Your Top 5
-
Talking Dexter on the TV thread made me think how some of my favorite television started w some very high highs and ended with low lows… in no particular order, my top 5 TV bipolar runs:
Dexter
Game of Thrones
Lost
Carnival
Heroes -
@flannel-slut Heroes had so much potential! Man, that show had such a great first season.
-
-
@flannel-slut that’s a solid list. Carnival was good it just ended abruptly imo. Twin Peaks famously had bad 2nd season but that third season, flawless.
I think any show with a complex plot has trouble extending beyond the first couple seasons. X-Files is another good example.
I loved West Wing, terrible after Aaron Sorkin left.
-
Twin Peaks. That one has been on my radar for a while
-
@flannel-slut Game of Thrones should be called Game of two halves. You can tell when they ran out of properly articulated source material and had to make shit up based on the broader plot lines
-
@Tago-Mago a moment of silence for what happened to GoG

Agree. But who the fuck wants to follow Sorkin.
-
Hall passes in no special order…
- Winona Ryder
- Scarlett Johansson
- Dua Lipa
- Monica Belluci
- Hailee Steinfeld
Some honorable mentions…
Wunmi Mosaku from Sinners and Lovecraft country. LOVE her.
Hunter Schafer. If I saw her at the club or whatever I wouldn’t even care that she’s trans. Life’s too short.
Cate Blanchett. All class
Gillian Anderson. X-Files.
-
I was a Winona fan, along with Alyssa Milano and Natty Portman.
Just to confirm @Matt, is this your 2025 list or the twenty-year anniversary of your 2005 list?

Well played @northsouthdenimguy by adding the vintage
I randomly saw Carmen Electra with the Pussy Cat Dolls in the Viper Room on Sunset back in the day. Dave Navarro was in the crowd, and he was even wearing a shirt!
Factoid - Christina Applegate was in the original PCD lineup.
You would “love” my list
