There's nothing wrong with wanting your entertainment to remove you from your reality. Some of us just want to be further removed than others. Take it from a Star Trek fan who occasionally needs to go where no one has gone before. :)

Speaking of entertainment, I took your advice and checked out The Walking Dead. OMFG!!! What a show! When the hell did AMC come creeping up on us with all these kickass shows?! Might have to try Breaking Bad next!
