I liked that even Gary had to say "very nice", rather than making some lame gay joke

@ddt : I don't think it was an oversight not to include any black characters in TWE; it's just that bumblefuck nowhere towns in England tend not to have any. We're a very ethnically diverse nation as long as you stick to the major cities. If you're a city dweller, it's quite a shock going back to a one-horse town and…

- It's very roomy in here, isn't it?
- Yes, yes, very roooomy.

What @persia2:disqus said. He is living the life he dreamed of, but he dreamed it when he was a cocky child, and he's built up his own legend so much that he can't admit that, like most kids' ideas, it was dumb.

Oh, and when Gary was saying he wanted to be "free… to do what we wanna do…", was anyone else lip-synching along in the cinema?

I assumed he was ordering water because they didn't have beer after the apocalypse. (I didn't notice what the locals were drinking though, so maybe that's just wrong).

Got a great big laugh a couple of days ago in Greenwich. I'm assuming most British people seeing this have seen a Wright movie before (with the exception of a few boyfriends/girlfriends being dragged for the first time).

Especially as a bad guy.

And look at him move!

Once they've been in enough episodes, the mourning goes into syndication.

I guess what I've learned from this thread is that I really need to go finish the books. I only read the first 2 - the first one was exactly the same as the film's first act (pretty much word for word) and the second was massively similar. (And to be fair also, no film has ever been made from a book without losing…

Holy fuck - reading that, I just realised, retroactively, that that was Reece Shearsmith. Who is also in The World's End. /coolstorybro

Wow, @avclub-a93a879594c13c12a83fd45ab289a022:disqus , can you literally not understand anyone who doesn't have an American accent? I'm not trying to diss; I'm just surprised because no-one in Spaced (other than perhaps Marsha) has a thick accent.

Again, I'm a month late so nobody's actually reading this, but I do remember the "name and shame" campaign, whereby the NoW reprinted names and mugshots (and possibly home towns) of offenders from the register for a while, accompanied by articles with "doctors" attesting that paedophiles are a) physically incapable of…

Ay, could be worse. You could live in Serbia or Slovakia…

Second finest. When Marie had the talking pillow and told Skyler to stop telling Walt what to do, that was the first time one of the secondary characters stuck their neck out, and marked the exact moment at which the show started getting interesting for me.

@avclub-b5cb9f509a3c7ea80d83e228f9d77e67:disqus You say that as though circumstances aren't important. (What if Walt never had cancer to begin with, for example?) And sure, I probably wouldn't be her friend if I knew her IRL, but I have to wonder why people aren't up in arms about how Hank's a douche (which he still…

Ohhhh… right. Gotcha. (I don't know the episode titles.)

Shameless TV networks, trying to milk money out of their high-budget show, like some sort of… company.
