I don't miss an episode either. Not sure what I expect but I'm disappointed.

Every time they do the sequences showing the progression of an idea, I'm reminded of connections and how great a presenter James Burke was. To me, it's a fine show, but the host is only good, not great

The new FX series Fargo is set in 2006, while the 1996 Oscar winning film by the same name was set in 1987. This week's Episode 4 just tied the two together. The movie ended with most of the money hidden by someone who could never find it again.

FX's Fargo: Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton

Hodor snap!

It would almost be better without all the CGI. And maybe without the underlying assumption that they have to slap the non-believers.

Connections was a TV show?

Current?

It hasn't been on for years, the first series was in 1978, then they brought it back in 94 and again in 97

Best GoT episode yet. Unbelievable acting, unbelievable build-up to the inevitable crapstorm.

It's amazing how a story can have characters who you root for and root against flip day to day and episode to episode. In totality everyone freaking suck, but some people suck less. I think that's a great approach that's hard to do and keep balanced. But they do it.

Seriously if you haven't seen it, go watch Derek on Netflix.

Nathan · « **Reply #1889:** June 03, 2014, 12:58:48 AM »

I keep getting recommended that on my PS3 Netflix app, so it's good?

It's really good. The way I describe it to people is that it's different from your run-of-the-mill show in the same type of way The Office was. Not that it has a ton in common with The Office, besides the "Documentary" style.

Isn't one of them a satire and the other a drama? Silicon Valley, as a place and a culture, badly needs satirizing right now. Those self-important bastards need to be taken down 5 or 6 pegs.

I didn't think I'd like The Leftovers, but the pilot was pretty good.

An Epic Marathon of Every Simpsons Ever is being aired on cable TV's FXX channel (which is buried in the sports channels section by Comcast). It's all seasons from the beginning, running all day and all night, over 12 days. They are currently on Season 5 from 1994.

EDIT: It is 12 days of 552 episodes.
