Excellent show. Watched both seasons. :thumb:
Agreed, and I like the opening theme song.

Yeah. Regina Spektor has a lot of good songs. Probably not in everyone's taste, but I like her.

For the ones just jumping on the bandwagon, I agree. But there's a pretty awesome series of 4 sisters that has been going on for 30+ years and, as a photographer, I absolutely love seeing those images.

My comment wasn't really directed at the song but the intro is nearly a minute and a half. An intro should be like 30 seconds max.

My wife and I mute the intro... song is too damn catchy and get stuck in our heads if we don't mute it.

People who go to the gym, take up the treadmill so they can walk 2.5 mph while checking instagram, Facebook, etc. I just wanna go in, get my 3-4 miles 20 minutes in (**** resolutioners), shower, get changed, and be on my way. Instead I have to bounce to a few machines, watch for an opening, and hope I can sprint over quick enough before another walker takes the machine.

Yes it will resolve itself in February but until then...

My wife and I are binge watching Orange on Netflix and I noticed last night that my wife was singing along to the intro. I realized that I dont know the words at all. I basically drown it out because I just want to get to the show. That intro is just noise to me.
It annoys me that if you watch Arrow back to back, it removes the intro stuff and gets right to the show. I want Orange to do that.

When the people packing up your take-out Chinese order out in multiple plastic forks, fortune cookies, etc. for an amount of food you are planning to eat yourself. Don't judge me!

To add:

When they dont include any chop sticks. Just because I'm a round eye doesn't mean I dont know how to use them.

People that use chopsticks. Glad you're enjoying that Americanized Chinese buffet food with your 'authentic' chop sticks. Great way to make a 30 minute lunch last an hour, or not get your dollar value out of the buffet. The 'you' in all of this is my wife, of course.
