I used to live a few blocks away from a course. After a couple times it became too expensive for me because I kept on accidentally throwing the discs into trees and rivers. Then a man decapitated a girl in the park so I stopped going altogether.

Sometimes when I talk to people about the show they seem to think it would be better if it was just like a dumb action movie where none of the characters had families and there were no female characters. I appreciate the drama in the program just as much as the action. I never got the extreme...
