I haven't started it yet.

Funny though, I have the book saved to my Goodreads and I saw the trailer on Apple+ and thought... "gawd that looks like garbage! which sucks because I love her so much and the book looks so goooooood!"

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.

I just hope Corey’s around next season. He’s the pulse of this show.

Agreed. Glad to see Chip got a big scene.
