I dunno, I'd say Fringe was remarkably good. As for the Office never watched it, I didn't care much for the original.

The Borgias is honestly one of the shows I'll miss the most. Because - unlike, say, the satisfying conclusion to Breaking Bad - it was cut down in its prime.

If you haven't seen Wadjda yet, I'd say that's a better use of your time, but Blue Is The Warmest Colour is basically a mixed bag of a movie: Some very good elements, some… not so much. Probably the best comic book movie of 2013 though.

Yes it is. I know it's one of the stories Martin eventually plans to issue with the Hedge Knight stories in a standalone volume, though.

As much as Wolf on Wall Street gets praised, the trailers are just rubbing me the wrong way, like it exults in the same kind of narcissistic dehumanizing moneyfest it also gets to smugly condemn (via no less a moral authority than Kyle Chandler, who is like everyone's disappointed dad at this point.)

Well, I provided a link, you can just click on the name and hey presto.

Random thought: One of the changes from the comic is the protagonist's name (she's Clementine there.) I suspect the change to the character's name was intentional to reference the actress.

I really need to read Princess and the Queen. I'm just not sure about getting Dangerous Women because half the short stories are from settings I've never read and that doesn't sound like a good starting point for any of them.

Wolf Among Us in gameplay terms just seems to be transitioning away from Walking Dead's 'adventure game with cutscenes' towards 'cutscenes.' Which I'm completely fine with, I felt the piss-easy puzzles of Walking Dead were hardly the highlight of the game. I do get the criticism that the closest it has to gameplay -

His films with Kinski in particular are all darkly funny. Really Herzog's got some pretty funny moments with most of his films.

TV:

It does feel like it would have been a better movie without Khan. Which is not how you want people to feel about Khan if he's in your movie.

I really, really like the Motion Picture. Jerry Goldsmith's score for it is fantastic, the special effects are beautiful, and the plot - even if it does resemble the episode of the original series titled "The Nomad" - is a classically Trek one about exploration and self. And as stiff as some of the acting is, it's a

It's a lot better than the show that bears your name.

I wasn't aware Sarah Palin wanting Martin Bashir to lose his job was her being leftist.

Getting On does not come from the UK, it's a remake. It hasn't aired in the UK yet.

When you say American mythology though, native seems to be obviously relevant.

Actually it does assume exactly what I said it did.

Perhaps I'm not being clear here.

Sky Atlantic isn't even advertising it (like they are, say, True Dectectives and Penny Dreadful) so it is pretty much anyone's guess when they'll air it in 2014.
