Game of Thrones

Not sure mate.

To be honest, ratings count for absolutely nothing in terms of the quality of a TV show.

Don't know what to think of Bran not being in this season. I've never liked his characters or his story arc, but the way it ended last season was...interesting.

 

Isn't the Big Bang Theory the most highly rated comedy? And it's worse than * dreadful. Viewing figures mean * all. Are One Direction the best band in the world now as well?

 

Spoiler

Have a feeling they'll save his brother also.

 

You're rating the tv shows on viewership alone? I'm pretty sure you have to pay extra for HBO and TWD is on a free cable channel which massively effects the numbers.

It's like saying Eastenders is better than a program on sky because more people watch it. If more people have access to the show it will get more viewers. Wikipedia only takes into account how many people watch the show in the U.S. Not worldwide.

You're being silly if you think TWD has anywhere near the fanbase that Game of Thrones has. Sorry

 

Just finished watching the first two episodes of series 5. I think this has the potential to be the best one yet.

The Brienne/Podrick story seems a bit unneccessary. I dont think anyone really cares what happens to them. I'd just leave Sansa to Little Finger. She's really not worth the hassle. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Spoiler

The *' Mannis


Noticed a couple of mentions of both Lyanna Stark and Jon Snow's * status, definitely revving up to confirm the R+L=J theory.

Also I googled the wee guy that plays Tommen, he's 17 the jammy wee *! Natalie Dormer is something else. Best line of the four episodes was her "I only wish we could bring you some wine, it's a bit early in the day for the rest of us" to Cersei.

 

Decentish episodes but nothing major happened really. Still moving along at snails pace.

 

A couldn't agree more, Game Of Thrones is definetly the better quality made show, actually the first 4 seasons have been near perfection. But it doesn't mean it's the better show for everyone, as The Walking Dead is a * of a lot of fun, with some great storylines and got some excellent characters as has GOT.

There has been some great tv shows that haven't received the ratings they deserve. Firefly was one we were talking about the other day, was a quality show but canceled because of ratings. I was just pointing out TWD Is more popular among the people.


Am going to watch the season 4 finale just before the new episode later to refresh the memory. Who is everyone's favourite character? My favourite is John Snow.

 

Surely if a tv show is getting such record breaking figures like The Walking Dead has though, it's got to be considered a great show? Nobody is going to sit for an hour and watch * on the tv if there not enjoying it:smiley-laughing002:

 

Spoiler

I think so yea. For a character like that, I think they would actually show him dying. To "do him justice" if you know what I mean.

 

Yep think you could be right there. Gutted though, he was an excellent character.




To the people that's watched all 4 episodes that's been leaked, without any spoilers, how has the season been so far?

 

I did the exact same thing with Tommin.

 

Anyone have a link to episode 3? The ones on Streamhunter and Couchtuner work but they're a bit jumpy (they're not buffering so I don't know what's causing it).

 

HBO has always been subscription. The clue's in the name.

HBO says GoT is watched by 18 million people weekly, when factoring in HBO Go and On Demand, and is also comfortably the most illegally downloaded tv series, with another 8 million dowloading it each week through bitorrent.

But like we say, ratings mean * all. People enjoy absolute *.

It's clearly the better tv show, I don't see how anyone can disagree.

 

Metacritic

Game of Thrones - 94, 9.2 (Season 4, highest rating)
The Walking Dead - 82, 8.3 (Season 1, highest rating)

IMDb

Game of Thrones - 9.5
Walking Dead - 8.7

No contest.

 

Game of Thrones averaged 18 million gross weekly viewers for Season 4 (on a subscription channel). The most recent season of The Walking Dead averaged 18.4 million (and it's free). Factor in illegal streaming and downloads and it's not even close. In terms of how they've saturated pop culture, Game of Thrones has had far and away the most impact.

 

Bunch of fanboys, can you not just enjoy one (or both) shows without caring which one is better :smiley-laughing002:








PS. Game of Thrones is better

 

That above just proves what I said, that Games Of Thrones Is better. What that above doesn't prove is that GOT has more viewers. That was the point

That right aye? Prove it. Show me the link you got these numbers from.

Here mine, from wiki, US viewers only...

Game Of Thrones highest watched episode is only 7,200,000.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_of_Thrones_episodes

The Walking Dead highest watched episode is 17,290,000.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Walking_Dead_episodes

Waw that is huge! 10m more viewers. But the average TWD episode is way higher that GOT highest episode:smiley-laughing002:

Now before people start talking * about HBO being a subscription channel. Please remember that HBO only starting being a subscription channel in the last 6months/year! So the channel was free during all GOT seasons, if not then definitely the first 3 seasons, which got very low rating around as little as 3m average.


Just because a think Game Of Thrones is the better show, doesn't mean am blind to the fact The Walking Dead is more popular like some.

 

Ps it wasn't about what show was better

 

Not loads of action, it's setting up multiple storylines and I'm excited about them all
