  1. I guess book readers aren't as big of a fan of the adaptation, which is understandable because book readers for any show/movie rarely feel fully satisfied with the adaptation. 

     

    But for non-readers like myself, GOT is a pretty amazing show filled with incredible plot, characters, and twists.

    It helps to have amazing source material that contains all of that incredible plot, character, and twists.  And it seems like most book readers are fully satisfied with the first season.  The problem I've had with D&D as they've tried to condense the books to TV is they seem to lack the understanding of some of the character motivations that lead up to key events that they have to use from the books.

  2. "No show is ranked where it is supposed to be." - Everyone in this thread.

     

    I do think that judging by the amount of high rated cable dramas that not enough people have seen Deadwood, Rome, and Carnivale given their respective positions.  That seems to be a flaw in using a cumulative points system, it tends to lean towards what has been viewed by a wider audience.  I really can't see a way around that problem, though.

    Hahaha, so what the hell happened to this show after the 100th or so episode?  The ratings for it just plummet.

    Yay, someone else put Homicide on their list and #1 at that.  I don't know who it was, but I highly recommend The Wire to that person.

    Director: Duncan Jones
     
    Premise: Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.

    BOF user review: For a movie that cost about $3.85, the production values are outstanding.  Rockwell is also outstanding.  In fact, the film is quite outstanding as well. - baumer
     
    Trivia: Kevin Spacey read the script and agreed to voice Gerty but only when the film was finished and only if he liked it. Having loved it, he recorded his lines in half a day.

     

    Crap, I forgot to put Moon in my list.

  6. I liked but since 2000 there hasn't been lot of good sci-fi movie. 

    Yeah it's not like there's a lot of groundbreaking, exceptional sci-fi movies since 2000.  Sunshine is a solid film that isn't terrible or boring, thus it makes my list.  It seems like most people downgrade it because of the sudden change in tone in the 3rd act.  Since it didn't bother me when I viewed it other than an initial 'wtf is going on here', I didn't lower it on my list.
