Yep. And with GRRM not even finishing the books, I don't trust that the entire problem was only on those two idiot showrunners. Don't trust HotD at all on landing the ending, and considering they are keeping GoT with its trash ending as "canon" for the future of the same world that HotD takes place in, I don't even care about it in the first place. How can anything on HotD even matter or make sense in the context of the non sense that happens in the future?

But in response to the OP - yes season 4 was great. And it was the last great season too :(

Sorry. I didn't mean for it to be about you. I can speak from personal experience, and I don't even engage in most of the distracting activities. There's endless movies, TV, music, podcasts, the etymology of words, etc. It can keep me forever occupied, but it's not good for dusting off my TV boxsets.

The smart move would be to travel as part of the advance team. If you're going to get sick, do so early on so you'll hopefully be over it and unlikely to have a recurrence once you move into production with everyone on site.

Samuel L. Jackson.

Although Kevin Pollak (66) is also almost the same age Jack Lemmon was (68) when he made the first film.

I'd also be down for a Patrick Stewart/Ian McKellen version. A British take on it would be an interesting element that would help to reinvigorate the material as well.

Not you. In general. I didn't get a smart phone until 2021. I don't give my number out, and I have no real social media. But still... it was much easier to invest my time elsewhere without it. I've knocked over rewatches of Cheers (11 seasons) in 13 days, and Seinfeld (9) in 8. When I want to get back to that, I'll probably put down my phone permanently.
