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.

As a whole, I like this show (Seasons 1-3) a lot but what the hell was up with having TWO suicide hallucinations in one episode? That seems like rookie shit.

I enjoyed the first two seasons. I haven’t gotten around to this one yet, but I’ve seen some headlines about an incest storyline between brothers and so I am all the way the fuck out. That’s a taboo that should remain as such.

In watching entertainment, we suspend disbelief. Unless the acting is extraordinary or terrible, I don’t think about it. I accept the characters and the worlds they inhabit. Often I laugh, and sometimes I cry. What I don’t want to do is retch. I’m not saying these stories shouldn’t be told because the subject gives me the ick. I’m just saying I’m out. Way the fuck out.

The characters themselves feel disgusted and haunted by the memory. Does that make a difference for you? It's not like they are proud of it. They were under the influence.

DT, whatever happened...it is not your fault.
Except if it was, in that case yes, it was your fault.

That family is the one storyline this season that is any fun
Otherwise it's boring shit like
- Resort worker is nice but bad at his job
- Walton Goggins takes extremely slow steps towards killing a guy
- Three middle aged women realize high school is forever

I’m not so sure. Older bro is putting that vibe out there but keep in mind he’s hung up on little bro getting laid while they’re there and he’s also way into sis’s sex life. And little bro just remembered it. We’ve not seen any real reaction from him yet. I think this was an awakening for at least one of them.
