agreed. it's a true "seeing is believing" situation.

It really is. My wife doesn't watch most of these shows so she just asks me to tell her about them. She knew I was disappointed in the season but she's asked me a few times to tell her about the finale and I seriously just laugh. Just trying to describe it out loud to someone it sounds even dumber than typing it out.

dude...it's not a bubble.

With this, it is. In the thread we had people saying they need to drop the last two episodes together and cut their losses, pronounced it as a massive failure, etc. It's clearly not. Tons of people watched it, and even though we almost all hated it/thought it was terrible, a ton of people liked it. They've never announced a follow up TD season as fast as this. It was watched by more people than any season of TD ever. HBO cares about eyeballs and money, and this apparently brought both.
