sitting on our DVR ever since.

Tonight we finally decided to sit down and start GOT.

It turns out that when InDemand went away, so did the episodes. (This might be standard, but we had never done it before so we had no idea.) Every episode we tried to play brought up a black screen and an error message.

Fuuuuck.

- We just talked about that - we're not sure we want to spend the money on something until we've seen at least a few episodes. - kelly Jun 28, 17:48 17
  - I could give you a link and you could pull a couple of episodes off the net to see if you like the show. -- nm - Under the Influence Jun 28, 17:55 1
    - We're just going to buy it after all - thank you, though! -- nm - kelly Jun 28, 18:04
  - Then do the $10 deal and see if you like it. It's a dollar an episode. -- nm - David Jun 28, 17:51 5
    - We decided to just pull the trigger - Will's asking if this requires us to register for the message board? -- nm - kelly Jun 28, 17:53 4
      - Yes. Ordinarily I would offer to act as a go between but I'm in a blood feud with Paypal at the moment. -- nm - David Jun 28, 18:00 3
        
        Do you have an account here? Should we add you as the referrer? -- nm - kelly Jun 28, 18:04 2
        
        It doesn't work like that but thank you for the offer. - David Jun 28, 18:09 1
        
        Okay, thanks. -- nm - kelly Jun 28, 18:12
  - oh just buy the second best currently airing show on TV right now already. -- nm - Reagen Jun 28, 17:50 8
    - I might put it ahead of Breaking bad actually (assuming that is your #1) -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 17:54 1
      - yes. -- nm - Reagen Jun 28, 17:58
    - (second? what's the first?) -- nm - kelly Jun 28, 17:51 5
      - Paula Deen's Fried and Prejudice. -- nm - Reagen Jun 28, 17:55
      - I'm guessing he'll say Breaking Bad. (Can't argue with that too much, except for Skylar, though I think I prefer Mad Men more overall.) -- nm - Don Homer Jun 28, 17:54
      - Reagen loves him some Kardashians. -- nm - David Jun 28, 17:51 2
        
        I figured him for a Duck Dynasty fan -- nm - Remlik Jun 28, 17:53 1
        
        Too much Beard Jealousy. -- nm - David Jun 28, 17:53
