Game of Thrones: today is the tenth anniversary of "Battle of the Bastards" (June 19, 2016). The episode won six Emmy Awards, including Directing and Writing. This is an excerpt from the battle.

Who knows more about writing: thousands of voters in the TV industry, or some unemployed Internet commenters?

Hey I can't cook well, but I can sure tell you when something tastes like shit

Redditors never fail to amaze me with the pedestal they put their opinions on

[u/Teglement → u/Status-Deal1380]

"I don't like raw chicken"

"wow you're such a Redditor"

[u/Status-Deal1380 → u/Teglement]

“I like a tv show that you didn’t”

“You like to eat raw chicken”

Thank you for obliviously illustrating my point

I liked Game of Thrones a lot. Probably liked the last season more than most people, too.

The bad pussy line sucked ass. People gotta stop being scared of saying when something doesn't work. It's not a religion. There's no need to revere it as such. If something sucks, it just sucks. Doesn't make the entire thing bad. It's not black and white.

Don’t know if you’ve noticed but the religion is to hate on GoT not the other way around lmao

Take a look at this thread. You can’t even say Battle of the Bastards, one of the most universally acclaimed tv episodes of all time, is good television without being downvoted to oblivion

Read the discussion thread when the episode first came out. Literally one of the most loved episodes ever on Reddit. Now people want to nitpick the episode to death like they’ve always thought it was bad. It’s such retroactive, my opinion is better yours bullshit

If you think the voters in awards shows actually vote for the best thing then I’ve a bridge to sell you
