    I felt this was when I stumbled upon "The Walking Dead" Episode 1 a year back. Apparently the station was recapping all episodes in order to lead up to the new season premier. It was one of those "I'm not going to go out and rent that movie, but if it's on TV I'll stop and watch the whole damn thing" kind of scenarios. I sat all day and burned through 14 hours of TV watching it all and then geeked out on the new season.

    Likewise, I always heard buzz about Game of Thrones, but until around the same time period as I discovered Walking Dead I had ignored all of the claims because I didn't have the motivation to dedicate myself to a show that already had 2 seasons out. When I came to work one day, my coworkers were watching episode 4(?) where Tyrian gets taken to the Veil for judgement and I absolutely loved his character... despite him being depicted as a 100% irrefutable villain. I didn't know any better because I didn't have the whole story. That night I went home and flipped onto HBO On Demand and watched every episode.

    TL;DR: I know that feels.

      There are Game of Thrones characters that aren't villains? It's hard to name many people that haven't done anything horrific.

      In before anti-book whine: I'm talking about just the TV show, everyone is even worse in the books that have been adapted so far.

        I'm going to Halloween Horror Nights tomorrow and the theme this year is based on Walking Dead, Resident Evil, Evil Dead, and the Cabin in the Woods. Not familiar with the last one, but holy shit, this is gonna be fucking incredible. I am so excited.

          I hate to break it to you... but you're the only one who ever whines about the books. Therefor, your warning kind-of makes me chuckle.

            I've never heard of anti-book whine, but I'd like to disagree with you for just a moment. There are very few characters in the books that are truly evil, and fewer still that are evil for evil's sake. Tyrion is arguably one of the least villainous people in the books.

                Wise cracking, lecherous midget? Sounds like Lago when he was younger.

                  Went to Universal Orlando yesterday, it was AWESOME!

                  We were really busting through attractions, we had an express pass so we could skip most lines, my feet and legs are crying right now and I have a really nasty sunburn but it was really fun. Halloween Horror Nights is fucking awesome. Had a blast.

                  Also, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was incredible. Universal is such a fun park and they do things so authentically.


                  I was totally in geek heaven.

                      I've actually not played Skyrim.

                      Also, I am in a lot of pain. I forgot how much it sucks to get sunburned.
