Oh

I've found a new show I like.

It's very good.

It might just be my new favorite.

Watching it once isn't enough

I need to watch it again

The foreshadowing will make more sense now.

Watching it once isn't enough

I need to watch it again and again

I'll notice all the small details this time.

Watching it once isn't enough

I need to watch it again and again and again

I need to watch it again and again and again

I need to watch it again and again and again

Sorry, that's my favorite part.

Isn't enough

Again again again again

Is it better if I'm not watching the entire thing?

Isn't enough

Again again again again again

Isn't enough

Again again again again again

Isn't enough

Isn't enough

Again again again again again

It isn't enough

“Did you notice this detail in the poem?

The number of again's keep increasing!”

Huh, that's interesting

I should rewatch the show to see it in context.

Watching it once isn't enough

I need to watch it again and again and again and again and again and again

It's been a while since I've seen anything but my favorite scenes.

Watching it once isn't enough

I need to watch it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and

Oh

I've found a new show I like.

It's very good.

It might just be my new favorite.
