On the season 3 finale now. Dinklage crushes his role. Most (all?) are very, very good. I typically hate magic, dragons or any of that D&D crap but I am really into season 3. Zombies, giants, magic, dragons...some badass **** going on. I hope to finish this a week before school starts and then finish Show Me a Hero from HBO and restart Breaking Bad and finish that by the end of September or so.

Right now for me...
1) The Wire
2) Mad Men
3) Game of Thrones
4) The Sopranos

Breaking Bad...what other stud shows am I forgetting? I can't put Mr. Robot here yet because it's still so early on in the show.

Mr Robot season 2 has been *** thus far.

I'm with you. I'm not much a fantasy fan. GoT is fun as hell though. Unfortunately, I think you just watched the best season. Season 5 was the worst, imho. This last season (6) was very good with some of the best episodes of the series.

I hate that Deadwood is never on anyone's list. I know they ****ed it up by ending early, but what's there is so damn good. Best casting of anything I've ever watched, ever. The acting is phenomenal, in part because they put the exact right person in the perfect role.

I think a lot of what makes GoT so great is just how much $$$ is in it. I'm sure it's the most expensive television show to produce of all time. Gives you a movie quality feel from a TV series.

GRRM used to write for television and he said he started writing ASOIAF specifically to be something that could not be put on television because it was just too big and had too many characters and too many locations and too many special effects.

Kind of ironic.

I dunno how much HBO makes from GoT each year, but the last season could have easily been made into a Motion Picture format instead and fetch something like $400m at the Box Office worldwide.... CGI, acting, story, production value, etc... were superb.

This and all the hot T&A.
 
Damn. Loved the relationship between Arya and The Hound. I actually cried some during that last scene.
 
I should be able to totally catch up on GoT by next Monday. That then gives me almost three weeks to watch Breaking Bad.

GoT is sooooooo far superior to The Sopranos too imo. Like, it's not even close. I attribute the love fest for The Sopranos to two things. 1) America's love for Italian gangster movies/tv. 2) the psych component to it. Don't get me wrong. It was well done. But to call it one of the best television shows on TV history is silly to me.
