I have seen a bunch of episodes and I did enjoy it. I just never watched it religiously, so many things from the show (especially out of context) will fly over my head.
I didn't watch religiously either, but when you have a few hours to kill and painting to do, you put it on as background noise
Not unless you have a crapload of money and then the business acumen to initiate a buyout they can't refuse
There is always the tiniest of chances. I still have a small amount of hope that I could one day lead AoS to ruin!
