Klosterman is turning out to be a pretty decent writer for "Grantland" and I'm tempted to pick up his new book. There is very little I enjoy more than good writing on silly topics.

Watched the premier of a new english show called "Threesome" last night. Was kind of funny, pretty clearly trying to be an english "It's always sunny". About a twenty-something couple and their gay roommate who get drunk, have a three-way, and the chick gets pregnant. So its main difference from "Sunny" is that it has a plot. But it had its moments, and while most english television is god-awful, for some reason the shows that are good can be really really good. (Inbetweeners being the best recent example, The Office before that, going all the way back to Fawlty Towers.) For now, the show has earned the right to be recorded.

Finally catching up to Breaking Bad, almost done with Season 2. This scene was pretty fucking epic, and I immediately recognized TV on the Radio.
This part was cool too: |

You're wrong, but I expect that from such a culture-less homo.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of Seventeen Moments of Spring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and it's very refreshing to watch. I will write a full review later, but 2 episodes in I feel as if I'm watching something very important. If you like history and documentaries I have a feeling you would like this show, so long as subtitles don't put you off.

Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if they'll be able to recapture the magic of 20 years passed.
I came here to say that I've been watching American Horror Story on FX and it's fantastic. Very creepy, suspenseful and all that stuff. Highly recommended. |

Breaking Bad spoilers, just finished 4th season:
So did Walt actually poison Brock, or was that just supposed to be symbolism/coincidence? I'm leaning towards the former what with Walt practically losing his mind and all/being brilliant, but I guess we won't be sure until next season Also, if the poison wasn't Ricin, what happened to the tube in Jesse's cigarettes? Definitely a badass finale. |

I love how they pretty much wrapped everything up at the end of the previous two seasons. It makes it less annoying waiting for the next season. It also makes it seem like when they end the show, the loose ends will be tied up and it will actually feel like the show is over.

Why the fuck would they slow pan to the plant in the back yard if he didn't do it? Why Blonde? Symbolism also is not the word you are looking for ... symbolism implies one thing standing for something else ... a poisonous plant can not be a "symbol" for itself. | |

Perhaps the word I was looking for was "foreshadowing". In any case, it's definitely the former, but there ARE some doubts out there -- no need to slap me around.

This is the only season I have liked Skyler White and not thought she was a [total] dumb bitch. It's the only season she was anything remotely useful.
DH, how would he even find out? Unless he happens to see plant in backyard, I guess. But still, a common plant...and once again it could always be that Gustavo framed him. I also wonder if the "I let your girlfriend choke to death" thing will ever come out, too. |
