As far as biggest waste of talent goes, that has to be The Newsroom.  I'm perversely looking forward to the continued hate-watching of it in the summer. It can't possibly continue to be so terrible, right?

You're the worst.

And we say goodbye to Luck, as it will likely never be talked about again, now that year-end lists are pretty much done.  At least I'll always have Gettin Up Morning's first race.  Also the Blu-Rays.

It's The Master by a mile for me.  It just worked for me.  Not totally understanding it or PTA's thesis doesn't matter when I was so in awe of what was on screen.
