the edgar in chinatown scene (followed by the edgar in fireworks scene) made me feel as good as a tv show should ever make you feel

Thanks, Kent's autism

some thoughts:

silicon valley is hysterlichal

Two IMDB searches later, Vince realized that Luke really was the funny one.

i watched 90 seconds of this show
The basics of a poker hand are very simple and yet tv shows just cannot get things right. The most common mistake is the "I see your bet and raise you" situation which is called string betting and isn't allowed. In Suits, after a guy checked, the next guy said "raise" which is

i like the idea of stars
but not the new opening credits. did i miss that last week?

lieutenant daniels, the fact that his goons were still there made it so much worse: we know they aren't going to drown so let's hang out at the limo for a while. unfortunately, harry dunne is a better shot than either of us. at least we didn't have to wait for hours before they climbed out.

a flair for the theatrical
" at least he was ready to pull the trigger without stalling by way of grandiose sermonizing."
