Side note: I've been wondering what all the hype is about, so I finally decided to sit through a full episode with my co-workers last night to see what I've been missing out on all these years. While watching it, I realized two things: 1) I haven't been. 2) if any single episode was going to win me over, this extra bloody, very gory one wasn't it. Sorry, guys. I tried.
