It was a solid episode-- Drake was funnier than I expected him to be. I think they tried to showcase the new black female cast member just a bit too much.stlouie_lipp wrote:Drake was pretty good on SNL last night.

Pity we aren't going to get to see Rothstein get shot on "Boardwalk Empire", not unless they do a time skip to 1928.

Yeah, it was pretty transparent that they were responding to the critics of their lack of diversity in the cast.

Re: TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery
I binge watched season 3 of Walking Dead over the last week or so. I don't begrudge anyone for continuing to like it, but I think I'm about done unless I hear really good things about future seasons. There was all that buildup for the final battle and then nothing happened. They set a perfect trap and yet if Carl and the Governor don't go psycho no one dies. Merle's banzai attack was more effective than any of that, but somehow he loses a fist fight when he has a [expletive] sword for a hand. I kept waiting to see what would happen first, someone would finally miss a perfect head shot on a moving target or someone would finally take an easy opportunity to kill the Governor. It ended in a stalemate. And Rick is perfectly comfortable sending anyone outside of his original group to their certain death but then suddenly turns into Mother Theresa and triples the mouths he has to feed? Why wouldn't they just take over Woodbury rather than stay at the prison? So many annoying things. There's only so many cheap scares from walkers showing up or reanimating that I can take, and the story doesn't seem to be getting any closer to an actual conclusion.

Season three was definitely a departure, but probably my favorite so far. Funnier and much less rigorous. Especially Watson as a badass, and Mycroft's larger role.trill wrote:YesssVidor wrote:SHERLOCK!

I finished season 3 of Louie last night on netflix. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I feel confident saying it's the best show on television right now. I could go on and on about how brilliant it is. I love the characters, narrative, tonal shifts, lack of continuity, structure, etc. Everything.
