I definitely preferred the first British series to the following ones, but they were all very good. And yeah…there are a lot of "government doesn't work that way problems" in the US version. I still can't get over the Speaker of the House stuff. I could have forgiven it if I found any of the character interaction…

Yeah that's defintiely a part of it. A lot of my probems with House of Cards always came back to "Why does anyone trust this guy for a second, when they all seem to be aware that he's betrayed 20 people in the last 5 minutes?". His rise to power in the British version was so much more measured and believable by…

Yes, I believe we had this conversation a month or so ago. I actually did get around to watching the original British version! It was interesting to see all the things that played out as laughable in the US version be so compelling.

I think we all know that the real problem here is a dangerous lack of Low Winter Sun.

The Writers Guild (didn't) send their regards!

He also plays the piano solos in "In My Life" and "Good Day Sunshine". Both of which are solidly in my top 5 Beatles solo sections.

she also had a lot to do with Revolution 9 which is…..something.

The Lindsay Buckingham/Stevie Nicks centered biopic that is probably 20 years away will be fantastic.

I would give it to George Martin, especially in the early days when the boys had no clue how to produce music. His influence definitely faded post Revolver when he became more of a school-master making sure they didn't go to crazy. Preston was pretty much just a guest musician on one album, I wouldn't call him "the…

Bryan Cranston.

Yes to all of the above. I am always a fan of Ian McShane being in things and saying words.

I truly adored their relationship. Say what you will about the finale but their exchange makes me tear up every damn time.

Don't we all?

Doesn't that describe 90% of the AHS cast?

If it is done by Lance Reddick, it will look glorious

As long as there is John Barrowman man ass I'll take twelve.

They would probably have tremendous sex.
