I'm assuming the last one is a gore-themed porn parody.

It's not a reboot, so he'd be playing Sam Holo or something, but yes, this is exactly the sort of role Abrams should grab him for.

Intelligence you kind of want to not be terrible because it has Sawyer from Lost.

It's sorta like Cowboy Bebop, but cheesier and more of an outright comedy, even if it doesn't excel at the comedy.

I feel like I'll probably check out Penny Dreadful, but I have zero expectations for it. They use that title and yet not a single actual character is from a Penny Dreadful in the main cast.

Saul Goodman: Look, pal, this is the government. You can con them, you can squeeze them, but it's not a good idea to go off and do something half-cocked like that. What next, shoot the President's dog?
*laughs incredulously at his own joke, puffs a cigar*

Yeah but the first season has Tina talking about her erotic zombie dreams.

Many things, so I'll mention two things most people wouldn't.

It's more of a black oil show, apparently.

Although for the newbies sake it'd be nice if people didn't cackle in glee obviously awaiting their reaction like with the Red Wedding.

Give Darin Morgan his due here.

It'll be a Lone Gunmen to X-Files' Breaking Bad!

I dunno. Inside Llywellyn Davis, I guess. Anticipating stuff I already know is supposed to be good is a lot easier.

Masters Of Sex is fantastic.

Anyone who says that hasn't seen The Killing.

Yeah, it's another great product from Space Channel. In spite of all lack of evidence I like to compare it to Charlie Jade but no seriously it's a lot of fun.

Wasn't Jeri Ryan on Leverage?

Paths of Glory is a great early Kubrick. It's pretty much the movie that ensured he'd be Douglas' pick for director of Spartacus after the first director bailed.

Oh there's a lot of subtlety in Eisenstein's films too. But they're all compositional: How he frames certain characters, their costuming, whether or not this shot is a reference to a certain popular painting… the propaganda is thuddingly direct, but there's other stuff working behind that.

The Edmund Meisel score? Yes that is the best way to watch Battleship Potemkin.
