Wow. A blog post about a television show and bemoaning the fact that you can't discuss it weekly anymore ends with the overly-dramatic line: "How do you want to spend your life?" Indeed, do you really want to spend your life crying over the lack of ability to discuss a TV show with your co-workers?
This complaint was raised by a lot of television critic-bloggers during the first run of Netflix releases (House of Cards and Arrested Development in particular). I think it's ludicrous. If you and all your friends really think that weekly spoiler-free discussions are the most important thing, then just agree to watch 1 episode a week. We already have to deal with this sort of thing with weekly releases, if someone misses the recent episode (or someone else is catching up with earlier seasons on VOD).

I thought this article was satirical.
I sometimes have to wonder what someone from a poor, war-ravaged country must think when they stumble across things like this.
