Dumbos: "Game of Thrones" fans deliberately downvoted the best episode of "Breaking Bad"
Dumb and Dumber: "Game of Thrones" Fans Deliberately Lower Ratings for the Best Episode of "Breaking Bad"
The legendary status of the "Ozymandias" episode from the series "Breaking Bad" has been shaken: after nearly 13 years of a flawless 10/10 rating on IMDb, the episode has lost its perfect score. The reason is both trivial and absurd—a raid by angry "Game of Thrones" fans.
The episode, which many critics call the greatest in television history, now boasts a rating of 9.9. This is because fans of the Westeros universe decided to take revenge for their beloved franchise. A wave of one-star ratings with hints to "Game of Thrones" appeared on the "Ozymandias" page: "The Lannisters send their regards," "The North remembers," "Winter has come for 'Breaking Bad'."
The goal is simple—to dethrone the cult episode and clear the way for a new episode of the series "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" titled "In the Name of the Mother," which currently has a rating of 9.7.
However, Walter White's fans are not about to give up. A retaliatory wave in the ratings war has already begun: the "In the Name of the Mother" page is being flooded with one-star ratings from angry "Breaking Bad" fans. The battle for ratings promises to be heated.
