(Belated) Media Update for Episode 5.01 "Live Free or Die"
Hey everyone! Sorry for being so late with the update this week--RL got in the way a bit -_- Plus there was the one exceptional distraction that was The Dark Knight Rises coming out the same week...which hopefully won't happen again!
My hope is to post every Wednesday or Thursday to catch most of the post ep response. I had to switch around article categories last week to balance things up, but the following format should be the norm from now on. As usual, feel free to post any links or articles I've missed in the comments below.
