  • nice article; new enough and long enough, and the hook comes is cited to a direct quote from an HBO executive. Image is CC licensed and fine to use. Only concern is that the quote says "probably 160", which sounds like an estimate, whereas the hook presents it as a fact. I think this is inconsequential enough to be okay, for the sake of maintaining interest in the hook. ~ Boomur [] 04:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
