I'm largely on your side here, I don't care much about Veep's plot machinations, but I think you're doing TTOI a disservice.

didn't spoil a thing for me (thought I maintain a stubborn bafflement at the whole 'spoiler' culture) Still a great episode of a great show and I'm with you about enjoying this one more than BB.

This show is okay but the music is downright exhilarating. It's wonderful seeing an American production where the original soundtrack isn't leaning on harmony like a crutch.
