It's funny and kinda sad how the entire season 8 is in the last position
gotta have a very low iq for one to find the final season to be anywhere near good
@@YellowMisanthropist I think you gotta have very low iq not to "find the final season anywhere near good".... The story was really bad, but everything else was really good, (music, cinematography, editing and acting), and anyone with some iq know that there's more to it than the script

🤦♂️
Season 1 episodes deserve to be much higher...
Sure they were not as flash, no massive battles and the like, no "omg big dragons!" but the write was SOLID back then.
Counts for more than these flashy scenes imho.
Ya i agree. “Baelor” and “Fire and Blood” especially are masterclass television.
I agree;season 1 was definitely the best season and the episodes in it need more acclaimed and rewarded.
Yap, best season for me.
Gods the writing was strong then.
In my opinion season 1 is a close contender for best season. I cant quite decide between 1 and 4, but yeah season 1 episodes are Way to low On this list. In my opinion baelor was better than Battle of the bastards. Jon should have died during the first cavalry charge. He was standing still… during a cavalry charge…
Cough cough “plot armor” cough cough
The writing dipped so much in quality that Its sad. Season 1-4 was some of the best television ever made.
Also season 1 episode 7 set the bar for the show that game of thrones was going to be. Backstabbing and betrayal at every corner. I kinda feel like that gets Thrown away in later seasons.
4 of S4 are in top 10. Totaly deserved.
S4 best season ever
Season 1 tops all
@@eduardoperez3855 It really does, though I'm biased as a book fan because its the most faithful adaptation. Season 4 has some stupid moments (cough cough shirtless Ramsay scene cough cough) and some pacing issues (cough cough spoiling the reveal that Littlefinger poisoned Jon Arryn) and Shae's actions don't make sense (her sleeping with Tywin and pulling a knife on Tyrion)
@@jaimelannister1797 also no lady stoneheart, boring meereen plot
@@jaimelannister1797 jojens death as well
@@eduardoperez3855 true. Add that entire scene of bran arriving at the cave. Just wasn’t good to me. Meereen really annoys me because it could’ve been so much better if they added interesting characters like the Shavepate and Green Grace, but nope D&D thought Grey Worm and Missandei romance was more interesting 🙄
The memories man. Battle of the bastards was one of the last up close battles without the dragons in the show.
No, but John did have several sets of plot armour and sansa was a literal peanut
@@twigs4611 First of all what are you saying no to. Second its Jon. Third I wasnt talking about any character, especially not Sansa. But in the last season she was not that dumb.
@@caylajohnson8825 it was less of disagreement and more of a statement that the writing was terrible, the visual appearance was great but the episode and its lead ups were hugely overrated. When I was calling Sansa a peanut I was referring to her in the those episodes, but she is just as bad in season 8. Let me get this straight though I don’t hate Sansa she was an excellent character from season 1-4 but DND turn her into a turnip.
@@twigs4611 Like the battle at winterfell was just horrendous because you couldn't see anything. The night should've been killed by Jon. As much as I love Arya it shouldn't have been her. The last couple seasons the writing got worse and worse. Like DnD suck for just giving up on this show. Them saying Dany was going to go mad since the first season is bs. Me just thinking about makes my head hurt.
@@twigs4611 why would the writers bring Jon back just to kill him off again? Melisandre said he was brought back for a reason. Obviously we never learned that reason but still.

Episode "The Door"

Ok
I hate how accurate this is
Hodor
See worst part of that episode for me was the fact that I was so hyped I had a new episode of game of thrones to watch, on my 18th birthday 😭. Legit walked away from my computer after watching it like come onnnnnnnnn worst birthday gift ever 😂 (just cause it was sad not saying anything in particular about the episodes quality)
Hodor be like hold my door
All episodes from season 1 to 4 are truly masterpieces. I liked Battle of the Bastards and Hardhome but I prefer a solid writing before battles
The Winds of Winter has solid writing as well. I personally think that it was the best written episode of the last 4 seasons.

And no reason to call me a drama queen?! Doesn't make your point more valid
For me ot was The Rains of Castamere....That episode was the most unexpected of all them and I believe it left almost every GOT fans in shock and disbelief and that episode was just full of emotions and it showed the absolute power of the series.
I'm suprised how high season 7 is ranked.
Probably because of how entertaining it was, despite the poor writing.
@@TheSanchris77 Bruh what.
Anonymous The dialogue was pretty mediocre and the pacing was bad. I’d say it was still a solid 7.5/10 tho.
@@kvngslayer1242 I would give that for the series as a whole maybe. I had too many problems with S7 and 8, let alone 6.
Anonymous Well I mean Season 6 arguably has the 2 best episodes so i have no problem with it.
We live in a society where Beyond the Wall has the same rating as Kissed by Fire.
Beyond the Wall was trash. It's like watching the avengers: ice zombie edition. All your favorite heroes off to accomplish a stupid and impossible task, but it ends up being a nice journey of witty quips and "badass" fights against all odds with multiple deus ex machinas at the end to save every single character other than the nameless extras. It belongs in the can
@@domskillet5744 Not to mention the teleporting ravens and dragons. I get that dragons are supposed to be fast, but Westeros is the size of a small continent. How the fuck were they supposed to travel such a distance in so little time?
@@megashark1013 So Gendry ran probably 15 miles up and down hills through the snow, a raven flew from the wall to dragonstone, which is like 1000 miles away, then Dany flew the 1015 miles all the way back.... in a single night. Crazy that it isn't even in the bottom 3 worst episodes, it's embarrassing
@@domskillet5744 Then we have Kissed By Fire scored the same, despite it having what is quite possibly the best acted and written scene in the entire show, that being Jamie taking a bath.
Rediculous
The Long Night 7.4? Wow, this is waaay to high.
idk honestly i've seen worse episodes from some of the other shows with ratings 8.3, 8.5, but yeah long night was a turning point to a huge disappointment
the short night
Better 5.0 xdxdxd
The story goes worse from s 07.
@Hungti Visually? It was way too dark.
"A knight of the seven kingdoms" was probably the last good episode of this show
And when Brienne smiled, I smiled with her. She so much deserved the knighthood. And for making Ser Jaime realise this, Tormund is to be thanked.
No because season 7 wasn't great as well. Winds of Winter is the real end of the show
@@alvarortega01 Meh the first episode of series 8 was fine as well. The problem with these episodes is that they just don't do much for the story. That would usually be fine but when we're told that there are 6 episodes left in the series and they still haven't wrapped up much of the many plot threads in the first 2 episodes, it's incredibly worrisome. As it turns out, our worst fears were met.
That episode sucked too. Her character is trash in the show
Actually the last 'good' episode was episode 10 of season 4.
After that the show fell apart.
If Season 8 was ranked so poorly, then Season 7 episodes should be ranked lower than they are.
@POU Some sense ? The whole plot of S7 is devoided of logic, Tyrion becoming stupid, the unbearable love story between Jon and Dany, the "LeT's ShOw CeRsEi A wHiTe WaLkEr" plot or the character travelling miles and miles in like 10 minutes... Season 7 would be the worst one if Season 8 hadn't come right after
@Sanyam Kumar Beyond the wall might be one of the worst in the entire series, deserves maximum 3.5 rating.
@@arthur1161 I wouldn't call it unbearable, the chemistry was great their moments were great. I just all happened to quickly over the span of 4 episodes.
@@italianodblaugrana3842 the actors were good, the vfx was good, the music, everything was pitch perfect except for the god-awful writing which truly was unbearable
@POU Season 7 has zero sense. Cersei becoming Queen and everyone accepting her is illogical. Even when Tywin is alive, majority of Westeros Lords want to dethrone Lannisters. They couldn't do it only because Tywin is powerful leader and Lannister has wealth and powerful army. Lannister lost all their allies which are Tyrells, Freys and Boltons. Dorne also became enemy. In conclusion, Cersei has zero supporter and everybody is his enemy but show behave like she is undisputed Queen. Robert Baratheon was indeed undisputed king but he feared Viserys only because Khal Drogo support. Daenerys united all Dothraki Khalasar and has 3 dragon. Every lord in Westeros would support Daenerys instantly in real case scenario.
Beyond the Wall and The Dragon and the Wolf were regarded FAR too highly on here
Beyond the wall = worlds dumbest idea + teleportation...so i agree +1.
Battle of Bastards as well. This episode is overrated.
@@AcxD93
The battle was good but the dialogue between Sansa and Jon was dumb as fuck
Don’t do what he wants you to do
Okay, what is it?
I don’t know
@@AcxD93 nah. Battle of bastards is really amazing.
@@anonymousman1282 it was a good battle, but it was definitely not a GOT battle. When GRRM was writing his battle scenes, every move you made had serious consequences, as well as every countermove. In the Battle of the Bastards, where D&D are the main writers, and GRRM isn’t in the picture as much, this battle is much more fairytale, where the leader makes a stupid move or gets trapped in a bad situation, yet inevitably gets saved by a really powerful force that completely changes the tide of the battle. There are no real consequences of Jon’s decision to try and save Rickon and getting trapped in the the middle of the battle, so this is too much of a typical fantasy battle, rather than more realistic battles that GRRM wrote.
I just remember watching Hardhome after a long day of work, and that episode just completely blew my mind! It was insane how it suddenly went from a peaceful visit beyond the wall, to absolute carnage.
How is reins of castamier not one it’s the most iconic scene in tv history
Beceause the show (or most of it at least) is iconic , and honestly The Winds of Winter wins beceause of how much great scenes it had .
@Hungti Battle of bastards is nowhere nearrrrr rains of castamere's level
It tied for the top
@Hungti yeah but when you have 5 minutes of an amazing, shocking moment and then 20+ minutes of good looking cow pat that ultimately ends up meaning nothing, it doesn't feel particularly brilliant to have BoB and TwoW so high in comparison to objectively better written episodes.
Enjoy them all you want but they are, as a fact, worse than many of those rates lower.
@Hungti admittedly I read your comment wrong. Sorry about that :)
Both our points stand the same I just seem to have lost my ability to read with my easter sickness.
I'm not even surprised that "Hardhome" is in top 3. It was an incredible episode !
I loved it too and still do like watching it now and then, but it has been ruined a bit in retrospect after season 8 made that final stare down from the night king to Jon mean absolutely nothing.
It is also filled with battle cliches like the White Walker stabbing the Thenn instantly but using blunt force on Jon and pointlessly throwing him around. And of course walking too slow, as all bad bosses must to buy the main character just enough time.
Still. It was a thrill when it came out and for a good few years after.
that final staredown between jon and night king while the dead arise gives me chill the first time i watch it
Sorry but way too many episodes for season 7 were near the top of this list. How does a episode like The Climb end up so low for instance? And no way should a great episode like Two Swords which was the best premiere episode for a new season of the series be behind any season 7 garbage.
Every episode season 1-4 should be atleast 8,5 imo. Season 5 might reach 8 with some episodes, but most are just... mediocre. With one epic scene each. Season 6, I mean they got really cool moments too, but the story, dialogue and characters aren’t as good anymore. Ep 9-10 is like a 9 at most. The rest is 8. Season 7 is 7. Cool moments here and there, but most of the cool moments make no sense. Dialogue is getting worse and worse, and characters are... meh. Season 8 is all just 5 at most, perhaps a couple 2’s. Tyrion’s first line in season 8 is “Because I have a cock, and you don’t.” Kinda tells you what to expect
@5 Bags of Popcorn you do realize thats not anybody's job except the showrunners . We are the consumers . I will watch it because I'm attached to it and then form my view of it and It's really bad towards the end from my perspective
I will be honest. When season 7 was released , it didn't get any heat.
@@TamalCyrus That's True I thought I was the only one really dissatisfied with it
The most idiotic season 7 episodes so high on the ranks... God.
The Winds Of Winter will forever be my best Game of Thrones episode.
The direction in that episode is sublime.
@@dubbeking ikr
Nah not really it was trying too hard to be episode 10 season 1 ‘fire and blood’

Dany is the focus in the end of course
Cersei torture p*rn nonsense
Another new person on the Iron Throne (how surprising)
This
The sequence at the Sept was incredible, but the rest of the episode was meh. I can't put it too high cuz it's so inconsistent
I never liked that episode. The sept explosion is phenomenal from a visual and music perspective but to me it felt like D&D just killing off characters to get the show over with already, without actually being good endings for half of them. Margaery is a major character and yet she's just killed off like an extra.
Then Cersei's crowning makes no sense in world and her "I'm violent cus it feels good" felt out of character. Up until this point her violence has been portrayed as being her ways of protecting her children. And there's no way she'd actually get away with being crowned. The smallfolk should be tearing her apart for blowing up a religious site, killing the queen, and kinslaying. And they already despise Cersei. They would be rioting. The lords of Westeros would all be marching on King's Landing to depose her. She has no legal claim to the throne, and lacks the army to back up her claim
Jon Snow's crowning while being good fan service also makes no sense in world and for his character. His character this season is about failure, he constantly fails, building up to him ultimately failing to save his brother Rickon and lose the battle of the bastards until the Vale army shows up. And then he's just rewarded for this by being crowned King in the North. It feels like a 180 from his entire character this season being about failing. Then from an in world perspective it makes literally no sense. Jon Snow is a bastard, a night's watch (the northmen should be trying to execute him) and lost the battle against Ramsay. Meanwhile Sansa is the only known surviving legitimate child of Eddard Stark, and through her alliance with Littlefinger won the battle. They should be crowning her. The northmen would pick a daughter over an oathbreaking, bastard anyday of the week.
So yeah that's why I don't like "The Winds of Winter" from a writing standpoint. Its good fan service and has amazing cinematography, music, and directing though.
The fact that the bottom 6 is the entire Season 8, being the finale is very last, is just fantastic. Great job, Dip and Dipshit.
How show-ruining garbage like "The Long Night" and last decent episode "A knight of the seven kingdoms" have almost the same rank is just plain awfull
You know what bugged me the most. Throughout the entire series they spoke about the long night. In my head I thought it was a literal long night. They spoke about it throughout the series how the long winter night lasts long. Meanwhile this "long night" happens in one episode and it's just a normal night. The hell
Connector episodes tend to have low ratings, add to that that that episode is from season 8 and you have it
knight of the seven kingdoms had the best ranking of season 8, but people lowered it when next episodes came out
Gotta be trolls that will just instantly hate anything to do with season 8
the long night more like the short night
Probably the only reason why some episodes from season 5,6,7 are ranked higher than those from previous seasons is because bunch of new people started watching the show after season 3/4, who lack critical thinking and prefer fan service over good writing.
In “And now his watch is ended”: “Drogo has fallen ill from a fresh battle wound” bruh Drogo has been dead for 2 seasons lmao
In battle of bastards, Jon snow rising his sword against his enemy groups. That scene with that BGM, made me 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awful scene
Awful battle
I mean, that scene would have been great if he got killed by that cavalry charge. Very GoT style imo.
It was fucking awesome 🔥🔥🤗
The Choreography is good but the logic suck ass.
You are telling not even 1 of Ramsey soldiers rushing at Jon, Jon's man not running at him is understandable, but the enemies absolutely run at him.
The arrow rain fire, not a single one hit. Then get trample on by his man and the enemies as well, probably, somehow doesn't die from all that weight all heavily injured.
I kinda think the rains of cast a mere is the best episode, with the greatest moment in TV history (while of course it did originally come from the books)
I think ned stark's death is the most surprising and unconventional thing I've ever seen. Expected a last minute stupid pirates of the caribean style save. Never expected a likeable MC to die in the middle.

The high rankings of season 7 on IMDB are insane, they make me question how seriously I should take the website. People were too caught up in the hype. The last 3 episodes in particular are close to season 8 quality.
Agreed 100%!! People were indeed caught in the hype and that Brienne scene early on and the Episode 4 Spoils of War clouded people's jusgment of the season, the first half of season 7 is extremely mediocre at best and the last 3 episodes are garbage and def at season 8 level, the only good scene about those last eps was the wall falling and thats about it.
Even the 6 season episodes so high on this list makes me want to vomit
Believe me, IMDB is a total joke, and there is plenty of proof of that
@@joaopedrobernardo4846 Episode 10 you cannot say is overated. Did it have set up or dialouge heavy? no.

Arya returning to westeros to avenge the red wedding, Dany finally sailing to Westeros, Jon's parantage being revealed. The sept of Baelor...
@@bobbob-cd9ylyeah it was better than most of season 6 but it still had problems. For me it is not even in my top 20 episodes.

Yup
You are right only about Season 7, that season is dogshit.
Episode 9 and 10 of season 5 and 6 are pretty good.
@@aesir1ases64 I will disagree about episode 9 and 10 of season 5, because this was the first time they butchered a character, and in particular my favourite one, Stannis Baratheon. Not only they butchered his storyline and tried to make him look evil, but dumb and dumber decided to give his storyline to Jon and that made me even more upset. Ending of season 5 was the reason why we never got Stannis vs Roose in the first place. As for the ending of season 6, blowing up the sept was very lazy writing to get rid of many characters, while the religious cult never appeared again making the whole season 6 a bit pointless as there were no consequences for Cercei's actions.
Eerrr
Gonna give Hardhome a pass
the winds of winter is truly the best episode of the serie
What annoys me about winds of winter is, the music and the setpiece was incredible during Cersei's revenge, but it ultimately was endemic of what the show becomes... Theres no way in hell she could get away with blowing up the septum, the core of Westeros religion, without having to constantly stamp out dissent and revolts in kings landing, as well as all the other lords who'd go against her. No consequence occurs to the most extreme action that could've been taken, people kinda forgot she blew up the pope and the former queen loved by all.... That was a problem to tackle in season 7, yet they scrapped it.
This was where the show ended, an open book, Jons heritage finally acknowledged, Daenerys sailing to Westeros, Cersei beginning her reign of terror, Bran becoming the three-eyed raven, all these elements just dropped, I don't think I could ever go back to this show knowing ultimately these threads just go nowhere.....
Never forget HBO offered D&D extra seasons and writers and they said no. Interesting plotlines had to be thrown out the window cuz they were getting bored
Really? The show has made it pretty clear that the religion of the Seven is only weakly observed and that there is little love for the newest band of religious zealots. The High Sparrow is no Pope. He's a Torquemada. It is obvious that the Sparrows instituted order and terrorized people into compliance throughout S5 and S6. Hell, blowing up the Sept might have even gained Cersei some popularity. Anyone who touches everyone's most favorite institution, the brothels, will certainly not receive much love.
Jon's heritage drives a wedge between him and Daenerys and hastens her rampage, Daenerys suffers the fate of Napoleon, Robespierre and Hitler in one, Cersei actually reveals herself to be a rather capable ruler, holding against a much stronger opponent almost till the very end and being just one accurate shot away from being an outright winner, Bran becomes the 3ER and instead of doing some magic thingamajig uses it to better the entire realm as king... and you say these threads went nowhere?
@@SerbAtheist The high sparrow didn't create the Sept. The Sept was a staple of King's Landing and 1 of the most important landmarks in the country. Destroying the Sept is a massive deal but it was immediately shrugged off and never mentioned again. Jon's heritage didn't drive a wedge at all because "I dun want it," so it was ignored completely (Dany flipping from protecting the innocents for seasons to killing everyone for no reason in literally 1 episode, it wasn't at all built up to). Bran did nothing as the 3 eyed raven the whole season. Cersei literally just stared out of the window the entire season. It was a mess
You can't blame Winds of WInter for that tho, season 7 failed to show the consenquences winds of winter inacted huge events, but season 7 legit had no one reacting to the whole of house frey being killed by Arya, no one seemed to care that cersei blew up 25% of kings landing.
@@bobbob-cd9yl D&D werent good writers on their own, they were great at simplifying or streamlining the contents from the books to be more palatable but also more succinct, the problems with their style started showing its ugly face even back into season 4, tyrions former marriage forgotten or Catlyn stark being lady stoneheart being axed entirely,, by the time season 6 about, it became painfully obvious these guys did not have the skill to write complex events that ripple into everything else, the writing was trite and nothing new was formed in the wider respect, tyrion constantly only ever talked in past tense of things in previous seasons of what he did as though to show to audience memebers " see we know this character" but doing nowt with him.
With that writing style, how the fuck were they gonna account for the westeros equivalent of Mecca being blown up, season 2 literally existed as the consequence of Neds actions in season 1, these guys cant write macro scale stories
I think the reason why Season 7 is so highly ranked, is because 99% of these reviews were made, back when the episodes just came out, and everyone expected all the stuff from S7 to be setup for the last season. Things like Euron Greyjoy's supposed plans, Jon's heritage or Jaime's redemption arc.
And then... nothing happened. And now, in hindsight, we can see that the show had no direction, even back then, but the review-die has already been cast.

1. We gathered data and information from various sources.
Actually just IMDB. Go check if you don't believe me.
If people are wondering why Season 7 episodes are ranked so high, it's because back then, even though the show had dipped in quality, the general public were still invested in the show - it might have been dumb but...
1: we are talking about a general public, who have a different standard of quality than the more critical diehard fans of the show, and....
2: It was kinda running on the hype that the ending would make it all worth it. Many of these ratings were done by people flocking to the site as soon as the episodes came out, so many of these episodes are ranked by how good they were perceived at the time they were released, particularly in relation to later seasons.
IIRC, episodes 1 and 2 of Season 8 were rated higher when they came out, but when The Long Night came out, the ratings started to go down of those first two episodes as everyone on IMDB turned on the show in general.
Agreed 100%! Casual fans were still caught up in the hype and havent realize whats going on it, I was suspiscius but by the end I already knew the season was awful and was very worried about season 8 being an epic fail (it was).
Season 7 and 8 are basically one long (shitty) season, look at the last 3 episodes of S7 and compare with S8, its exactly the same kind of level.
@@aesir1ases64 For me, the moment the show really kicked the bucket was Tyrions plan to get the wight and show it to Cersei.
The last honest to god legit moment for me was Lady Ollenas Death scene. She's one of the very few characters that D&D managed to keep good throughout, which frustrates me because the effort and care they put into her character shows that they were still able to write compelling and smart dialogue, they just couldn't be bothered with the rest of it.
I've watched Game of Thrones thrice and I'd say "The Watchers on the Wall" Is probably the best among all.
The spoils of war is waaaay to high on the list. I loved when she finally used drogon (full force), but 5 place based on 1 scene......
Or maybe i'm just negative because i know what happens in the rest of the show.
Pretty shocking that ANY episode from season 7+ beats blackwater
The spoils of war is my TOP-1 episode of GOT. I cried
I was expecting 6x10 to be high up, but I was surprised to find it in first place! Well deserved, might I add - it's hard to choose a favorite episode in such an all-round amazing show, but The Winds Of Winter is even a tiny smidgen more awesome.
The winds of winter really was a masterpiece🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nah, it's shit.
The door eposide end made me cry 🥺
Petition to start Game of Thrones over from the end of Season 6 with a 4 season wrap up instead of 13 episodes.
I would argue going back further and remake s5 onwards but I suppose s5 and 6 are tolerable.
Episode like Hardhome and The Winds of Winter are great. Battle of the Bastard. .. Too much plot armor for Jon but that's ok too I suppose.
Season 6 is NOT tolerable... Dany not burning and ressurection is what made me hate this show, that season was the beginning of a terrible end. The Battle of The Bastards was the only thing that saved that season.
*"Start is Always Remember"*
S1 to S4 👌
VIdeo: *begins*
Season 8: "It's showtime"
Okay, but "A knight of the seven kingdoms" is a great episode. Sad that you took it so far back just because it's from season 8.
I'm pretty sure the numbers come from IMDb, not Rankerist. Viewers voted it that low, and yes, I agree it was actually the best episode of Season 8. For me it was the last episode that felt like what Game of Thrones always was and should have been, but alas... Dumb & Dumber messed it all up.
@Kenny McCormick LMAO
@Kenny McCormick I didnt know that. In that case, it's even worse. If the fan base has placed it so far down. And probably just because it’s in season 8. People have just decided to hate everything that has to do with season 8, even though some of it is really good.
Totally agree with what you wrote above. Calling D&D dumb is as stupid as it gets. They have written so much brilliantly. If it were not for them, then Got would not exist.
@Kenny McCormick
Very true. I feel very sorry for them. They have given us completly original fantasy on screen at the highest level for 6 seasons, and all they get is hatred because people didn’t like the last season. In seasons 7 and 8, they didn’t have the books to lean on and that is the reason why these seasons did not reach the same level. If they had more time to write, as you say, the last seasons would have been better off. Given the short time, they have managed to make 2 pretty good seasons. - Of course not as good as the others, where GRRM has spent several years writing.
I dont understand the Got fan base.
good one
*The Red Wedding* was one of the most shocking moments in the GOT
blackwater is the best episode in this show, there was no hype enough on the show for fanservice that happened in other ones like hardhome and battle of bastards(which was really bad and predictable) and it's just gritty, brute war with tension(the drum setup before the battle begins is awesome) amazing tyrion moment and a king like stannis actually on the frontlines(we don't get to see much of robb who was the other one who fought)
let's not also forget BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Also the dialogue is excellent
Al things considered, just 3 episodes below 6, and the rest were up from 7.4, that’s still impressive, and it’s gonna be a while when we have a show that can keep the whole world patiently waiting for next season as this one did.
And take the whole world for a fool as well.
I don't care if season 8 exists. I don't understand the "It ruined the show for me" people. I really believe that world build by George Martin simply couldn't be leaded by someone who isn't George Martin. Thus we got what we got. Just remember that 92% of the episodes are still rated over 8 and 48% of the episodes are rated over 9.
The laws of gods and men surely is better than the hardhome..it's a masterpiece too tho
It is but Hardhome is still GOT's best episode.
The door episode still gives me goosebumps. Hold The Door.
The lowest rated episode was somehow nominated for an Emmy in writing too...
All season 1 till season 4 episodes are my favorite
I like how no one mentions the fact that Arya was able to go from the faceless god to the red wedding place IN A SINGLE EPISODE(s6 ep10). I remember it took a couple of eps back in the first 4 seasons to travel from 1 place to another.
teleportation. How did Euron get so fast to Casterly Rock?- teleportation.
they could have explained a time skip but as usual they did not bother. legit took her and the hound half a season to walk across a hillside to get to the other side of a hill
@@bobbob-cd9ylThat's what im saying.
The Winds of winer - the best episode ever in history
Hardhome was a rollercoaster, best episode I have ever seen in a series.
Good rankings over all but I’m convinced that The watchers on the wall is the greatest game of thrones episode of all time
the fact that the top 3 were all season 5+ just shows how little people cared about good storytelling
But ware the great episodes
The Laws of Gods and Men my all time favourite episode
Vomited after realizing beyond the wall is rated higher then kissed by fire
The Rains of Castamere is the best episode of Game of Thrones, even if you ignore the Red Wedding, it has so many meaningful character moments and just leaves you hooked the entire time. Then obviously it ends with the best moment in the entire show.
Top 5 Best episode (my opinion)
1.The Rains of Castamere S3Ep9
2.The Children S4Ep10
3.Battle of the Bastards S6Ep9
4.The Watchers on the Wall S4ep9
5.Laws of Gods & Men S4Ep6
Game of thrones S1-4 was peak, S5-6 was overall good & some peak moments, & S7-8 was bad
never rank again
Jon's true identity reveal episode is in number 1 , "The King in the NORTH"🔥🔥
Breaking Bad : Every season gets better
Game Of Thrones : Every season gets worst
nope it doesn't
It is peak in 1, 3 and 4 and even 2 is like A-
the best comentary i have seen
My top 5 like that
1. Rains of Castemere
2. Winds of Winter
3. The Watchers on the Wall
4. Hardhome
5. Baelor
I can watch Season 6 episode 10 and Season 7 Episode 1 over and over again. Cersei facial expressions and overall acting at her best queen biatch and Arya stealing the spotlight as usual.
Well, I knew the top and bottom episodes before watching the video...🔥
The last season was good till the long night....that episode's rating should have been better
Agree💯💯💯
This is imdb Rating
The long night is one of my favourite episode
Well then you are fucking insane. It's absolutely dogshit
The long night gets a 7.4? HILARIOUS
@POU what?
All my he season 8 episodes are rated far too highly
S4>S3>S1>S5>S2>S6>>>>>>S7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>S8
Seasons 1-4: 9.5/10 (thanks GRRM)
Seasons 5-6: 8.5/10 (with exceptions such as the Battle of the bastards or winds of winter which are 10/10)
Season 7: maybe a 7 or 7.5
Season 8: a 3 in script and a 10 in everything else. You could actually see the staff and actors work being so amazing and the awfull script... ruined it
The decay of the series because of the script is, even after 3 years, painful...
If season 8 has a 3/10 script I don't know how you can give season 7 a 7.5. The whole plan to go beyond the wall and everything with Littlefinger is just as bad as anything in 8.
@@telltellyn but there are more likeable details in season 7 than in season 8 even though the last season should be a great ending to wrap it all nicely.
Maybe a 7 is kinda high but I enjoyed at least the first few chapters of it
>You could actually see the staff and actors work being amazing...
Except in episode 3, where you quite literally cant.
For me the first 5 seasons are a masterpiece. Absolute 10/10. S6 is an 8. S7 and 8, solid 2.
I have to do a hard disagree with series 6 it's to me the most condescending of them all. They set up so much (with some shitty writing but eh) for Jon, Dany and Cersei and Jaime and none of it pays off. Jon became much darker and could have become even more after BoB considering he was trampled and many other things but nope. That travesty of an episode is just bad writing, plot armour, shitty battle tactics with a deus ex machina that makes no sense and his dark side is completely dropped later so, uh, thanks I guess D&D, nice to see you did that with Tyrion and now also Jon, and Dany essentially ending the Siege of Meereen by just saying ha, no.
And episode 10? Those first 20 minutes, objectively perfect. Everything after that makes no sense and feels like a waste of a potentially amazing end to the KL plotline with Cersei and Jaime fleeing a KL enraptured in chaos. But no, nothing.
Definitely agree with top 4, amazing episodes
no1 is rly surprised with s6ep10 being #1. that episode had some of the best scenes bunched together. The bombing of the Sept of Baelor, Tyrion becoming Hand of the Queen, Jon becoming King in the North, Arya killing Walder Frey, Olena roasting the sand snakes and Daenerys finally sailing west. Best episode hands down
lol I just finished season 6 episode 10 and came for this video.Didn't expected it to be at no.1
Can you do one for Prison Break? The person that made the music for Game Of Thrones is the same person that made the music for Prison Break.
That’s madddd I was genuinely thinking part of the music to GOT sounds ike Prison Break right at the very end of the main intro theme. Go and listen to both into song endings and they’ve got the little ‘ da da ding ding 🎶 ‘ in the same style ahahhaa glad someone said this
@@iscoutofficial976 Truee
My favourite one was the 'Battle at Hardhome'. Happy to see it in the top 3.
Coming from a book reader, and someone who just binged the entire show again (and in 4k) the series, as a whole, is still incredible. Looking back, there was a ton of bandwagon hate towards the final season, particularly from youtuber's who have spent years delving into every possible detail or outcome, or youtuber's who hopped onto the show, binged the show, and then fed off of the negative hate the final season got and just rolled with that opinion to get likes and views. Here's my take. Season 8 was just good, and more enjoyable than season 5 or 7 for me (and those seasons were...wait for it...still amazing to me).
Here's a few things that people really hated but I was just like....it doesn't ruin the show for me. The Night King being dealt with in one episode...I didn't mind. Just like the red wedding dealt with half the main cast in one episode, not even The Night King is safe from unpredictable actions in this world, and Arya dropping him really showed that while he is a threat, he can be dealt with rather quickly under the right circumstances. The Night King, while cool, isn't safe. The end of the white walkers and the survival of the main characters in that episode was like a "reverse" red wedding, and I liked D&Ds take on it. The Long Night was fun, beautiful, and watching is in 4k is a much better experience than when it aired.
The Last of the Starks. People loathed this episode, I thought it was just below average, didn't hate it, didn't love it, and it didn't ruin the show for me. I loved the intrigue between Varys and Tyrion, it felt like old school game of thrones (even though the earlier season had better dialogue, because the earlier seasons had the luxury of source material and George being more involved). Euron killing Rhaegal was absolutely dumb and was probably one of the worst scenes in the whole show for me and I can't defend that, nonetheless, I still liked the spectacle, and just accepted it was a nonsense scene (just like Beyond the Wall but guess what, I love watching that episode still). I loved the scene of Tyrion escaping the barrage of Euron's ships so that was fun to watch, but another stupid thing was Missandei being captured...it was a little too "Hollywood" but still, didn't ruin the show for me.
Jaime's arc going back to Cersei and not caring for the people of King's Landing...I didn't mind either. He is a complex, inconsistent character, and he is addicted to Cersei, and nothing will ever change that. I don't believe that he really didn't care for the people of King's Landing, because Jaime says a lot of things "in the moment" and will literally go back on what he said just in general throughout the show...just like what real people do. People go back and forth in life all the time. He's a complex dude, didn't mind his arc, and liked that he and Cersei died together.
People saying Jon Snow being brought back meant nothing...I'm just like...have you watched the show? If he wasn't brought back, he wouldn't have united the North, as well as Dany's army, to defeat the white Walkers, or even take back Winterfell, or kill Dany when she goes Mad Queen. He took a back seat role this season because that's the point. Sometimes people are in charge, sometimes they take the back seat for a season, there is no real "Aragorn" main character moment in this show. I loved where Jon ended up in the end. Bran sent him to the Night's Watch...because Bran knows there is no Night's Watch anymore. Bran sent him there to in a way, trick the other lords, and Grey Worm...knowing very well that he would live a free life. Jon's writing this season was very "meh" but again, didn't kill the show for me.
Dany going "Mad Queen". Some people have a very "let me see it or it didn't happen" mindset. If they didn't see Dany doing horrible things throughout the series to justify the Mad Queen twist, then it doesn't make sense to them. For me personally, she didn't have to do anything crazy...you could always tell with her dialogue and mindset in the past seasons...she could absolutely go batshit crazy.
I've known since season one that she would go crazy with power. Even when she struck down her enemies, it was always in a barbaric, disturbing way. While hearing the Bells, she is thinking...all her friends died, two of her children died, there is no love for her in this land, and she is sitting on top of Drogon who just nuked the Golden Company and Euron's fleet. In this moment, as well as people throughout real history, she just said fuck it. So that's what she did. There didn't need to be a "trigger' in this scene to convince me she would go Mad Queen, her overall character throughout the show convinced me. Could that have been a whole season? Sure, but still, I've personally have always known she was crazy and the twist didn't ruin the show for me. Drogon nuking King's Landing was haunting and really cool to watch. How often do you see a dragon nuking a city in entertainment these days? Other than The Hobbit movies...not really. This really captured the horror and helplessness of what it would be like if a Dragon was real, and I loved it.
The Iron Throne Finale. I loved everything about this episode except for the courtyard scene where they name Bran King. I like Bran as king, but the whole dialogue in that scene was just so awkward I can't even explain it. Did it ruin the show for me? no it didn't. Loved the Dany speech, the throne room scene, Drogon burning the Iron Throne, the MUSIC (brought a tear to my eye) so many things I loved in that scene (which seems to be a lot of people's least favorite scene which just kind of bums me out...I really liked it a lot). Tragic episode with Dany, great ending for the starks, stumbles mid way with the courtyard scene...but a solid conclusion which is better than what most shows get.
For passing the books and being left to finish the show on your own, I really appreciate what D&D gave us throughout this show. A lot of great moments, especially in season 6, were original and not from the books, there are many great scenes that are show exclusive that they brought us. Overall, the books are obviously better, and I can't wait to see Martin's detailed approach to everyone's endings. But for the show, the final season and how it compares to the books, I love it, and we may very well never see a show of this scale again.
If I had to give the seasons an official ranking....
I would say season's 7 and 8 would be tied in their rank...but 8 had the better music so...season 8 comes out above 7 for me! It's really sad seeing the hate the show gets now, but hopefully everyone can watch the show again with a different perspective and in a positive way, something you will not find on youtube or video essays that are meant to bandwagon and accumulate views and likes. See the good and separate it from the books, it's an amazing experience and one of the greatest shows ever created.
This is your opinion, but you can't say seasons 7 and 8 didn't have major writing flaws and unjustified "plot twists".
Take Dany going mad queen. Everyone defending the show is saying she had all the signs and yes there were signs with the way she talked or acted when she killed her enemies. But with that logic almost anyone on the show must go mad as most of them have done one or other terrible thing. Take Arya for instance, she literally killed and cut Walder Frey's sons and fed to Walder in a pie, then slit his throat while having a pleasant grin. Then continued the psychopathic behavior by assassinating an entire hall of soldiers. That's wayy crazier than anything Dany did but still Arya was able to realize that killing innocents isn't right. You can say Arya's actions are justified because it was revenge for the red wedding. But in that case every single act of violence by Dany are justified as well. There may be some places where she was a little too harsh like with Tarly's, but other than that not much.
Contrary to that she was one of the most kindest people on the show towards innocents and children. Just because a child was fried by drogon she immediately caged her other two dragons. She was so disturbed with children being crucified she crucified all the slave masters.
In the final season itself she did kind of non selfish act of using her army to save winterfell from undead, non selfish because even though initially she wanted Jon to bend the knee, when she actually so the army of the dead she agreed to fight without him bending the knee, but Jon bet the knee right after anyway. The biggest reason according to the show and defenders for her going mad was losing a dragon, Jorah and Missandei in short time. But losing people in short time didn't make her mad before. She had lost her unborn baby and love of the life - Drogo at once, she lost her bloodriders, her best friend maid, Ser Bariston and a dragon before, that didn't make her mad. Why now?
Now coming to the moment she turned mad. She was atop a wall on her dragon having a view of Lannsiter soldiers dropping swords and surrendering along with the bells rung indicating the people surrendering. The battle is won. Now she looks at the red keep with justified anger. She launches drogon towards the red keep presumably to destroy it with the intension of killing Cersei. But out of nowhere she just decides to roast men, women and children for no fucking reason. Like what?? Thats astoundingly stupid and completely uncharacteristic. That's not a shocking twist thats an idiotic nosedive of storytelling. She had absolutely no reason to go out of her way to roast innocent people. But she did it and there's no justification to it.
I'm not against Dany roasting innocents. But do it in a believable way. Make the situation make sense. Not make it do a completely illogical turn just to shock audience.
This is just one aspect of one episode in 8th season. There are so so many bad things in this season that I might spend entire night typing this reply.
And I, and presumably every "hater", agree with you that everything except writing was flawless and probably to the highest standards in the last season. I mean the music itself was so great. But story being probably the most important aspect, did ruin everything else.
You can enjoy the show for what it is, acknowledging it's flaws, and for that I admire your approach. But you can't expect everyone else to do the same and render other people's dislike to the last seasons as "jumping on the bandwagon". Of course some of the hate was outlandish, but I still think most of the hate was justified. I hope George at least gets to release Winds of Winter, because A Dream of Spring seems just that, a dream.
Dany had literally never hurt a single innocent person (except potentially one Meereen noble), and then literally burnt hundreds of thousands of people to death. And this was played for shock value rather than being the culmination of any character development.
They didn't need Jon to gather armies or Dany to have her dragons to beat the White Walkers. None of it meant anything. All they needed was Bran-bait and a random jumping teenage assassin with a whole year of training. After all the build up and prophecies and all the underlying mystery, the White Walkers were less important than Roose Bolton.
I 100% agree RUclips channels have made careers nitpicking a thousand irrelevant details. I hate that culture. But season 8 (and most of season 7) were absolute failures of storytelling.
@@larsonseq9269 Well said! I personally always hated the idea of Daenerys going mad queen. It was executed HORRIBLY, but even if they executed it well (and they didn't even come close) I still would hate it. Daenerys was one of my fave characters. I don't know what ending I would give her, but I would never make her mad queen. Honestly, I rewatched the show again recently (skipped last three episodes; they are unwatchable!) and think a best ending for her would be to accept she isn't liked in Westeros; part ways with Jon Snow and proclaim love for each other. She should return to Essos and rule the kingdom that actually loved her. Jon... honestly his ending was one of the few I thought made sense. Go beyond the wall; the only place he felt home.

6/10 was my favourite! It has so much atmosphere 😍the soundtrack, the piano pretty good
73 episodes. 6 episodes in the last season and they are all at the bottom.
that's how bad the last season was. The ratings are justified.
It was so bad that I refuse to rewatch it entirely. It literally destroyed the series for me.
Season 4 Episode 9 is my personal favourite. So exciting!!
I think that is where GOT should have ended
the winds of winter and battle of the bastard are no way better than blackwater and the watchers on the wall
The Rains Of Castamere is my favorite episode. The red wedding was intense...
I bet they really thought nearly all 6 episodes of 8 would be up at the top when making them, like the character episode, an episode with the largest battle recorded, an ep where dragons finally burn kings landing, even the tragic stab must have sounded like fun. it wasn't
I was searching for winds of winter to come 😂, and it comes at the last of video
Both battle of bastards and winds of winters are great episodes
Long night can deserve more.
Currently re -watching GOT, have to say S4 is by far the best season.
Season 8 episode 2 deserved better, one of the best episode, really émotionnal
It wasn't a strong drama or dialogue. It's more like a children's episode. You didn't watch Game of Thrones dialogues in the early seasons.
