It wasn't the source unless you use their convoluted logic

So, we still don't know where the source is?

their logic was that the mouth of the nile was the straights of Gibraltar, so they went east (farther from the straights of Gibraltar),  the source of the nile seems to still be up to some debate, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Nile, but it's safe to say that top gear did not find it

Suits is back in 11 days, I'm hyped.

Suits...such a great show. Has the best intro song too.

And the chick who plays Rachel, Meghan Markle, is sooo hot

[Vega]

Top Gear wasn't funny.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Breaking Bad?

[TigerFan]

Am I the only one who doesn't like Breaking Bad?

Yes.  That I'm aware of. 

[mimontero88]

Am I the only one who doesn't like Breaking Bad?

Definitely on Earth though I would suspect that when those radio waves reach alien civilizations they, too, will enjoy it thoroughly.

I know a guy who only watched like 5 episodes from right in the middle, and he didn't like them at all, so whenever I mention it he says, "Oh yeah, that's the show where chicken man gets blown up."

I'm halfway through Season 2. This show is just ... dumb.

It all stems from the premise that Walter decides cooking meth is a more viable alternative than sucking up his pride, and taking the cushy job and/or money from the guy who screwed him and started a hugely successful business. Everything just goes to crap from there. The entire show is completely fixable if Walter simply says, "Yes, I will take that absurdly high paying salary with fantastic health care from you."

Keep watching it. The show doesn't really pick up until Season 3 IMO.


Defiance season finale was kind of disappointing. In fact the entire season after the pilot was kind of a let down. Not sure if I'll bother with Season 2.

Under The Dome wasn't bad though.

Oh I disagree with this - Breaking Bad "picks up" in the first 30 seconds of Season 1. It gets even more intense from there, but it's already awesome.

That said, Slate, I thought about that a lot while watching. What it comes down to (and more about this is slowly revealed) is that Walter is an jerk and a not-so-good person from the very start. He's powered by rage and pride and power-hunger, and he can't stand the idea of owing anybody else anything.

Top Gear wasn't funny.

It wasn't the most side splitting show ever, but I thought it was entertaining.  I like the races like that.

That's just pride. He has no rage and no power hunger. He's just a prideful, weak nag.

[Lintyfresh85]

No rage? Keep watching, then.

I liked it, the race was good, but not conducive to the banter that makes for a great top gear episode

[Slateman]

I shouldnt' have to watch two full season of a show for it to get interesting.

[hammondsnats]

It's got sloppy writing and some of the actors are terrible but the show is okay enough I guess. It won't last past a second season.

huh?

they just 20 episodes for season 1 ... season 2 has already been renewed for 22 more episodes.  they are an hour long. 

i'd say revolution is lasting.

[hammondsnats]

excited for The Bridge tonight.

i watched the first episode and part of the 2nd and just didnt really enjoy it. i can see the appeal, but it wasn't my thing.

I could get on board that train.

Top Gear was better this week but still not all that great.

Newsroom returned last night. Great show, although I don't like the new intro music.

Suits returns tonight!
