There isn't an ala carte HBO GO option afaik, and if you mean HBO through a cable/satellite provider, I think it's $10-15, but who knows what kind of setup Longhorn has.

Megashares kicks the crap out of everything if you have decent bandwidth and you're willing to wait a few minutes while something downloads. You can queue up shows one-click with a program like flashget and it's a breeze. Downside is that it's illegal, obviously. If it weren't for my girlfriend there's no way I'd pay for uverse (although it's pretty awesome).

I have been having terrible luck with HBO Go buffering.

Again, Justified is just excellent this season. Third season and it just gets better all the time. They're striking the balance between menace and humor in the way all good Elmore Leonard adaptations should, and it's something they really struggled with the first season. Really dark humor too. It's incredible what they've managed to pack in 4 episodes so far.

Tuesday nights are my favorite tv night. Justified and then Southland.

I couldn't tell. Seemed late teens at the earliest. Alan Sepinwall said it was the home's owner in his reveiew, but that seems unlikely. That whole scene was great though.

Loved the bit with Dewey in the bodybag this week.

Throw in the one about the loggers, and those are my 3 favorite reality shows... though I appreciate a Hoarders thrown in here and there.

Yeah, that one's not half bad. I like watching Hoarders and Intervention back-to-back, then spend the rest of the night cleaning and eating healthy foods.

Justified's villains this season have been great, Elmore Leonard type villains. I've also liked how they've stayed true (or returned to) his roots - Detroit connection, Karen Sisco...
