Was good until the end of the first season, which ended in an unbelievably anti-climactic way, and then absolutely NOTHING happened in season 2.

Death note. It began declining when
Light gave up the death note, and it went straight south after L died

This will probably tick you off Julian, but for me:

Guns of the Patriots.

Death Note, until... well, you know...
Assuming I start watching from the beginning, how long until it starts to suck?

FFIX, Necron. Still haven't completed that game. Only FF (non spin-off) I haven't completed. And I won't. On principle. And no, I won't even watch the ending on youtube.

This seems to be a really popular realisation. But nobody seems to remember the gigantic, fiery eye of Sauron that would stare at them and eventually subject them to an endless blizzard of wraith lords.
Fine, I'll give you that. But what if they were dropped off before they reached Mordor, somewhere near the Dead Marshes, in Rohan? The eagles could have sent scouts ahead/avoided the Ringwraiths (there were only nine). Frodo would never have been attacked by Shelob or Smeagol. Gandalf wouldn't have had to face the Balrog.
Then it's settled! The eagles can take them SOME of the way :)
If Merry and Pippin hadn't been kidnapped on Amon Hen then Fangorn and the other Ents wouldn't have attacked Isengard. If Olorin Mithrandir, I tend to use their actual names, hadn't faced the Balrog that had been lying dormant beneath Khazad-dum since Durin's Day he would never have become Gandalf the White and wouldn't have had the magical strength to overthrow Saruman the Multicoloured. Rohan would have fallen as they were crossing the dead marshes and there is no garantee that they would have been able to get into Mordor without going through the passage of Cirith Ungol, and thus through Shelob's lair. Mordor would still have been full of orcs when they tried to cross to Oroduin and everyone in Minas Tirith would have been dead by that time any way.

i agree SO much. seriously tall blue people and a few birds with bows and arrows vs the militry and a few hundread helicopters.
Well, the Na'vi were ten feet tall tall enough to take on an amp suit, their 'birds' were basically dragons that could completely fuck up the copters flight path, thier bows were basically ballista's with a couple hundred pounds of pressure and they had well over two thousand warriors as opposed to a few dozen copters. And besides, it wasn't until teh natural nueral net on the planet kicked in to defend itself that the battle became winable, before that, they were getting thier asses kicked remember. The RDA was just completely overwhelmed.
Sorry, i am not trying to start a flame war, i just happen to love Avatar so.... yeah...

Anyhoo, on topic, there are a few
#1: Gundam seed Destiny was good until of course Kira Yamato came back.
#2: Death NOte, until Near showed up.
#3: Metal Gear Solid Series, up until they made Snake a terminally ill old fogey
#4: Simpsons, until season ten... then it kinda died.
#5: Star Wars episode one, until Jar Jar opened his fucking mouth

Death Note
Ninja'd. The whole second half of the anime was awful.

Dramatic.

Slow motion.

Chocolate eating.

WHY.
Dude, you're forgetting that you're talking about the anime that brought you this: Yeah, Death Note wasn't exactly subtle at times.

OT: I would never, ever say it was "great", but i thought that Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland was fairly good until it stopped being the sort of plot-less absurdity that Alice in Wonderland, y'know, is, and tried embarrassingly to be some sort of epic high-fantasy movie that was just sad to watch. You'd think that Tim Burton of all people would understand how to make that movie right.

The Force Unleashed, it was great until I saw the bodies disappear. Oh and I couldn't cut bodies in half and I couldn't force lift the cyborg troopers and the Star Destroyer QTE made me drop countless F-bombs and the levels started to recycle and.... and using a run on sentence is too painful for me to continue with.

Lie to Me, earlier in the season, for those who didn't see/don't watch it, Dr.Lightman determined who shot a cop using the paralyzed cop that got shot, he judged who done it by watching his eyes dilate. I call bullshit, no fucking way. The first few seasons had some reality in there, but that is jumping the shark my friend.
I agree. In fact for me it was the premise of the show, the star(Tim Roth), everything was going great until I started watching it. Then the outright arrogance of the people in the show started driving me NUTS! I mean, they discuss what the supect's reactions are right in front of them, and they act like all-knowing gods, that never get it wrong and have a HUGE advantage over the rest of the world. It's like the entire cast is Horatio Caine, and that I cannot abide.

Star Wars: Galaxies was really good until the combat upgrade, after that point, the game became ridiculously unstable. I could no-clip straight through just about every building in the game.

You win the thread.

OT: How about the Matrix series? It was good until Revelations. The first one was a very good movie, and the second one (though unnecessary) was good too; not as good as the first, but a good film in it's own right. But the second one left a lot of loose ends for the final chapter to tie up, and if Revelations failed to deliver, then Reloaded went down with it.

SPOILERS: It failed to deliver.

It just didn't work, it didn't feel right. The Oracle was boring as dog shit, and Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) hardly got any lines! Laurence Fishburne is a great actor, and he was one of the best characters of that trilogy, what the fuck were they smoking?!

And the Trinity death scene? Pfft. It seemed so forced and wasn't all that emotional.

All in all, the Matrix Revelations bought down what could otherwise be an awesome trilogy.

On the top of my head, I can only think of the Endless Eight... I watched maybe 3 episodes, then I skipped to the last. Although, I will watch them all when they release the dvds over here...

And then theres the whole issue of one of the party going mental and killing Frodo in order to get the Ring for themselves.

As for the topic. Shenmue was amazing until the story was left for dead :(.

Nah, I can understand that. Lots of people didn't like it for whatever reason.

I'm curious though as to your reasoning for not really liking it.
