I don't know.

Leftovers season 2 was better than GOT season 5 and 6.

I also thought it superior to Mr. Robot.

I can't claim to have watched House of Cards, but I know it was considered a huge step down and generally not good.

Sorry, had to return to this, because I just realized the magnitude of what you're implying here.
The show didn't get nominated in even a single category in either Emmy or Golden Globe awards in two years straight, and you're saying it should have won as best show over every other show?
Jamie Vardy got nominated for Ballon d'Or, and if someone told me he should have won, I would tell them no, but at least some people deemed him worthy enough to be a contender, so ok.
What you're trying to imply is like saying, Chicharito Hernandez should have won the Ballon d'Or over Cristiano Ronaldo.

leftovers better than GOT s05 and s06? :thumbsdown: even tho i liked the show and season 2 in particular with Do you want to feel this way waynes scenes but
Battle of the bastards and that last episode in Kings Landing alone were better than the leftovers
but thats just your opinion

I'm really not. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I'm saying that many people thought The Leftovers was unfairly left out at the Emmys, and I also feel that S2 of The Leftovers was superior to GOT S5 and 6 and Mr Robot season 1.

Please don't sacrifice me in your strawman, Lord Razvalinho.

S5 of GOT was really quite poor. The plot makes little sense considering the previous seasons, the acting wasn't as good, it was all style and flash and little substance.

I preferred Hardhome to BOB. BOB had shaky foundations from the get-go (oh lol I'm biggest sadist in Westeros but I'm going to keep Rickon pristine lol despite him being my one threat to lordship of north lol) Episode 1 of S6 was fucking dreadful on every single level. "Oh, here's Doran, he's a big deal, oh wait, he's dead because this woman is avenging his brother by murdering his family ... oh, and here's Areo, we built him up as a big deal fighter, but he never uses his weapon and he dies by the ol' fork in the spine" Oh, and let us not forget Mrs. Bad Pussy. I mean, let's get rid of Arianne, but let's keep Mrs. Bad Pussy and the slappy sisters. "OH BUT BRONN GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!!" who cares.

What utter shit. The only good thing about every episode up until The Door was Balon. Yes, I'm serious. His acting in that 5 minute segment was better than everything else up until The Door. Beyond that, it was good.

GOT season 6 one of the most epic seasons in TV history, but Chicharito fans disagree :lol:

S6 had some very shaky foundations because of the crapfest that was S5, and was not good until The Door. After that, it was far better and had some stellar episodes. It still had shaky foundations. Its entire plot was pretty much "We should have done this last year, but we were too busy giving Jaime a tan and getting Bronn some mischievous vagina. Oh, and Stannis? Yeah, we just didn't really like him, so we sent him out to scout out what Jon would do a season later. Lol classic us" Oh and Shirley? We've shown that R'hlor works, but she just dead lol.

I am.

But that didn't stop me from loving Hardhome or The Door.

Perhaps it was but it had shaky foundations. Rickon should have been killed the moment he was handed over. Tormund should have been killed by Umber. Jon should have been killed in the cavalry charge, the crush and by Ramsay at the end. Ramsay can shoot Wun-Wun in the eye but repeatedly hits Jon's shield?

it surely is the reason... from what ive seen , all the book readers were disappointed with the last 2 seasons maybe cz you were expecting more character development ? or other characters who the show didnt have time to do ? or cz theyre rushing with things so sometimes it didnt make sense?
i dont know and its not the point ..
people who do not read the novels were all satisfied with the show as it is.. so who knows.
--
As for Rickon , dont you know Ramsey by now ? he likes torturing his victims ( psychologically ) and rickon is far more valuable to him alive as a prisoner then dead ,he can always use him as leverage to bargain or like he did to destabilize Jon :cry:

Yeah but there are book readers who were satisfied and non-book readers who weren't.

I do expect character development, I don't know why one wouldn't.

Some choices annoyed me.

I don't get the 'didn't have time' argument when they went so far astray with S5 and then doubled back with 6. Sure, don't show Brienne with Dick Crabbe, but other stuff shouldn't have been cut.

Oh yeah, just like how he kept Fat Walda and his brother alive? Right?

No, he killed them because it was logical. And then doesn't kill Rickon because he likes torturing him?

Ramsey kept Rickon alive because he wanted to lure Jon Snow into fighting him. Jon sure as hell wouldn't go after Ramsey without the prospect of getting Rickon back. You can see that saving Rickon is more important to him than killing Ramsey. It's just who he is. He is his father's son after all. Honorable to a fault.
And on the subject of character development... If you've read any longer book series similar to this on, you must have noticed in later books the pace quickens, there is no time for character development anymore, the characters are formed, now is the time for action, for the plot to come together and resolve in an epic clash. I have to point to one of my favorite book series, The Wheel of Time. The first third of the series we get to know the world, the characters, what they're like, the foundation of the plot, the seeds of what is to be resolved only at the very end. The second third is all about character development and building on the plot foundations. The final third is a heart thumping action sequence that moves at breakneck speed. Plot points get resolved rapidly, none get formed anymore, time for that is over. Characters are fully fleshed out and are in the final sprint.
Game of thrones entered that final phase with season 6 and if you didn't like it, I'm afraid it's only gonna get worse for you, because the pace is only gonna go up from here on out.

I've got a game of thrones question...as I'm not sure to start watching it or not. for those who have/do watch it, your thoughts considering the following:

I heard there was a very graphic rape scene on the show...so graphic that people complained about it.

I'm not really interested in watching that, so I have no issue forwarding through it and/or skipping an entire episode even to get passed that.

but is there a lot of graphic sexual violence throughout the series in general? the show sounds awesome (it's got dragons!) but I figure if I'm going to have to skip every other episode because of all the raping going on, well then no problem, i'll just not start watching the series

thanks!

Theres really only one rape scene throughout the entire show which was pretty intense for some ( mostly cz of plot reasons ) its about 2 mins so you can easily skip it :)
A lot of nudity and porno graphic scenes tho

I think you're forgetting the first one cause it got sorta positive feedback from women who want more assertiveness.


Ragazza, if you watch the show, I don't think you will worry about the rape ;)

The rape scene isn't even bad.

It's not graphic.

How people can complain about that and not about something else in Season 4 boggles my mind.

OK that doesn't sound as bad as I had heard. I was thinking it was like the girl with the dragon tattoo movie...

 
which not only had a graphic rape scene but then she returned for revenge and played a video of the rape in the background



I don't think you will worry about the rape ;)

are you referring to the overall level of violence in the show? well that's a concern I have too...if we're talking about constant graphic torture and mutilation scenes I just may have to forgo watching GOT


How people can complain about that and not about something else in Season 4 boggles my mind.

*makes mental note*
