Yeah, I started it and got interrupted, but the first 20 minutes was great and I can't wait to get back to it.

I don't think I've ever seen Tim Roth as such an... Unmenacing guy. Although I'm suspecting there's going to be plenty of menace. But seriously, I had to actually check that it was him, since he looked to friendly.

Reviews have spoiled this, but the show itself doesn't: He has a split personality, it's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation, so yeah... he gets pretty nasty starting in episode 3

Also *ahem* there's a thread for it.

Tonight's Halt And Catch Fire was absolutely heartbreaking.

One of the best shows on television. Everyone on there deserves Emmys and Golden Globes.

SHINee's back




It amazes me how much better this show has gotten every year, and I liked season one more than most people seem to. I'm going to miss it.

Kind of relieved they're just ending it instead of dragging it out.

Ever since they announced it would be the final season, I figured Gordon would die this year. I wasn't expecting it to be so sudden or so casually, with like three episodes left to go. As soon as I realized he was dreaming about Donna and the girls, I knew he was gone. drat. Good poo poo.

Looking back at the rest of the episode after it happened, it seemed more obvious they were building to it. I love this show.

Halt and Catch Fire is one of the few shows I'm sort of giving "Tryouts" to the past few days. I think I'm 3ish episodes into the first season. It's not bad but it hasn't really grabbed me yet. I'll keep going though, from what I understand the first season is decent but it gets better from there.

Also Tin Star but I still haven't finished the first episode. I'd say it's just okay so far.

Close. It's been doing a pretty consistent 0.3-0.4 through the entire final season.

The most crazy thing to me was California's insane rule for changing your name including that you have to announce it in a newspaper every week for a month.

Must really suck if your name is something like Crap Sandwich Baker. I feel like there should be exceptions for people with awful parents (one of my ex's named her daughter Aeris and now that the kid is 7 she (the ex) keeps posting on Facebook about how her daughter's school life is a nightmare. Well, fuckin' duh.

There are 7 year olds with that much knowledge of Final Fantasy 7?

IRQ posted:

So, people on PSVue, I'm getting more and more shows with unskippable commercials on DVR and I am almost done with this bullshit. Am I crazy or is this becoming way more common?

I dunno, I ditched PSVue months ago because it had been on a decline for a while, along with their price hike. I'm about to ditch Sling too because I realized that I don't actually care about anything on any of the channels they carry.

Prince made it work, though. If you get a name like that your only hope is to become someone who is known only by one name.

That was a weird lovely story and probably ensured that he wouldn't get much work again after The League since he was also only kind of funny and not good enough to ignore the story he told for 15 years about barely surviving the collapse of the tower.

I don't think he's done anything since the truth came out about two years ago. Last thing I recall him credited for was a New Girl appearance that was likely shot before that.
