uh huh. right.
yes, I was referring to the number of eps in each season. one of the reasons HBO series are so well done is because they're limited. limited time constraints on talent. writers/producers are able to tell a story (ala a mini-series) rather than try to string-along x-episodes per season. and more importantly, with all things being equal, it takes twice as long to run out of ideas for a 10-14 ep season than 22-24. s'all I was getting at.
yes, it plays very much like 24</i> when watched consecutively. she's a grad student, btw. grad students (here) are normally 24-35 with an average starting age of about 26years old. also from what I gather, she's part-time, which means just one course at a time (as opposed to 3). first episode was in two parts. you'll know you've seen it if she had on that bright red/orange hair. it was brilliant. if you didn't like that, don't bother with the series.
edit: oh yeah...just got back from charlie and the chocolate factory</i>. no love for the previous movie or the book. thought it was a good movie. typical tim burton fare. entertaining. nothing more. nothing less. (unless you don't understand what I mean by "tim burton fare," in which case you may hate it because you feel like you're watching mullholland drive</i> or something)
...quite a few LOL moments but i don't see why the movie had to have a runtime of 2hrs it could have easily tied things up in 90minutes and still kept all the laughs
