Since George R.R. Martin spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, speculation persists the Game of Thrones series will end not with a final season on HBO but a movie (or movies) instead. Since the publication of that infamous Vanity Fair article, emphasizing how the show was quickly catching up with the (as-of-now) unfinished series, discussion has exploded all over the internet.

I know that Big Bang Theory, now on it’s umpteenth season (just kidding guys, they’re on their sixth- er…seventh season), is a huge hit and yes, Jim Parsons is fantastic but let’s be honest here: if you want to watch a show about nerd culture, Amy Poehler’s Parks and Recreation is the only way to go.
