Netflix saved that show from cancellation last time. It can't cost that much for another season when you're spending a billion making Wheel of Time. e: oh that's Amazon. I'm sure The Witcher has a crazy budget then.

It always seemed like a fairly cheap show, but atleast it managed to get a decent end.

New season of Veep is off to a hilarious start. Strange that they changed the protagonist to a Governor from Virginia though. The name doesn’t even really make sense anymore.

Long Live The King!

Last night it surfaced that photos in the yearbook for the Governor of Virginia showed him in either blackface or a KKK hood. He apologized for the pictures but refused to resign. All night people called for him to resign so he scheduled a presser this morning for what most people thought would be a resignation. Instead on live TV he proceeded to deny it was him in the pictures after already admitting it, then admitted to another occasion nobody knew about where he wore blackface to impersonate Michael Jackson for a dance contest, and then when asked if he could moonwalk by the press looked around to see if he had room to do so before his wife told him it probably wasn’t the appropriate time.

Because I'm a pedant: "either blackface or a KKK hood" how does one not tell the difference between the two?

No the picture includes both and until he denied it was him altogether he said he didn’t know which one was him.

The photo has a guy in blackface standing next to a guy in a Klan hood and no one knows which of them is Northam since its 35 years old. And when he first said it was him he didn't say which one he was and now he's saying that he thought about it more and realized he isn't either of them. But he wants to run a facial recognition program on it to find out.

He's merely explaining that his Michael Jackson costume was really good, he believes the poor quality of the blackface costume in the picture is what everyone is mad about.

Unlike a travel companion you’ve known before, a ‘poputchik’ is a complete stranger who happens to travel in the same direction and share your coupe on a train. You are free to open up completely to your best friend pro tempore, because you know that the person will get off at a far away stop, never to be seen again, taking your secrets safely with them... ...unless you become lifelong friends from thereon!

CBS has ordered a pilot for Frankenstein

The latest play on Mary Shelley's novel, this drama follows a San Fran homicide detective mysteriously brought back to life after being killed in the line of duty. As he resumes his old life and he and his wife realize he just isn't the same person he used to be, they zero in on the strange man behind his resurrection - Dr. Victor Frankenstein

Oh my God this is literally just Officer Downe but made by people who hate fun

I watched the first four episodes of Russian Doll tonight and so far my theory is that the professor has a time dick that messes up the time stream of people he's hosed, and then the people they then turn around and gently caress also get their time stream messed up

Ok I don't really think that, I just wanted to type the phrase "time dick"

Trump gave Kim Jong Un a global audience last year in Singapore, something he hasn't really had before because he and his predecessors usually try to keep the country as isolated from the rest of the world as possible, and Trump even said he likes some of the ways Kim Jong Un does things.

I'm not talking about policy, it's not my area of expertise. I'm just saying he was talking about Obama giving it the hard talk in the media and official level stuff about North Korea for years and Russia too, but obviously more diplomatically. Trump did it too, but gave it the frat boy version on twitter.

That's where he compared them. They were talking about giving Trump a voice on twitter and where or do they draw a line. I tuned out 45 mins in, so i'm not sure if they expanded on it.

Kingdom really found the perfect setting for a zombie outbreak. There was a goon in Ask/Tell who did podcasts on the history of Korea and the actions of the officials in the show perfectly mirror that of the actual Joseon dynasty when faced with hordes of bloodthirsty zombies Japanese.
