Fans of both AMC\u2019s \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d and HBO\u2019s \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d are at war \u2013 and it\u2019s all to do with which series has the highest-rating episode on IMDb.<\/p>\n

For over a decade, since 2013 in fact, the \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d final season episode \u201cOzymandias\u201d has had a perfect 10\/10 score on the movie\/TV database \u2013 the only television episode to ever land on such a number.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it had maintained the score thanks to over 300,000 ratings from users. This week, for the first time, the episode saw a drop to a 9.9 rating due to a recent surge of hundreds of 1\/10 ratings, which not only pushed it out of the top spot but all the way down to ninth place.<\/p>\n

Rightly or wrongly, this surge of review bombing is being blamed on \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d fans who are eager for the recent fifth episode of spin-off series \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms\u201d to take the top spot instead.<\/p>\n

That episode has been widely praised by fans, calling it the best episode in the entire \u2018Thrones\u2019 franchise to date. Now, a social media \u2018war\u2019 has broken out between the two fandoms with each insulting each other.<\/p>\n

That recent episode of \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms\u201d did briefly hold a 10\/10 score on IMDb, but that score has now dropped to a 9.8 and has been pushed out of the Top 10 \u2013 leaving the series finale of \u201cSix Feet Under\u201d to hold the top spot at present.<\/p>\n

Whether that drop is from legitimate reviews or retaliatory \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d fans isn\u2019t clear. HBO recently revealed that \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms\u201d is averaging close to 13 million U.S. viewers per episode in its first season.<\/p>\n
