Which is why he's perfectly cast in "Dick."

I imagine you must have gotten to the Cities some time well into the '80s or later. It was a pretty regular staple on channel 9, I think, after school (I'm the same age as you); I quit watching TV almost altogether for a lot of years around '86, so couldn't say from that point.

Damn, that's an ugly car, especially for one intended to be real purdy. Great show, but the mid-70s were a dark, dark time for domestic auto makers in more ways than one.

It's not like Coy and Vance were busy.

Sure, a Subaru, but the Legacy is just about the most sensible, practical one he could have chosen, aside from maybe a Forester. A BRZ or WRX would be the wild choice (with a WRX still a bit practical for the family).

Gotta love that Donnie's idea of a really pimp car is a Subaru Legacy.

So, which episode ends or opens with a Katey Sagal song over a four minute montage? I'll guess episode four, five tops.

Or a rolling flashforward showing how each of them dies. Or Don walks around and as he touches each character he sees where they'll be at their happiest future moment.

I've never thought Don was going to die at the end, that's a bit too tidy for Weiner. He's certainly never needed to die the way Walt White needed to by the end of BB. But, yeah, killing them both in the same episode seems really unlikely (barring some kind of time jump forward, which also seems unlikely to me).

Alison's the clone with the husband, house and non-magical kids she wants to keep. It makes sense that she's off doing something else and only getting dragged into the Dyad stuff unwillingly. What she and Donnie are doing is fun to watch, and they are building skills, connections and money that will likely come in…

The 100 is fond of cauterizing, but that doesn't seem too spoilery. Another good sci-fi show not afraid of a little body horror.

So, am I the only one thinking Gracie's provenance might be a little more complicated like her older brother's? A clone of the biological mother to the Leda/Castors would lead to some good OB mind-fuckery. Perhaps Johansson tracked down the mother years later (or vice versa) after he figured out what went wrong with…

The piece that plays over the closing credits (that you hear parts of earlier in the movie) was awfully on the nose, that's for sure.

I mostly hate celebrity actors voice "acting" in their normal voices in animated movies, and Jay Baruchel is offender #1. Just awful. Especially baffling that part of the cast is having a blast with big Scottish accents and everyone else just isn't.

She also wrote The East and The Sound of My Voice. They each have their problems, but I find a lot more good and interesting in them and hope she keeps cranking them out. I love that she didn't like kinds of roles she was being offered so she started writing her own, and they turn out to be weird little sci fi movies.

I saw Primus 20-odd years ago for Sailing the Seas of Cheese, just a ton of fun. Tad opened, $5 ticket, best $5 I've ever spent. One of the shows where they mixed in covers of "Thieves" and "Master of Puppets." A great, "Hey, I know that stuff" show. The pit for Tad's set was dangerous, goofy for Primus. Weird mix for…

Well, that's pretty obscure, these days.

Has HBO ever handled the actual streaming themselves? They seem to always partner with another organization to do that work: first cable and satellite providers, now Amazon, eventually Apple. That's probably our (consumers) best bet, that only a handful of companies can effectively deliver content, that the providers…

Monstrous Regiment was my first or second, and it was awfully confusing (I've since read them all and should get back to that one a second time). As a distaff Watch series entry, it's definitely a weird way to be introduced to Vimes. The central joke still works fine, but there's a lot that doesn't make as much sense…

TVDW knocks down any Oliver speculation pretty effectively over on Vox (short version: there's just no way he's leaving HBO any time soon, the job is too perfect for him).
