Demanding peer-reviewed sources every time just kills conversation, most people argue from vibes anyway.

3 episodes at 2am on a Tuesday is not the same as 3 episodes at 8pm on a Sunday, sure, but that alone flipping your whole take on a season feels like a stretch. I've stayed up way too late watching stuff and yeah I'm crankier, but a bad show is still bad at noon the next day. Your mood and how tired you are can change how much you enjoy something in the moment, but it doesn't rewrite what the show actually is. If one rewatch at a normal hour turned a season you hated into a 4 day binge, maybe you just went in wanting to hate it the first time. That's a you thing, not some big truth about how TV works.

Denver framing in January is no joke with that dry air, so a good week there is worth something. But trimming being the bad part is backwards for most guys I know, trim is usually where the job gets fun. Framing is the part that beats you up.
