easy
Honestly I can appreciate a show with a straightforward premise and action like the pilot delivered, as long as they can put forward decent character development. It didn't demand anything from me, and I like it.

No fucking kidding. I spent my entire blitz through this book completely crestfallen at Grossman's pretentious asshole characters: Privileged little bitches with the world and more at their fingertips who find every means to remain as miserable as possible. Alice seemed the only character who even reflected any…

@ericisshort: I was steamed at that too - it's a cheap shot. "These people" include folks with degrees ranging from PhD's in Astronomy to Philosophy to Biochem - and from respectable institutions.

I think we're making great strides here…towards getting me another jug of Carlo.
