I'm probably one of the few people who got bored and irritated with it...<br /><br />But back to the Marvel offices comparison, suffice to say: plotting, scheming, double-crossing, tribalism, simmering resentment, raw aggression, people forced to fall on their sword, etc. etc.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-35764349923417764402017-01-10T05:20:35.473-05:002017-01-10T05:20:35.473-05:00M.P., your sentiment probably reflects the feeling...M.P., your sentiment probably reflects the feelings of many other readers at the time. (And perhaps more than a few Marvel staffers, as well!)<br /><br />Warren, I think I watched two seasons of "Game Of Thrones" before HBO snatched it off whatever I was watching it on (Netflix?). Someday I'll have quite a series to catch up on, assuming they ever release their grip on it--but until then I'm afraid I have no frame of reference for your comment. (I think I'm probably one of the few people who don't tune in the series religiously--I keep telling people it's HBO's fault, not mine!)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-34389989464744506372017-01-09T19:06:22.626-05:002017-01-09T19:06:22.626-05:00Great summation, CF.

It might as well have been Ronald McDonald, at the end there. Just as long as they put it to bed already!<br />Interesting post!<br /><br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
