HBO Go

HBO Go available to non HBO subscribers

A topic that’s been spoke about for quite some time now is how “the people” want to watch HBO without actually subscribing to HBO. As it is now, anyone who has HBO is usually whoring their login around to any of their close friends (I have my brother’s old roommate’s parents password).
However, it hasn’t happened yet because HBO has a lot of leverage. The content that HBO puts out it somewhat at a higher quality than other networks, and people ARE willing to pay for it. Game of Thrones, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood — these are shows that have been nominated for Emmy’s regularly.
With that being on HBO’s side, there must be some evidence that’s been found that offering an online subscription would be damaging to their television subscriptions (although I can’t imagine how it wouldn’t be, attracting an audience who doesn’t have cable((I am not a market researcher)).

Breaking Bad / S05E08 / Gliding Over All

I remember watching the last scene of this episode at my friend’s house, and being so nervous about what was going to happen. The way it was written and directed was incredible, I was actually speechless. The whole scene was dragged out, with (for the most part) meaningless dialogue, as a distraction, for build up. It was exaggerated and the whole time I could not help but think there were only a few minutes left before I had to wait a whole year for the final season. It was agonizing.

When the credits rolled, we kinda just sat around with our jaws wide open processing what we’ve just watched, and thinking of what will happen in the next 8 episodes.
