wow this post is old! I really ought to erm… write a better one! lol. Can’t guarantee the post is safe, no. I talk through some of the plot lines. I’d give it a miss.

I usually stay away from the physical.

Tell me what’s okay to read here if I want to watch the show. It started with some spoilers so I quit reading. Is the end of your post safe? 😉

God, I feel so bad for you. I’ve totally been there.

If you buy some flash drives (via Amazon wish list) and give me show names, I can download them and send them to you. Especially Game of Thrones.

The problem is my inner “me” wants to interject humor and lighten it up some. Great post.

You are more than welcome ? I’m so glad you enjoyed the post. I did love Dexter – have to say though I wasn’t sure about the ending but I think that was more my issue than the quality of it. Oooh I’ve heard terrible things about lost. I am definitely not going to attempt it then!! ?

Thanks for deconstructing it in such a way that makes so much sense. I might go back and watch the rest after the whole Debs shooting someone I didn’t expect her to which made me think the writers had lost their way too much. I was worried I’d end up in another LOST. Literally, lost hours and hours of my life. That was utter torture.
