Best episode of Television in 2013

[Alexander The Great]

that Ray Allen's 3 was just as devastating as the red wedding or Chalky's daughter catching that bullet

ya nikkas is bugging saying the only time rains of castemere was dope was how it ended, that entire episode was piff start to finish

- Daario, Jorah and Grey Worm Infiltrating Yunkai and going in on all the slave soldiers before opening the main gate for the rest of daenarys army. That entire battle sequence was dope
- Queenscrown. Bran helping out jon by warging into Summer when the wildlings were getting ready to kill him, Jon killing Orell, Orell Warging into the eagle before death and attacking Jon. Bran wargin into HODOR, conforming he can get his charles xavier on
-Then the entire Wedding front to back, people also forget about arya coming so close to reuniting with her family only for the chance to be taken away from her that shyt was heartbreaking

its all opinions, but rains of castemere was dope front to back

I didn't say it wasn't dope. I said it wasn't a stand-out episode of "GoT" aside from the ending. And it wasn't.

Let's put it like this. Let's say the episode ended with Daenerys taking Yunkai. Would we still be talking about that episode as a best of 2013 contender? No. Let's be real here. That don't mean it's a wack episode....but we ain't talking about "dope" episodes....we're talking about the best.

Rains of Castemere.

Great episode climaxed by the best moment in television history

Ozy comes close with its front to back greatness. Really it is just bad timing for Breaking Bad, would be #1 almost any year in memory

I'm sure I could cut 8 minutes out of Ozy too and make the same statement

Besides the obvious big 2 mentioned in here....

I LOVED "The Better Half" from Mad Men.

The Parks & Rec episode where Ben and Leslie got married was pretty great too.

Nah you really couldn't. Don't believe me? Go re-read the "GoT" thread the day "Castamere" aired, then go re-read the "BB" thread the day "Ozymandias" aired. It's like night and day. Nobody was losing their mind until the wedding scene started. People lost their mind from the scene after the first commercial break, to the end of the episode for "Ozymandias".

The fact that the episode is referred to as "The Red Wedding" should be a big ass clue what the focus of it was. Nobody calls it "Warging Into Hodor".

And for the record at people getting offended at what I said. It's a great episode elevated by it's ending. People are acting like I said it's a wack episode aside from the last 8 minutes.

Mad Men had an amazing run at the top of the year. The greatest respect you can pay to that show is that there is almost not a standout episode because theyre all so fukking good.

Really and truly though, that Dexter finale Amazing

Dexter? You have got to be fukking kidding me? One of the worst episodes of the year. Dex a damn lumber jack was an insult to the series and that Miami metro in 8 seasons never solved a damn case.

 

[Francis White]

Breaking Bad episode all the way. Red wedding second. Felina is third .

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

ozymandias was good, but i thought to hajiilee was more memorable. watching walt in the desert, realizing he fukked up and that jessie outsmarted him
Than hank after handcuffing walt with the until the nazis showed up

imo ozy isnt on the same level as that ep, and def not as memeroable

I read the threads. Groupthink was already in full effect because critics were saying was the best before it aired. Furthermore, the biggest moment occurred at the beginning so of course people were hyped from the jump. A moment people waited a full week for resolution.

I mean, we are splitting hairs here but you are blatantly framing your reasoning in a bias way

 

[Recca Gatsby]

LOL at all the spoilers in here, thank God I am keen to all the top ten shows at all times.

Is this dude serious? "Group think"?

"GoT" was a hit years before anybody was watching "BB". Stop acting like you're championing some indie unheard of show.

And at "critics were saying it was the best before it aired"....no they weren't because the ep didn't even go out to critics until the night it aired. So the reviews were after it aired. The only person that said it was the best was Vince Gilligan, which only heightened expectations.

Lastly, G.R.R. Martin said the next season of "GoT", which ain't even aired yet, has zero chance of competing with "Ozymandias" in any kind of critical setting. Let that sink in. The man that created the show you're championing has conceded it has no hope of ever fukking with "Ozymandias".

I guess he's biased too though.

I wasnt singling you out, someone else said it too. And it was the stand out episode of the entire season. I was
just saying dope but of course i think it was the best, and as you can see a lot of people agree

I can say the same about ozymondas, lets cut out the entire walt jr/walt/skylar sequence. You think it would still be the best episode of that season?

I loved that episode espicially the part i mentioned above, but IMO the rains of castemere is the best episode of 2013
