This show displays a very different kind of villain than most shows. It's much more real and sadly common for many. That villain is social apathy. I think that's why this ending felt like a gut punch for so many and that's just on one level.

That ending was unbearable. It illustrates how little Chuck understands Jimmy, and for that matter, people like him. Jimmy has worked devilishly hard to get somewhere and has been thwarted time and time again. Like most viewers, I suspected that Hamlin was just some sort of rat bastard and cheered on Jimmy's insults.…
This was a very well written character study of one of television's most fascinating leading men. It reminds me how much I will miss this show. What a wonderful surprise it was discovering this one night and finding out that it was so much more than some "critical darling," and that it actually lived up (and beyond)…
Thank God they didn't do that. Every single person who displays any humanity/acts like a moral compass is summarily executed. It leaves a bad taste after awhile with this show's very heavy handed social politics. Besides, Glenn is actually a well written character and it would really suck if they cut off one of the…
I think he's a strong enough actor and an interesting enough character that this could actually work. That opening had a western vibe written all over it and with that staff all I could think was Kane from Kung Fu.
You're right. That movie was pretty fucking hilarious.
I think that the death of metal in the mainstream sense was a perfect storm. The hair bands had gotten unbearable and the older ones who were decent had all disbanded by 1990. Priest and Maiden both lost their singers and Sabbath was in turmoil. Thrash bands either went commercial ("The Black Album," "Countdown To…

I wonder what tricks Boyd still has up his sleeve? I love the ambiguity of this show. We all just KNOW that all hell will break loose but we just are waiting for the how and when. This is great entertainment.
The three Rainbow albums he was on were "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow," "Rainbow Rising" and "Long Live Rock And Roll," (great title!)
I'll upvote this for all those who cannot upvote because of racism.
I like some Elf but it never had me like his more metallic work did. There was no doubt that the harder (and darker) side of rock was his true calling. He could be ridiculous but so are many musicians. He's fairly underrated as a lyricist. Some of his stuff is actually really great, especially when he plays with that…
You kind of have no choice but to stand up and shout when you hear songs like that!
I know. Something horrible is waiting in the wings…
I love that they are going to be the super brother team now.
Black Sabbath rules or am I stating the obvious?
He was always pretty awesome. He could take something ridiculous and somehow make it golden. His Rainbow stuff is also essential rock and metal, and most of his solo career was pretty good, particularly the excellent first two albums.
She's kind of both!
Not to mention, Abraham.
Merle had better taste.
