I think FARGO will be the stealth version of BETTER CALL SAUL - instead of a Cinnabon in Nebraska, Saul relocates to Bemidji, MN as Deputy Bill Olson. It'll be super!

Least romantic band I know is probably Negativland. Their brilliant short song "Clowns & Ballerinas" would kill all passion quickly (http://www.youtube.com/watc… ) - a close second would be "Christianity Is Stupid."

Great piece - but I think there's a second distinction between types of plot-driven storytelling that helps your point (and sorry to flex my professorial muscles here, but I'm writing a book about this stuff).

Todd - you'll have ample Ellen material to work with in season 2, where her plotline is more central and fully realized.

Don McKellar also co-wrote 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould, which is a masterpiece!

I don't think madness and ghostness are mutually exclusive…

After the news broke of finding Richard III's bones in Britain, my first thought was "I hope Slings & Arrows comes back to do a season about that!"

Internet, where's the GIF?

The preview for next week said NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU, so I'm expecting high levels of batshittery going down. My best crackpot theory: Abu Nazir cast an Ancient Muslim curse while in the tunnels, allowing his soul to transfer into a nearby person in death. He now possesses Carrie, and will find new ways to…

"Many of the type of people who watch this show" live in DC? 5.7 million people watch the show on Showtime each week (not including DVD, illegal downloads, etc.). What percentage of those viewers do you assume are DC residents?

Brody is so broken that he's easy to manipulate rather than a true believer. He's more of a timebomb ready to be spun around again than a triple agent.

Yes, but saying that Leone "specializes in widescreen agony" is pretty lovely.
