Whitecaps is the best episode of Sopranos IMO

I think its Marlo Stanfield in the Wire.

Literally soft spoken, small in stature, articulate, and calculating- playing a feared/respected ruthless drug dealer in Baltimore.

the way he carries that role, I bet nobody else auditioned the way Jamie Hector is…

even the payoff of having him never raise voice thru the entire series- for him to finally do so in this moment

Tough call between the pilot and the first(?) season finale, that ends with >!Adama shot on the bridge!<

In recent years, 'Sweet Tooth' episode 1 was pretty close to perfect.

All downhill from there.

Obviously episode 3 of 'Last of Us' was unbelievable as well.

“The Suitcase” from Mad Men will always be mine. Some other candidates….

Ozymandias from BB

Rains from GoT

Pilot of Friday Night Lights

Pilot of BSG

Ron and Leslie, Parks and Rec

Chicanery, BCS

Dinner Party, The Office

Slap Bet, HIMYM

The Colonel, Americans

Remedial Chaos Theory, Community

I'm pretty disappointed in this reveal. I may be in the minority but I don't really care to watch an Amanda Waller show or a GoT style drama set on Themiscyra.

ok stop

Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters

Creature Commandos:

>An animated seven episode series, written by Gunn, that is already in production. Originally a team of classic monsters assembled to fight Nazis, this is a modern take on the concept. The voice actors have yet to be cast but the executives are looking to find people who can voice the animated characters and also portray the live-action versions when the anti-heroes to show up in movies and shows.

Waller:

>A spin-off of Gunn’s own HBO Max hit series, Peacemaker, Viola Davis will return as the ruthless and morally ambiguous head of a government task force. It is being written by Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver, the creator of the Doom Patrol TV series.

Lanterns:

>Greg Berlanti’s long-in-the-works Green Lanterns TV series has been scrapped and the duo have parted ways with the longtime DC series steward. In its place will be a new take on the space cops with power rings. “Our vision for this is very much in the vein of True Detective,” Safran described. “It’s terrestrial-based.” It will feature prominent Lantern heroes Hal Jordan and John Stewart and is one of the most important shows they have in development. “This plays a really big role in leading into the main story we are telling across film and TV.”

Paradise Lost:

>The duo describe this HBO Max series as a Game of Thrones-style drama set on the all-female island that is Wonder Woman’s birthplace, Themyscira, filled with political intrigue and scheming between power players. It takes place before the events of the Wonder Woman films.

Booster Gold:

>an HBO Max series based on a unique and lower-tiered hero created in 1986. Safran said of the series, “It’s about a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero.” Gunn described it as “imposter syndrome as superhero.”

Omar Little

Dexter

I still count that as successful though.

Mad Men, The Suitcase.

Twitter is on the Internet tho

for me it is “the end “ of lost . just 2 hours of pure satisfying character conclusions .

Most of these have been done to death. Underwhelming except for swamp thing.

Midnight Sun- Attack on Titan. No intro, no ending, barely any action throughout the entire episode, yet it’s arguably the most engaging episode of the series just with dialogue.

Like I said, subjective

Serial killer manifestos aren't normally praised for their good punctuation and word length either yet here we are.

No but you can make it seem that way if you pay off reporters.

The Sopranos - Pine Barrens

the one with the snow and the Russian interior decorator

The Leftovers - International Assassin episode

Black Mirror - San Junipero

Yea he was definitely postponed but not cancelled.

Battlestar Galactica, "33"

Just factoring in when it came out (i.e. before this era of prestige TV) as well as the budgetary limitations of the network that released it (SyFy), it's remarkable how good of an episode it was. And it still holds up today as one of the best in scifi.

Wow that's harsh. I was up for reading something that challenged the glowing reviews elsewhere because although I loved the episode it's always interesting to see dissenting takes.

But this seems to be contrarian for the sake of it and finds fault with every single aspect of the episode including the writing and the acting which I think even some of the more negative takes on the episode have conceded was a highlight.

I mean even this is stupid:

> One of the most engaging aspects in the storytelling of The Last of Us is that, because Joel dictates how you move forward in the game, you’re implicated in his increasingly gray decision-making. On TV, the viewer is primed to be sympathetic toward a main character, so there’s not the same level of friction as experienced by the gamer.

The series isn't finished yet. The nature of Joel's decision-making is yet to be explored, that's this got to do with this episode?

Frank wakes up from a terrifying fever dream, 40 years younger, in a chair at a desk in a taxi dispatch office. Wipes the drool from his mouth, on his worn out vest. He then mumbles all sorts of curse words as he steps down from the office into the taxi pool, yelling random directions and insults at Jud Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Tony Danza and Christopher Lloyd who are all in character and trying to make sense of his troubles.
