The Fall owns, you will love it. The last season is so good.

Also, my oldest daughter is Arya's doppelganger (except cuter imho).

It's been this way for a while but even moreso this season where they clearly have plot points they want to hit but don't care about setting it up or having it make sense so they just jump from thing to thing and assume the audience is too dumb to care. Which to be fair is pretty accurate.

It's really hard to tear yourself away from. I'll tell you right off don't bother with the third season, though you'll probably watch it anyway.

I look forward to watching the Fall. Work has been slow and Amazon Prime has a few good shows so I re-watched Justified, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, and was looking for something else. Good timing thread.

Also holy gently caress the acting in Deadwood is so good. The worst actor is the handsome lead, who feels like got added to the show because some exec was like "we need a handsome lead" and thus Tim O got his job.

No, I agree with you. It just meanders around with a few loose ends, introduces a few more that are pointless and/or don't get resolved, and pretty much ends up finishing where the second season did anyway.

Hey for anyone who likes The Fall, I recommend Broadchurch. It's another really good BBC series in the same genre.

Fair enough. The wife and I enjoyed it, but I can see how you would think that. I just loved seeing how different Paul was in that season. Like the internal games he was playing was loving brilliant, I thought he, pardon the pun, killed it that season. Of course Gillian was amazing and the last episode was :stare:

Not true. The guy who wrote the music for Guys and Dolls wrote the song, he wasn't writing a popular song about date rape. The expression "say what's in this drink" was something people said as a way of expressing "hey I'm getting pretty loaded here!" It's been interpreted now to mean her date is trying to drug her, but that's not the original intention of that saying. The song is about sex, and her wanting to stay and have it, but feeling pressure from external forces to turn the man down. He attempts to offer her a number of excuses that she can give to protect her reputation. But make no mistake, she wants to bang.

Amateur songwriters, yeah. I don't think anyone has done an official release that removed the "what's in this drink?" And the "what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?" Line.

I had a pretty funny parenting moment yesterday with my 13 year old son. He has been playing club basketball, getting pretty good and has grown a bit recently so he was feeling all tough and challenged me to a 1 on 1 pickup game. I wasn't about to go easy on him, so I was actually playing defense, blocking shots, driving on him, etc. Well, at 8-0 I was joking and told him that if I skunked him and beat him 11-0, he would have to play the next game in his boxers. Fast forward to the end of the game, I beat him 11-0 and he was all mad. I turn around to get a drink, turn back around to see him pulling off his shorts over his shoes and then taking his shirt off to play the next game in his boxers.

I was laughing so hard he went up 4-0 on me the next game before I was able to reign it in. Sons are awesome, I suggest making one or many :discourse:

So what you're saying is that she was asking for it

It dawned on me today that taking care of my three-year-old must be very sumilar to having a job in the Trump White House. I'm at the beck and call of someone with the intellect of a toddler and pretty much everything I do is directly for their benefit. And half of it results in a bunch of whining.

Somebody give me a guv'mint job.
