As it is with most addictions it pushes all other things aside as if nothing else exists. The sole purpose of ones life becomes securing ones next sickly sweet hit. A curiosity becomes a taste, which becomes an indulgence, which in turn becomes an insatiable monster. The pusher becomes the junky. How does one recover from such an affliction?
I got my parents hooked on Smallville, they watche all 3 seasons between Christmas and New Years. I got my brother and his wife hooked on O.C. He texted me last night around 9 telling me how good it is. She texted me this afternoon around 2 damning me for hooking them and how they are just about to go to sleep. And now I've been 24'rd. With my brother over skipping work with a sore ankle I had lunch rewatching episode 4 of season one (which I'd watched just the previous night). So as I leave this day for the land of dreams I tear myself from the family room having watched 15 episodes today. Unintentionally breaking Eye's record of 14. And the only reason I stopped is that I started getting dizzy. Honestly it's like I stepped into a time warp. I just thought of an idea. A 24 hour marathon starting midnight airing each episode on the hour with a 15 (or whatever) min recovery time between episodes. I've seen the light, it can be done with minimal chance of permanent brain damage and or a psychotic break.
Another series I've recently procured and am starting to rewatch is Wonderfalls, man that was a good show. Interesting how after it's fourth week I did some research and found rave reviews galore only to have it mysteriously disappear. Equally curious is the fact that the DVD contains all 13 episodes made, 9 of which never aired.
