·         “I’m hustled back to my place, and the smoke machine kicks in. Someone calls for quiet, the cameras start rolling, and I hear ‘Action!’ So I hold my bow over my head and yell with all the anger I can muster, ‘People of Panem, we fight, we dare, we end our hunger for justice!’ ·         There’s dead silence on the set. It goes on. And on. ·         Finally, the intercom crackles and Haymitch’s acerbic laugh fills the studio. He contains himself just long enough to say, ‘And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies.’”	72	·         (R) Haymitch is back! I’ve never held him in high esteem but since this woman ( Suzanne Collins) has decided to practically remove Peeta from the story by having him being held by the Capitol and permanently removed Cinna from the story( he gets killed during interrogation), I guess I’ll have to take what characters I can get. I miss the aforementioned characters with a passion (especially Cinna, he was one of my favorites!) so I’m glad that Haymitch has reentered the story - hopefully he can bring in some spice or something! Even he has been feeling some of Collins wrath! The reason he was out of the story for this long was because there is no alcohol consumption in 13, so Haymitch was forced to go cold turkey. Then again, Haymitch has never really had that great of a story line to begin with anyway.
