Terrible episodes of great shows.

The last episode of tGoT is a sheer nightmare for its fans (((

Pretty much all Star Trek shows fit in this thread. They've all been mostly terribly at the start.

As someone who watched TNG for the first time a few years ago (and thus have no rose-colored goggles about the show), it was truly awful for the first ~2½ seasons. I had to drag myself through a lot of those episodes to catch the general storyline and character progression, but the episodes themselves were absolute shit apart from like 1 or 2 decent episodes. I had to fast forward a lot.

I couldn't disagree more.

A few people have mentioned Angel episodes........but no one has mentioned that HORRIBLE episode where they were all puppets?!?!

Also.....the few extremely preachy, PC episodes of Doctor Who this past season /facepalm

Smile Time was one of my favourite episodes, so many great moments - like this one:

Love this episode

I dont know if anyone watched ricky gervais' extras, but for me the christmas special was one of the worst episodes ever (if it counts). They finished the standard run off perfectly with Andy realizing he didn't need the fame, visiting the kid in hospital instead of meeting deNiro. Classic redemption arc. And then they went for drinks with DeNiro anyway. Great ending.

But then they went and basically retconned that to make andy miserable and fame hungry again for the special. It really disappoints me as I love everything else Gervais

There are a couple of different takes on Eva but this is one of my favorites (despite the dude mispronouncing Eva every fucking time).

Yeah, I actually didn't mind the last episodes of the original Evangelion series once I had time to process it. In general, the creator was using the series as an outlet for his depression, which is why you see so many themes within the show reflect such topics. I kind of like how in Eva, unlike most shows, all the action/battles and robot fighting actually feels like it's not the main story, all taking the back burner to Shinji and his mental development (and character development all around the cast, as well). If you came to the show because of the action and robot fighting and not the character studies, I can see how the last couple episodes would feel off.

Sopranos - Tony's dream sequence episode

Agree. I would like to throw in any episode of Archer after he "dies" meaning the last few seasons. It's unwatchable

[Varrusian]

every episode of The Office (either version)

Glee season 6.
- New Directions only had one - yeah, [B]one[/B] - competition shown, while every other school year/season had a sectionals, a regionals, and a nationals competition (Barring S1 and S4, for plot reasons). They had the award ceremony for the Nationals, but didn't give the viewers any performances.
- They formed a super-group from the Warblers and New Directions after the Warbler's school burned down, but we only got to see one competition performance, so it felt lackluster.
- Wrapping up relationships and story-lines. For the most part they worked well, but some of the new plot points just fell flat in the mean-time (Will said he didn't want to direct New Directions, leaving it to Rachel and Kurt (and later Blaine) to direct the group, while he was an consultant. Later, in the finale, it built up to him accepting the trophy for their victory at the Nationals.) They also spent so much time wrapping up the old cast member's stories, that they didn't give much screen time for the newbies introduced in season 6.
