ghostbusters reboot and to call Leslie Jones the N-word on Twitter. Â Getting caught up in this stuff is beyond silly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 On 5/20/2019 at 11:21 PM, Nerm said: The citizens of King's landing were not collateral damage in a battle.  They were the victims of probably the worst atrocity ever committed in their world (I'm guessing, as I don't know the history of Westeros).  Once the surrender happened, Danny decided to commit mass murder on a scale that was horrific.  She became far more evil than Cersei at that point.  She had to be stopped.  Jon did the right thing.  Nah, her ancestor did the same exact thing to Harrenhal when he first came to Westeros. He used his burning of Harrenhal and everyone inside as an example to the other Kings who had yet to surrender. The Stark King chose to bend the knee than subject his people to the same fate. Maybe Dany thought her doing the same to Kings Landing would bring the same result, but I doubt it....she was just angry. Her words in the finale are just her coming to terms with what she did and justifying it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bent the knee. I think a huuuuuuuuuge part of the Starke ethos is that you keep a vow - even in the face of all logic. Ned thought Jamie was a scoundrel in part because he was a Kingslayer - even though Ned was in rebellion against the king and played a role in killing the heir.  Ned didn't know the reason Jaime killed the king.  He assumed it was Jaime picking the winning side, instead of preventing King's Landing from being burned down.    Ned kept Jon's heritage from Robert. Its like what Jaime alluded to that bathtub scene with Brienne about conflicting vows.  Protect the realm or obey the king/queen? You can't do both.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 LOST now wouldn't be NEARLY as fun to watch as it was back when it aired. Half the fun was discussing and dissecting the mysteries on the internet between each episode. That show was awesome watching it as it aired instead of binge watching it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently tried to get my girlfriend to binge it and it's just not the same. The weekly debate about what the smoke monster was or who the Dharma folks were was so much fun. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost is good, if you aren't a whiny **** that complains why Hurley is still fat, 4 seasons into the show (pretty sure that became an episode).  And yeah, its probably better if you dont binge this one. I did, and I remember like half of what actually went on. I think you retain more info when you have a week to dwell on each ep. Edited May 24, 2019 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
