Perhaps the biggest praise for a TV show is the ability to get a person who has sworn off all TV watching to tune in week after week, with bated breath, to see what his or her favorite characters have been up to. This is what makes HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and AMC’s now-defunct “Breaking Bad” winners.

Robert Pattinson, formerly known as Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga” movies, is now promoting a new film, “The Rover,” also starring Guy Pearce. He’s one of those people who, before these two shows started airing, hadn’t watched TV in a very long time.

In a new interview with MTV News, Pattinson admits that he’s a huge fan of both, while also revealing that each episode of “GoT” has the potential to make or ruin his week. Considering the events on season 4, my guess is Pattinson hasn’t had a good week in a very long time.

“My entire week, all I do, genuinely all I do with my week is wait ’til Sunday so I can watch Game Of Thrones. And if I don’t enjoy the episode, it will ruin my next week,” Pattinson says. “I literally haven’t loved something that much since, like, my family.”

Welcome to the club, Robert! We don’t have cookies here, but we do have people who are still very upset with the producers about how they ended season 4. Are you too among them? Let me know in the comments section, right after you have watched the video below.
