Yeah, the consensus everywhere is "Don't watch Dexter", so I definitely won't haha!

Is it worth watching season 1 or does it end on a cliffhanger?  I'm not going to invest time for nothing.

Honestly, the first four seasons of Dexter are absolutely worth watching. The show is pretty good about isolating plot arcs to seasons, especially early on, so you can easily watch the first three without cliffhangers. Season 4 is the best season the show ever got, and it ends on a... sort of cliffhanger? Like, it definitely leaves some questions unanswered, but it still makes for a good stopping point. I would definitely recommend watching Dexter and continuing through the end of season 4.

Pretty much agree with what everyone else has been saying, the writing took a nose dive since they ran out of books to follow. D.B Weiss and David Benioff are completely incompetent and the only reason they are the shot callers is because of their hollywood connections, completely incompetent. Even in the seasons which were fantastic and mostly followed the books they added needless modern day political commentary and extra sex and altered scenes, so it came as no surprise to me that as they gained increased freedom with the script the show would suffer even more. That being said it's still interesting and I'll finish watching it just to see how they wrap things up or if they can wrap things up completely. I'm dissapointed with Martin's nihilist version of Tolkien's universe in some respects, it's evident in the fact that the giants, the children of the forest, the dragons, everything magical is dying from westeros. So nothing this season has really surprised me, we'll see though!
 
It took until the end of season 5 for me to realize they actually started to run out of material. I didn't know the source material wasn't finished. But when I was told it made perfect sense. Jamie's trip to Dorne felt like filler written by fanboys.

Season 7 ep 6 is still the worst one imo. That episode made anti-sense.

Yup, pretty much how I feel about it. Dexter is far from my fav show, but to anyone planning on watching Dexter: For the love of God, stop after season 4, cliffhangers be damned. Season 3 was kinda lame too, but somewhat worth watching 'cause of season 4. In the case of GoT you can't say that. Knowing how it all goes downhill afterwards, especially after season 6, I can't see myself watching GoT ever again. It's too disappointing. Perhaps The biggest disappointment in fiction history. Up there with Mass Effect 3. And the Star Wars prequels.
 
I really enjoyed episode 5

Game of Thrones will never touch that.  And even BB doesn't.

This has to be trolling

Only seen season 1 of B5, and keep hearing good stuff about it. I know the cg is outdated but still wanna check it out.

Ep 5 was terrible. Sure it looked good; the best description I've heard so far is "disaster porn".

Not gonna spoil anything, but to anyone who is up to date: Think about Jaime's character arc in the latest 2 seasons (or any other character really). It's so #¤@% dumb. You can pretty much sum it up in 1 sentence.

Can't wait for this to end. Season 7 was bad. Season 8 has been a disaster.

CG was never the driving force behind B5.  They did set some records at the time for stuff like number of objects concurrently on-screen, but that was never their goal.  If/as you watch, keep in mind that the most seemingly innocuous of events/statements can have empire-changing ramifications two, three, or even four seasons later.  Example:

Londo speaking to Vir:  You moon-faced assassin of joy.


BB =?
 
I feel sorry for you guys who can't enjoy it. Must suck!

Not gonna lie, it sucks to be this disappointed. I can still enjoy "bad" movies, like, lets say, any MC movie, if I know what I'm in for. Just turn your brain off and enjoy the kabooms. The reason this doesn't work for GoT is how it started. If GoT had the same crappy writing since season 1 I could probably still enjoy it. IF I started watching it in the 1st place that is, which I probably wouldn't 'cause of the crappy writing.

I agree with DLPB. It's honestly depressing that entertainment like movies and TV shows can get away with bad writing like this. Show a dragoon destroy a city and your safe ("OMG so shocking!!"), logic and character motivation be damned.
 
Not as much as realizing that the majority can because of their chronic lack of an IQ.  That depresses me far more.

The majority can enjoy it because there are far more important things taking place in their lives than a TV show. It's entertainment, it's not an important matter.. I see you bring up lack of IQ so often in your posts... You really believe yours is above average? "my opinion" "my review" "I would have done this" "I would have done that" no one gives a shit. Which TV show have you written? Which of your scripts have been given life? If your opinion carried any weight, you wouldn't have the need to share it on this forum while claiming everyone who disagrees with you only does so because they're not as intelligent. You're an extremely basic human being with an unjustified ego.
 
I'd probably convince you even more if I spent my days crying about videogames and series online and insulting everyone who doesn't agree. You're basic. Your "LOW IQ Q.Q" posts are basic and you're not half as smart as you think you are, which is a common occurrence for idiots.

Edit: Don't give yourself an headache trying to come back with an intelligent response that ends up requiring as many edits as your IQ number (see? we can all do it, it's easy shit). You've been given more of my time than you were ever worth and therefore, I'm done.

Hopefully the momentum isn't killed yet, and we can continue to discuss our maaaaany thoughts on this beloved series. I'm just waiting until the series finale to chime in on my disappointments.

This mentality is good to have in general. I've seen many premature judgements bite them in the a** later. But in the case of GoT I think it is reasonable beyond any doubt that they can't possibly salvage the story. There is too much damage done. There have to be a miracle.
 
GRRM will probably die before he releases WOW, and we'll have to deal with his estate (like Tolkein's) stringing us along for decades. Or maybe they'll hire D&D to flesh it out with spinoffs?
 
Best case scenario is they hire Brandon Sanderson to finish it like they did with the wheel of time series.
