Shows are like movies with fleshed out characters, so to me, it's like reading a book vs watching it's adaption. I'm fine with waiting one week for the next episode rather than caching a full season to binge watch, because the internet is full of spoilers. |

Well what do you expect? :p --- End quote --- Eh I love my old i7 m14x, but it too needed to have the mobo replaced shortly after buying it. It's been good for the 5 years since. It still kicks butt for a laptop. I hope the alpha holds up after getting it back. |

Also, I typically like to pace myself playing console games to ensure I get the maximum experience from the game. However, I binge-played all of the Uncharted games because those were like playing a movie. Couldn't put it down. |

The "stupid audience" know the characters already, so trailers can focus on explosions and skin. Also, the subscribers to HBO and Netflix lets them take chances with new shows, which is awesome. |
