Jaden Smith yelling out "I love drugs!" seemed meta.

"Poison" has had quite the run lately. Silicon Valley, one of the TNT halftime shows last week in the NBA playoffs, and now this. Bell Biv DeVoe, getting paid.

TV by the numbers lists it as Owned too, I think?

I thought I heard Mail Robot in the scene with Stan and Gaad by the elevator, but maybe that was my mind playing wish fulfillment tricks on me.

Better Off Ned. But I guess they basically wrote that one already

Annual suggestion:

Too bad. And I imagine it's probably not going to get a prestige series reprieve. http://www.hollywoodreporte… suggests that it's going to be on Channel 4 in the UK, so maybe it will do well enough there that they pony up a little money too? But I won't hold my breath.

If he only made certain to properly follow proper protocols, no such problems would exist.

For the sake of utter randomness, "No More Heroes" by the Stranglers.
