I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

who are your top three characters?
It's hard to say. At this point it's probably Tyrion, Arya and Baelish.
i only saw two maybe three seasons, but in the books my top two are Tyrion and Davos...after that it’s pretty up in the air
Davos is great, but he hasn't appeared yet. I also really like Thoros of Myr and Berrec Dondarian.
I'm not sure how far into the show I'll watch. Probably season 4 or 5. As great as the early seasons are it's always in the back of my mind that there's not going to be a good payoff.
It must be the same as rewatching Lost.
ah yeah...i wasn’t thinking about just season 1
And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
Just watched episode 7 of Invincible - damn - finale next week should be awesome. Walton Goggins , JK Simmons, Zachary Quinto and Steven Yeun are the main voices. Season 1 has been excellent - similar to The Boys somewhat, but animated so more space/inner dimension stuff. It was adapted from the comic/graphic novel of the same name by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead).

I'm still rewatching game of thrones. I'm in the middle of season 3 and the show is still great. Olenna Tyrell is one of the best characters on the show.
I've also been watching an Australian show called Mr In-between with my sister. It's a dark comedy / drama about a hitman. I'm really enjoying it, but I'm a sucker for aussie accents.
Just finished s03e09 of my game of thrones rewatch. That wasn't an easy watch. I feel very bad for Cat, but I really struggled to sympathize with Robb. What a fucking dumbass.
The show is still excellent, although the Dany stuff is starting to get pretty boring. I hate all the treading water they have to do with her character.
I'll probably stop after next season. It's definitely hard knowing that none of this is going anywhere, but the characters are so good I'm still enjoying it.
I never actually watched the final season. I read about it though and it sounded terrible.
Maybe if GRRM finishes the book before he dies I'll read the proper ending. Either way Benioff and Weiss can get fucked.
