BITCH



Am I the only one who wants that new Breaking Homicide show on ID to fail horribly before the end of the first season because the hosts look like terrible obnoxious shitlords?

Conan O'Brien and Jordan Schlansky have their Italy trip today as well. Never been more excited for a travel episode.

It's been great so far. I'll admit I haven't seen all the Schlansky bits, but I wouldn't have expected to finally see him break over a fart soundboard.


Edit: oh yeah, Conan and Jordan totally banged.

I watched Killing Eve lasynight, mucho enjoyed. It's that korean chick from the hospital show, hunting a super sexy female hitperson.
I think its BBC or BBC America... I'm without my notes.

Lost in Space (out tomorrow!) seems to be getting decent reviews. I'm not flipping the gently caress out about it but I'm always happy to have an adequate scifi show. Most reviews say it looks amazing.

Oh also, the best scifi show ever made, The Expanse, is back tonight.

I recently learned that in 2004 John Woo directed a pilot for a Lost in Space reboot for the WB that was scrapped because a full series would have been too expensive. Also that some of the sets were re-used for Battlestar Galactica.

Sandra Oh is hella Canadian, wouldn't be surprised if it's a joint Canada/BBC thing.

Killing Eve is great and like the the 1st season of Unreal it will definitely leave me super disappointed in all the male romantic leads for Villanelle and Eve and hope they kiss instead.

I don't know who keeps telling these British actors they can do American accents, because they can't.

I like when Martin Freeman tries because sometimes it's charmingly quaint (Fargo) and most of the time it's just hilariously obvious (Black Panther).

It's actually both of those in both of those cases.

His Minnesota accent or whatever sounded really strange. Almost otherworldly. I actually would have liked if he played the Billy Bob role with that accent.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Jeez, I'd head you nonsense-peddlers vehemently recommend Hap and Leonard before but I didn't pay any attention based on its dumb title. Stumbled upon the plot description today and it seems right up my alley. Why didn't you people try harder?

I've heard tons of complaints about Dominic West's accent in The Wire.

Hugh Laurie must be half way decent, as tons of people thought he was 'doing' an accent when he hosted SNL.

I’m about 20 minutes into the first episode and it’s kind of really dumb, which I do not mean as a complaint. Unless it goes off the rails, which doesn’t usually happen with BBC shows with short seasons, it’s probably gonna be a decent time killer.

TVLine has a renew / cancel scorecard that's generally pretty accurate, even if the site's design is ghastly and Michael Ausiello is entirely too full of himself.
