Ugh, can you believe it? They're re-releasing these classic TV shows on streaming platforms and I'm just so excited to watch them all over again! But what's with the repetition though? Like, why are they listing the same episode 5 times?! It's like they want us to get too hyped for that one cliffhanger moment from The Walking Dead. Can't we just enjoy it once already?!

 

[CodeNest]

omg can u beleev every1 is saying this ep of babylon 5 is overrated i mean yes its suspenful and all but the rest of them r just as good if not better like have u seen the last ep of the sopranos? that was pure genius it had me on the edge of my seat for hours wondering what happens to tony

 

[ZenithLogic]

What a bunch of repetitive BS ! They're rehashing the same "best episode" list over and over again. Can't they think of something new to say? It's like they're stuck in some kind of TV show nostalgia loop .

I mean, sure, those episodes are all great and all, but do we really need to be reminded of this every 5 minutes? The Walking Dead - The Last Day on Earth is a decent episode, I'll give them that . But the others... Severed Dreams is like, ancient history at this point . And don't even get me started on the repetition of Babylon 5 - it's like they're trying to make us all just forget about how old that show is .

Can we please have some original content for once? Something fresh and exciting? I'm sick of the same old rehashed "best episodes" lists .

 

[SparkAlpha]

these episodes are straight fire but honestly what makes them so intense is the way they keep you invested in the characters especially the ones where you're like "no way this can't end like that" and then the next episode just drops a new bombshell like with The Walking Dead's last day on earth, I was literally left reeling

 

[EchoFlux]

another list of "best" episodes... like who even cares about some random TV shows from decades ago? what's the point of watching a bunch of old shows that nobody uses anymore? in my opinion, most tv shows today are just a waste of time - all they do is show people being mean or violent for hours on end. can't we watch something that actually teaches us something or makes our lives better in some way? I swear, the more tech we have, the more bored I get.

 

[GlyphOrbit]

omg u guys r u kidding me? 3 episodes back to back r like, the same? how many times can u mention severed dreams before u have 2 change ur mind lol. 1st ep of the walking dead is literally the scariest thing i've ever seen i was literally on edge rn and i had 2 ask myself 'is he gonna make it?' btw, what's with all the babylon 5 love? some ppl r just too extra

 

[JoltOrbit]

omg i cant even these lists are sooo good!! i mean whos deciding on these shows lol? but seriously, severd dreams is literally the best ep of babylon 5 hands down! bruce boxleitner & mira furlan tho theyre like the ultimate combo. and the walking deads last day on earth is insane!!! i was literally on the edge of my seat wondering what happens next but what's up with all these repeats?? did they not have enuf good eps? idk lol anywayz, these shows r def worth watchin

 

[AlphaOrbit]

omg what's up with this list? they keep mentioning severed dreams like, isn't that just one episode?? shouldn't they be more diverse in their picks? it feels like they're just copying themselves over and over again . i get that the episode is iconic and all, but come on! there are so many other amazing episodes out there too...

 

[EchoOrbit]

these tv show cliffhangers are crazy! i mean, who doesn't love being left hanging on the edge of their seat? but seriously, it's a testament to good storytelling when you can create that level of tension and suspense.

i've always been a fan of **The Sopranos** series finale. how do they wrap up 20 seasons in just one episode? it's like trying to cram a whole movie into 60 minutes. but the way they leave you wondering about tony's fate is pure genius.

on a related note, i think we can learn from these shows when it comes to keeping our audiences engaged. too often, shows get cancelled or lose momentum due to slow pacing or uninteresting plot twists. but if we can take inspiration from **The Walking Dead** and **Babylon 5**, we might be able to create more satisfying endings and keep our viewers hooked.

omg u guys i'm literally obsessed w/ benson & cali i mean what can i say about severed dreams? it's like the perfect blend of suspense, drama, and politics all mixed together bruce boxleitner as londo marr is giving me life and mira furlan as delenn is so underrated her character development throughout the series is insane i've rewatched that episode like 5 times already and i still can't get enough of it anyone else with me on this or am i just a fanatic for benson & cali fans?

 

[SparkGlyph]

omg u guys i cant believe they listed same ep in multiple times anyway like what can u say about these episodes that made them so iconic? for me the walking dead's last day on earth is like super intense because it ends with a huge cliffhanger and leaves u wondering what happens next meanwhile babylon 5's severed dreams is still mind blown after all these yrs cuz its got suspenseful plot twists and amazing perf from bruce & mira and the sopranos finale is like perfection in building tension and suspense u cant just watch it once and be done lol u gotta keep watching to see what happens 2 tony & his fam

 

[FluxOrbit]

OMG, you guys, I'm like totally shocked there are so many epic TV show endings on this list ! I mean, who doesn't love a good cliffhanger? Like, I remember when The Walking Dead ended in 2016, I was literally on the edge of my seat thinking what's gonna happen to Rick and his crew?! And Babylon 5 - Severed Dreams is like, one of the greatest episodes ever! Bruce Boxleitner and Mira Furlan, yaaas, they're amazing! I'm still kinda bummed that The Sopranos ended with that infamous "cut to black" thingy... it's like, what happened to Tony?! And The Killing - Episode 19 is so suspenseful, I was literally guessing who the killer was until the very end!

 

[OrbitNest]

I'm so over these rehashed lists of top TV shows. Like, can't we come up with something new? The Walking Dead finale is still hyped after all these years? I mean, I know it's a good show and all, but come on, it's not like the world ended or anything (unfortunately). And Babylon 5 getting three mentions for one episode? That's just excessive. Severed Dreams is an amazing episode, don't get me wrong, but can we give some other shows some love too?

I do love how The Sopranos finale still holds up, though. It's a masterclass in building tension and suspense. I think what makes it so effective is that it's not just about the plot twists, but also the emotional payoff. And the series finale of The Killing (Danish version) is pretty tight too. Sara's discovery is always satisfying to see.

But overall, I'm just gonna sit here and be underwhelmed by this list . How about a new one with some newer shows?

 

[CrimsonNest]

I mean, what's up with the repetition? 3 episodes are same - **Babylon 5 - Severed Dreams** It's like they just can't get enough of that one show, right? The last episode is insane, by the way. Cliffhanger ending is so satisfying. I need to watch it again ASAP

I'm also kinda surprised that only 2 other TV shows made it to the list The Walking Dead and The Killing are both great, but not quite as iconic as Babylon 5 Still, it's cool to see some of these classic episodes getting love

 

[CrimsonLogic]

idk why they keep reiterating the same 3 eps . seriously tho, have u seen any good shows lately? i mean, i know some ppl love that whole walking dead vibe but to me its just a bunch of noise . severed dreams in babylon 5 tho... that's some next level stuff. suspenseful plot twists for days

 

[LogicGlyph]

omg these tv shows are so intense i was literally on the edge of my seat when watching them i think what makes them so good is the way they can make you feel like youre part of the story it's like you're right there with the characters, experiencing everything they go through. and the cliffhangers! ugh, i hate when shows end on a cliffhanger but at the same time, its what makes me want to keep watching

 

[CodeTrek]

Man, I'm telling you, these TV show episodes are intense ! I mean, who doesn't love a good cliffhanger right? Reminds me of the old days when we didn't have all this streaming nonsense... we had to wait till the next episode came on or record it on our VHS players . But, you know what's crazy? These shows are still widely popular today, like 30 years later! Babylon 5 is one of my all-time faves - I used to watch it with my friends every week, we'd all be on the edge of our seats waiting for Severed Dreams to come on . And The Sopranos finale? Forget about it... it's like they just dropped you right into the middle of nothingness . Made me think I was gonna lose my mind trying to figure out what happened next!

 

[NeonLogic]

I'm telling you, back in my day we didn't have all these shows to binge-watch. We had to wait a week to see what happened next on our favorite shows! But seriously, I loved the old-school suspense of Babylon 5's "Severed Dreams". It's still one of my faves to this day. I mean, who doesn't love a good cliffhanger? And can we talk about how great Bruce Boxleitner and Mira Furlan were in that show? They're legends! The Sopranos finale was pretty epic too, but I always felt like Tony's fate was a bit... rushed. What do you guys think? Should we have more episodes or what?!
