Dude, are you mainlining the show?
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

It's what I do.

Well, you're doing it right. About the one smart guy I met on HBO.com told me once that for Simon et al, happy endings are for massage parlors. But that's not quite right...very often you will see tiny green shoots among the garbage.(Did I mention they are very small? Yeah.) Fandom freaked DS out. which was the enjoyable part of hbo.com.(Yes, I'm a starfucker and quit when I didn't see The Man around anymore. Slap the bracelets on me now, but really the coup de grace was when the right-wing Wirefiend...what was THAT about, kept locking me in the quagmire of psycho war debates. The stupid, it burned.

Mainlining is the best way to do the show. At least at first.
This show makes me sad for America. Possibly even angry.
Keep going, man.

Whoa, dude, stay off the corners. For real. I'm completely obsessed and only watch two at a time.

Not me. When we first watched the show, we went through Seasons 1 & 2 in about two weeks. I've rewatched both of them at least three times since, and it seems to always get richer.

I guess it took me a while to adjust to all the ways "It's not TV," My brain gets full. In a good way, but... and especially after a thing like Wallace, I would need a moment to shake my fist and be all "Simon, you bastard!" Because that kind of communication is essential in an open spousal delusion, don't you think?

It certainly helps to have most of the story fresh enough to catch some of the little details.
I'm completely obsessed and only watch two at a time.
I normally watch at least one a day (with dinner), but I do more some nights when I'm free and on the weekends.
When we first watched the show, we went through Seasons 1 & 2 in about two weeks.
Well, I did season one in eight days, and I'll probably get through a chunk of season two this three-day weekend.
I've rewatched both of them at least three times since, and it seems to always get richer.
That's good. I wasn't sure how rewatchable the show was because for me, a lot of the appeal was in watching the story develop with lots of little surprises here and there.

There is so much, there will likely always be something. I'm rewatching Season 4 so I can get the commentary. And yes, I was that annoying kid who made her candy last too.(ask my brother about that. Although he has the vaguely racist habit of imitating cornerboys when I watch it in front of him, so maybe not, right?)
