Battlemage! said:It's not perfect but there has never been anything of this scope on tv. It's up there with Breaking Bad in terms of quality in my opinion, but nothing in tv surpasses it when it comes to the vastness of its scope.
Oh certainly. But the scope is far greater, which evens that out I think. I think Peter Dinklage and many others with smaller parts have done well enough to rival some of that, but no one can beat Bryan Cranston.Pythagorean said:While I love GoT, I don't think the quality of the acting for some characters is on par with Breaking Bad. Particularly Dany and Sansa.
Yes! I thought Ramin Djwadi brought his musical score to ever greater heights during the opening scene. The CGI, sets, costumes, ensemble cast and direction are all going to bring in new batches of Emmys, IMO. Here and there the writing was a bit sketchy, but I'm willing to overlook that and wait for George RR Martin's next novel to set that part straight.Bandersnatch said:Have you seen the latest episode? A new meaning to King's Landing. Lol.
