No need for it now. I was hoping for at least 4 seasons with 7 as the limit before the final retirement of Ash Williams. When they pushed this year's premier to Feb, I saw the writing on the wall though. And it wasn't cool ancient Sumerian writing either. Dicksnouts!
You got that right about Starz. For my cable provider (Xfinity/Comcast) Starz is included in one of the standard basic packages (not the most basic, but one step up, it only costs about 5 dollars extra a month) but the better channels like HBO and Showtime are part of super expensive premium packages or cost quite a bit to add individually. Most people get the Starz package not necessarily because of Starz, but because there are some other basic channels that also come with the package but Starz still benefits. That's my theory anyways. I've gone back to the more basic package without Starz. Not because the extra 5 or 6 dollars is too much, but because Starz doesn't deserve any of my money anymore.
