Chester commented on 'New syllabus: Game of Thrones: Bold Plan or Blasphemy?'

Scott, the last time I watched Jackson's movies, I felt that they looked like shitty '80's action films, and it disgusted me. I remember how I felt after I saw Fellowship, and I walked right out of Two...

The problem with being a lecturer is that if I thin the herd too much, they'll just cancel the class in Week Two. So I need to find some way to keep at least 75 percent of the originally enrolled...
