So I haven't seen Season 4 yet. Is it worth watching, or should I pretend it doesn't exist?

Favorite Episode: Farewell Daddy Blues, Boardwalk Empire
Favorite Scene: Jaime Lannister's bath tub monologue, Game of Thrones
Favorite Character, Drama: Richard Harrow, Boardwalk Empire

1. Boardwalk Empire - Farewell Daddy Blues
2. Breaking Bad - Ozymandias
3. Mad Men - In Care of
4. Game of Thrones - And Now His Watch Is Ended
5. Enlightened - Higher Power
6. Parks and Rec - Ben And Leslie
7. Justified - Ghosts
8. Game of Thrones - Rains of Castamere
9. Boardwalk Empire - Erlkonig
10. Breaking Bad - Granite…

Both shows have strengths and weaknesses. Game of Thrones has spectacle, world building, scope and visceral power, despite it's structural weaknesses. And ultimately, the two shows are so different that I don't see how Enlightened can be declared objectively better.

Honestly, I would have stopped after the first episode if possible

It's actually doing incredibly well in best of lists.

I feel like Gravity should have been on this list somewhere.

South Park nailed this show? They hardly criticised it at all.

I don't think the Melisandre seduction scene was meant to explain why he converted. That was more to show the origin of the Shadowbaby.

Both those things happened in Season 2, and had a big impact on the course of the story. Blackwater was a turning point in the war. Do you actually watch the show?

SPOILERS I GUESS
Well, he fathered a shadow child with Melisandre that killed his brother, then he lead an all out assault on Kings Landing.

Every season has a main plot, but generally yes, there is no main plot that carries through every season.

They aren't almost all extraneous to the plot, almost all of them have been involved at certain points. The only exceptions are some of the Chicago gangsters.

I admit to some confusion about the Best of TV list this year. Is this in the top 3? Wasn't it meant to be a top 15 shows? Half the articles seem to highlight several series at once

Good god, you don't have anything better to do with your time?

True. It's been four seasons, yet I still feel like I barely know her as a character.

You don't even deserve my downvote

You don't like Rothstein? I find him one of the more interesting characters on the show. If anything, his presence in her scenes made her more interesting

Jacob Pitts on Justified

What bothers me, is that everytime critics criticise how few female character there are, they completely ignore Gillian, or write her story off completely.
