Yeah, yeah… a bit late to posting this, but hey, I’m a busy one-man army here. Anyway, I’m tempted to go snap up the first two seasons on video, but HBO on Demand has been running them for a while, so I’ve more than gotten my fix of the series. I’ll probably wait until the entire run has ended and the inevitable box set drops to buy in, a I’m expecting a load of behind the scenes features we haven’t yet seen. Anyway, I’m not even going to speculate about what’s going to happen and who’s going to get it this season, as that sort of thinking always makes any show less enjoyable in my book. I like to just sit down, shut up and take it all in. No laptop, phone or other device going. Hell, I can’t see HOW people sit there in front of a TV and concentrate on any show while being “social” and yakking away on Facebook or Twitter or wherever while there’s more than enough onscreen to hold one’s attention…

It’s also a bit rude if you think about it, as if you’re talking during a Broadway show or other live performance where your respect and attention are more important than sharing your reactions to your horde of adoring followers or whatever. I say pretend each episode is the last one you’ll see before an asteroid hits your home (and given the recent events in a few hotspots, this might be true sooner than later) and enjoy it by yourself (or with others in the room) first, THEN hop online during that repeat and babble away. Of course, the chances this *new” etiquette I’m suggesting takes hold are absolute zero, but hey – I can always dream, can’t i?
