That was my almost word for word echo of the George Will Bruce essay. "I have not got a clue about Bruce Springsteen's politics," etc.

Hadn't heard of George Will. Don't fancy the sound of him.

Don't know David Brooks either but I think I get the idea.

Is this the first time lots of episodes of a tv show have been leaked?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 16:04 (eight years ago) link
One of the wire seasons. 4 maybe?

basically if they send out review copies its always a risk

i maintain that they shd just release entire runs of a show on the same day its better in a lot of ways and in fact there shd be infinite episodes of any show

OMG THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER/WORSE/DIFF THAN THE BOOKS

Review copies? Why is there review copies? I thought tv critics watched everything with the rest of us, apart from special premieres of a first episode that only a relative few will see along with the big fans.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 17:27 (eight years ago) link
early reviews hype the show. not that this one really needs hype i guess but why not
― head clowning instructor (art), Sunday, 12 April 2015 17:49 (eight years ago) link
I was wondering why there were suddenly a number of episodes available.Thought it might be like a Netflix multiple episodes released at the same time thing like Orange is the New Black seems to do & I think Daredevil just did. Or is that another case of this?
― Stevolende, Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:00 (eight years ago) link
This is quite a spoiler sensitive thing so I don't see what good giving critics more episodes is going to do, especially if it increases the risk of leaking.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:15 (eight years ago) link
It just takes the pressure off of the first episode representing the entire season. Sopranos always screened the first four episodes for critics, to give a sense of the overall tone/plot/etc for the new season.
― with HD lyrics (Eazy), Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
That makes sense I suppose but at this point I don't think this show needs it.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:33 (eight years ago) link
it's just HBO standard policy

Oh Jesus do I watch all four over the next few days then have to wait five weeks till the next one or do I try and eke them out, this is the hardest decision anyone has ever had to make.

I'm happy to wait week by week, but let's see if there's a cliffhanger or something and I might change my mind.
As for different threads, I think they should fully combine in season six, no? Maybe give this one more year of separation? I haven't read the books though so if those in the know think it's so far beyond it doesn't matter we should consider.

WRT spoilers can we stick to the broadcast schedule on these?
Feel like chaining the first four would be the worst approach to take because you're then just waiting a month for more episodes. On the other hand, chaining the first four...
