having been raised by a TV -- it was my only sibling, my only parent -- i can safely say that this is the best television i've ever seen. yes, hyperbole, but intercourse the penguin. as a writer (yes, a real one, whatever that means) i tell you that this series is more better than most movies i've seen. no one is more shocked than me. American movies have degenerated into corporate "events" that bore the parenthetical excretions out of me, and dare i say everyone else. Hollywood, please take notice: honesty and creativity work; no $100M SFX budget is required to make us care. Shakespeare didn't write for money. no, he didn't. oh, ultimate spoiler: Shakespeare was really Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. i capitalize out of respect, and for our neglect. our apologies, Edward. you are the master.
