don't think they dropped the whole season...just a guess benq made based on the reviews...I think they only dropped the 1st four...JA was pretty sure about that
It doesn't really matter if it's 4 episodes... or the
'whole shebang'.
We can see what HBO has
'to lose'...
I just wanna know what they had
'to gain'...
By sending out the episodes early to reporters.
The Risk vs Reward........ is soooooo out of balance.
Because HBO Execs send out the first 4 episodes... to get a few tv writers to 'praise the show' (which they would've done anyway, without needing to see it early

).... just so they can fuck-up their entire season by creating one big ass 'Spoiler-rama-Fest' at the same damn time

Not to mention... they undermine their own product with this dumbass approach to creating 'hype' for the show by letting tv reporters get their hands on it early.
Because how the fuck is HBO gonna expect folks to pay 'em $15 per month to watch THIS show...... when they giving the shit away for FREE at the same time???


This shit ain't like the newest pair of Air Jordans that can be shipped overnight to a magazine reporter to get an 'exclusive' sneak-peek review, because it won't fuck-up all the 'marketing plans' by releasing just 1 pair of kicks that cannot be worn, or redistributed by millions of (unintended) recipients.
I completely agree..... SEVERAL 'somebodies' need to get fired at HBO.
