It will take four times longer than it did before…
Who cares about the dog?
“I read the manuscript…”
“And?”
“I was impressed… you managed to kill almost all major characters…”
“Yeah! I pray at the altar of the great Martin.”
“I bet… You even killed the dog…”
“Sure! I mean who cares about the mutt, am I right or am I?”
“You do realize this is supposed to be the first episode of the reboot of Lassie, right?”
It may not have happened for real
It may not have happened for real, but it has happened and that’s bad enough.
