What's the opposite to barrier to entry I wonder?
A hook.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
A hook.
That's it? Kind of a letdown. I thought it would be something like "induce investment."

Well, I just made that up. There may be a more convoluted term yet.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The hook brings you back. On that you can rely.

Hmm not turning up my nose at this. But the one thing that worries me is that extreme violence and grim situations combined with a lack of fantasy elements will make the show horrifying to me rather than enjoyable; there is a certain distancing I need with fictional violence, or extreme suffering or the show gets depressing to me. I'll watch the first episode; if I feel miserable and depressed after it I won't watch a second. If not, given the likely quality, I'll probably be hooked and go on watching it. Very subjective - no promises either way, but really I can't say fairer.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hey, Adam Baldwin as a hot headed ex-Marine... I don't think it'll get too grim.

Is he hot-headed or is his head just hot?

Both.
Without wanting to sound all gay, and all.

Maybe he's wearing one of Jayne's hats?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I'd have trimmed my nails for Jaye.
