Today I made a call to my TV service provider that was long overdue. “Hi there! I’m good, thanks. I’d like to cancel my TV subscription all together.” The bottom line, is that I am paying far too much for the amount of television being watched in my house. And when you dwindle it down to the shows that my family really want to watch, it hardly seems justified. When my bill jumped from $135/month to $165/month, I knew it was time.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, how fucking incredible was this week’s episode (3×04, Exodus Part 2)? I’ve watched up until the end of Season 2 with my wife at least 3 times in its entirety and we thought we had seen “the best episode” a few times already. Well, I do believe Exodus Part 2 takes that crown, at least for now. For those that haven’t seen it or aren’t up to speed in Season 3, there are serious spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned.
