Yeah, based on the direction of the show and how he said he would kill himself in solitary, I thought it was going to be a suicide thing. Then there was more than one shot.

I'm definitely still in shock, I haven't moved onto the stages of grief yet. It usually happens much more quickly.

I'm still in shock, I don't think I had time to react because of that preview. A full credits sequence would have been nice.. I think that a shooting is so out of the ordinary for this show is part of the reason, even though I knew what was about to happen. It was directed so well, and the show trusts you to put…

I knew that people had been spoiled but I was away from the internet all day so I didn't know what the spoiler was. When I saw Kalinda and Will drinking I thought "If they sleep together I'm going to punch something". Because people don't get killed on this show, which was one of my favourite things about it. Then I…

But I did always wonder about that extra c. I'm not from the USA, and when I was seven, I read the Babysitter's Little Sister books, which were set in Connecticut. In my head it was 'Connecty-cut'.

I love Veronica Mars, I think it's a lot of fun, but I sort of agree with you. I love both shows for very different reasons, but I've never seen another show like Party Down. (I also tend to avoid fandom in all situations)

No problem. I like being a part of the process. I did some Googling yesterday and it turns out I can't subscribe to Prime but I can buy an Amazon gift card that I can then use to watch the shows.

Those two were the only ones I filled out the survey for, because they were the ones I wanted to see picked up the most.

I think that article makes more sense now than when it was actually written. There's less focus on Chicago on TGW than there is in Baltimore in The Wire, but I think the critique of institutions is present in both.

I noticed that when I rewatched the first NSA episode a couple of weeks ago. When I first saw him on The Wire I recognised him from his three episode stint on Veronica Mars (I'm coming to The Wire very late, but my only regret is that I didn't watch it before I visited Baltimore in January). I definitely recognise…

I couldn't stop thinking about The Wire as I watched this episode, in a completely good way, mainly because I watched the second season finale this morning. It's thrilling when people realise that they're being tapped and have to find another way to communicate.

Todd said on Twitter that Erik Adams was taking over the Newbies reviews, so it's good to know there's someone on staff who hasn't read the books.

Maybe it has something to do with the possibility of Transparent being picked up by Amazon. The Kings have had to end character arcs abruptly because actors have gotten full time gigs on other projects.

Me too. When I heard that Sims was leaving, I really wanted someone who loves this show to review it.

I wasn't going to comment, but this just reminded me of something. I have a friend who only recently started dating and wanted a boyfriend really badly for years, but she would never approach a guy, even if he was looking at her, because she was too shy. And I was talking to another friend about it, and we both…

The only time we got live curling in Australia was when the men's snowboard cross was delayed. There weren't any other events with Australians competing at the time. And then my brother changed the channel so he could watch football, so I saw all of two minutes. I haven't been a big fan of the Australian coverage…

Stephen Bradbury still makes me laugh. Then he went onto be terrible on Dancing with the Stars, and now he's a commentator for whichever Australian outlet is covering the Winter Olympics every four years.

I didn't know we added the beach volleyball. We get more into the Summer Olympics over here because our focus is on summer sports for climate reasons. My favourite sports in the Summer Olympics are gymnastics and the kayak. I hate sports culture in Australia, and the entire nation seemed to treat London as if it was a…

We're not getting over-exposure of any events, unlike the Summer Olympics when it's all swimming all the time.

It's interesting to see what's happening with broadcasts in other countries. In Australia they're focusing on the few sports in which Australians are competing, which meant that we were lucky enough to see all of the snowboard slopestyle events live. There's definitely a comeraderie there that I like compared to other…
