Igziabeher Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 1. Season 1- it's what hooked me from episode 1, I can still rewatch the whole season and still be entertained. 2. Season 4- I even like the show only plots in thus season, has the best mix of source material and tv only stories.3. Season 5- started off slow, but ended strong. Glad to see more White Walkers being used as they're the allure of the first episode and think ghe books underused them.4. Season 2- love blackwater, love dragonstone, everything else is meh to me.5. Season 3- should've been the best on source material alone, but don't think it lived up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bironic Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Season 1 is the best and season 2 the worst(eventhough Blackwater was great), the others are in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafro987daboss Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Although seasons 2 and 3 only had around 4 or 5 'standout episodes' (2x9, 3x4, 3x5, 3x9), I find that these seasons capture the essence of political intrigue in a way that seasons 4 and 5 did not, so for this reason I rank them as- 3, 1, 2, 4, ...................5. I actually don't get why people say Baelor was the best episode ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord of Cinder Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Haven't rewatched in quite some time, but i feel pretty confident in my ranking.#1: season 1While the beginning is slow, this season feels like the one with the best pacing. It's just a really good season that can proudly stand amongst seasons of other great TV shows, only dragged down by a few awful "sexposition"-scenes. AGoT was the book best suited for adaptation, and it shows.#2: season 4As a book reader some of the changes made in this season bothered me, especially the omission of "wherever whores go" (sadly s5 made it clear why D&D omitted this) and Lady Stoneheart. But they still managed to adapt huge parts of what made the latter half of ASoS so amazing. The Hound and Arya were fantastic, KL shone this season, and I will forever be mad at GRRM for killing Oberyn Martell. But let's just ignore that the Beetle speech ever happened. I haven't rewatched this one after season 5, so my newfound cynicism and nitpickeryness may not do this season any favors.#3: season 3Dragged greatly down by Theon torture porn, Robb and Talisa's sugarsweet love clichés, and overall slowness, which was no surprise when the entire season is based roughly on the first half of ASoS. Still a bit disappointed with how they handled the Red Wedding. While certainly memorable and shocking in the show, it never really recaptured the sheer terror and chilling atmosphere of the book scene. Highlight of this season is Jaime and Brienne, and the season has some absolutely beautiful episodes. Someone mentioned "Kissed by fire" earlier, and it's certainly one of the best episodes of the show.#2: season 2Much like ACoK, I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd liked to. Dany's story was painful, and the first episodes (not ep 3, though, that one is amazing) of this season were so ... odd, which also applies to the last episode. Blackwater was just pure splendor, and one of my favorite episodes of TV to date.#5: season 5Forgive us, father, for we must surely have sinned.

I strongly disagree with some of it, but impressive effort. My biggest gripes personally would be the high positions of The Children, the Lion and The Rose, and The Dance of Dragons. They'd all be a helluva lot closer to 50 than 1 in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedViperHD Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 From Best to Worst 2, 3, 1, 4, 5 I liked 2 a lot and Blackwater Bay was the best episode to date in my opinion. Season 2 had lots of Charles Dance and Stephen Dillane and I think those 2 actors gave a lot of great subtle acting during that season. I really liked 3, had lots of character depth all around and it had as difficult as it was to lose your protagonists, the Red Wedding did feel like an appropriate Greek Tragedy. Season 1 was really good but there was just too much expository dialog for it to be ranked above 2, 3. In fact, I wanted to rank season 4 above season 1, but a show like this has to be allowed to get away with a certain amount of expository dialog. Good intros to the characters but I felt that some of the performances fell a little flat (especially Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon- just way too cartoonish for my tastes.) Now I really did like season 4, but the first 4 or 5 episodes were really slow. Season 2 was really slow as well, but I felt like those episodes had a lot of really intelligent dialog and character building, and I felt that the slower parts of season 4 had less of that. I really liked Oberyn, and I really liked the fight vs the Mountain, but I imagined that even more intense than it appeared on the show. The attack on the wall was ok, I like it more the more times I watch it, but I thought it was a little flat at first. Arya and The Hound were entertaining all season. Brienne became very annoying. Season 5 was the worst. What else can be said? No story arcs, no character development, no intelligent dialog. The best parts of the season were delivered by Stephen Dillane and Kit Harrington and they're both dead now which leaves me for no hope for season 6. Brienne, Ramsay, Sansa, and the Sand Snakes were all really cartoonish and they all had so much screen time that it made for a really flat and cartoonish season. These characters were all "overexposed" by the amount of screen time they had. They are all 1 dimensional characters, that's fine as long as you have characters with depth around them but there are not too many of those left going into Season 6. I fear that if you take Season 5 and subtract the storylines of Stannis and Jon Snow and most of the characters around them then you'll have something that looks and feels a lot like Season 6. *throws up in own mouth* MORE Ramsay, MORE Brienne, MORE Sansa, MORE Sandsnakes. Sounds horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YuvalTheVal Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well: 3- Underrated. Has the best writing, best directing. This season is Magic. Everybody talks about Kissed by Fire and The Rains of Castamere. but The Climb is also one of my favorite epispodes ever.4- Adapting the most crazy part in the books, they did a really good job. intense, entertaining. Great television.2- Had a lot of good homour and expended the universe to some wonderful charcatcers. Also, best Tyrion season and Blackwater remains this series's best episode.1- For me it follows the book a bit too closely, and it feels a bit flat at times, like the acting is too subtle.5- Didn't hate it all, thought it was only "good". Still some wonderful scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Season 5 is by far the best season. 54312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aemon's counsel Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Okay, is it just me or it's always the current season that everyone hates? So many people were also whining about season 4, 3 and 2 when it was actual... However, one thing is certain; season 1 cannot be topped. It's pretty inevitable that the current season will always be the one that everyone hates given that Season 1 was brilliant and the show has seen a sharp decline in quality since Season 3.

Wendel Shoemaker Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 1 = 2 = 3 = 45 Not saying the show has dropped in quality, I rewatched the seasons recently and thought 1-3 were all about equal. 1 was great for setting the scene, 2 was great for new stories and political intrigue, 3 had a strong start with Danny and a great Jaime arc, 4 started out strong with Joffery dying and keeping the season going with Tyrion in peril, and 5 was okay. Last year season 4 was my favourite, that was before I read the books. This list is really flimsy though, because it's really hard to compare seasons. Each is 10 hours, and after 50 hours it's hard to remember what the 23rd hour was like, even when watching in succession. Only thing I can say for sure is seaon 5 was the worst, and season 4 had some iffy points but very strong points at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Vampyr Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 1.Season 1-due to its closer to the book2.season 4-Specifically Jons story and the last few episodes 3. season 2 battle of backwater and the second most well adapted season4. season 5 due to the again nights watch and the impending apocalypse feel and Tyrion's improvement from the book REALLY HATED DORNE!!!5. season 3 - hated Ramsay torture,Talisa, and even though it was a great scene the red wedding still hurts!

Ingelheim Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 4 3=1=5 2 Not a single season was bad. I just think Season 2 was pretty much ruined by Jon and Dany's arcs. The problem with Season 5, at least for me, it's not a drop in general quality, but a drop in quality with some arcs. Dorne was just plain bad. The same with Brienne. But the Wall or Meeren were pretty well handled if you ask me. The Wall storyline is the best handled so far on this show. Only Season 2 was bad.
