Sometimes, extremely very rarely, at the dawn of a blue moon, when a pig flies and an angel gets its wings, sometimes I see why BrooklynBruiser had a vendetta against you.

He really did. It was pretty extreme too for a while, he would send me angry PM's and everything.

I get why people would like that opening though, unlike say, The Mindy Project's. Though I just dislike that show in general.

The music is good, but the actual credits always looked cheap to me. Especially the title wipe with the smoke.

I've been watching House on Netflix, and since they didn't get the rights to the Massive Attack song that was in their credits for network airing, there's some random other Massive-Attack-sounding composition for the opening credits. Now I'm used to that and would probably find the Massive Attack credits weird if I heard them.

HEY HEY HEY YEAH

Both of these are the versions I know. House and Dawson's Creek in the UK have always had different opening music. I always knew Dawson's Creek was different, but I had no idea until now that House wasn't the original.

Lots of shows do lots of stuff as well as Breaking Bad and some even do it better. Given the list of shows you haven't watched it sounds more like the problem is you not watching enough good TV, rather than enough good TV not existing. You'll be fine.

We're we expecting it not to suck? I thought the fact they started advertising it a month before it aired, had picked up when better networks passed on it and that the books are a lovely source meant we weren't excited about it? I guess Corey Stoll is awesome, but he's talent on House of Cards was being the bleeding heart you fell in love with, that hardly translates to me wanting to see him slay vampires or have a protracted custody battle.

Also, GDT couldn't make Pacific Rim look good on a blockbuster budget so...

The main problem with Del Toro is he works only in visuals, so you get an amazing actor like Corey Stoll having to act in an awful looking wig because Del Toro is some immovable loving goon when it comes to that character having hair despite it meaning gently caress all.

Corey Stoll is bald and Del Toro is a big loving baby who wouldn't cast him unless he wore a wig because that was his 'vision'.

In Austin, Cuse told me that Del Toro always envisioned the Goodweather character having hair, and that the only sticking point in hiring Stoll was whether he'd be comfortable wearing a wig.

For a writer/director with such a clear and specific visual sense, I can see where GDT was coming from, but it looks ridiculous.

They should have known there was no way the show was going to get 10+ seasons, if ending up in 1931 was their end goal they should have paced themselves better instead of waiting until the final season and jumping ahead.

That and even the creator of it is bored shitless of it. He's spent more time wanking over his new show in press interviews than talking about Broadwalk and that combined with less than desirable ratings means it's getting a Final grace season that clearly no one can really be arsed with.

It's not a great loss though, unlike Deadwood people will mostly likely look back on Boardwalk and it's short run with a giant shrug of their shoulders.
