This sounds fantastic. Did you finish all the GOT books?

I am in the middle of the first one and it is playing out exactly like season 1 which isn't a bad thing as it is refreshing my memory and the level of detail is fantastic. I read a few chapters, then rewatch the episodes. It's pretty awesome.

It's rough reading as I never buy books and download them digitally but wanted the GOT collection. The font is so damn small and the books are like 800 pages

how can you make a comment like this when there is next to no possible chance you'd have enough info to make an educated comment on this?

you could be best friends with the president of the foundation and there is no possible way of knowing how they are handling their finances.

Jsence is an expert in NPOs, telecommunications, IT, football (both kinds), basketball, seismology, meteorology, climatology, history, law, religion, and being a white knight. How dare you question his knowledge on this matter.

At least the first season that I tried to watch. Worse than Seinfeld even.

Its definitely worse the second time around thus far. I always took it as a very superficial show and cheap entertainment, which it certainly is. Entourage and Weeds were probably the first two shows that I watched regularly from beginning to end, and as Ive watched more good television perhaps my standards have changed. I still like the show, just maybe not as much as I thought?

that means very little.

i can start a non profit, show you all my finances and still pocket tons of money without you having any idea.

Best way the show was ever described to me:

It's a show about douchebags, starring douchebags, and enjoyed by douchebags.

You calling me a douchebag?

If you want to save this dumb show you gotta get the fans involved. You know, like sometimes people mail stuff to networks to show how passionate they are. They sent light bulbs to save Friday Night Lights, hot sauce to save Roswell, and douche bags to save Entourage.
