Clearly the core concept.

If Heart of Archness proved anything, it's that Archer as an outright criminal warlord was pretty hilarious.

After Computer Chess, a TV series about the 1980s tech boom definitely might have my attention if it's good.

Hannibal's up there, but so is Justified and Mad Men and Game of Thrones and…

Oh yeah to be clear I am absoultely not trying to say that the British are better. For example, the United States allowed non-Protestants to vote long before the United Kingdom did.

Right a couple of points here.

Oh they were. But they at least had production design I was okay with. Babylon was spectacular in Alexander.

Well last I heard they'll be wrapping up with a Dark Horse comic instead (Dark Horse not having the Star Wars license for very long either) so, uh, yeah.

I've read my sharer of nineteenth century Gothic, let's put it that way.

Yeah but nobody really cares if you make up a Hercules story the way they might with made-up Samson stuff.

It's not a trope. The relevant dates here are 1833 and 1865. Yes, it's more complicated than that, but that's another story.

Connie Britton needs a bigger part!

He's not playing Luke. It's a sequel trilogy.

But they did, they just abolished it sooner. And yet outside of say Wilburforce, it barely exists in the pop culture consciousness.

I think it's because Europeans like to pretend there isn't racism, and also because European news doesn't percolate as strongly into the US as vice versa.

Oh yeah Abbie Mills is in that.

I'm thinking Adrianne Palicki as the Han Solo character.

I'm really fond of Ashoka Tano personally, but I haven't watched past season two (I know, I should.)

My affection for Star Wars is… I don't know. Compulsive.

I was pretty excited because of Hunger (which was relevant to me I guess in a vaguely similar way; I still consider it the best fiction film about the Troubles I've seen.)
