I once laughed my ass off when I read a critical review of Case Histories calling it “even more depressing than Wallander.” Because I love Wallander and Case Histories.

Oh my god, Happy Valley is fucking awesome.

I can’t stand Holly Hunter but I still managed S1. She didn’t ruin it. :)

I’m totally watching Southcliffe now.

Didn’t Qatar basically buy the World Cup? Wasn’t that why the guy with the goofy name was ousted as FIFA’s head?

That photo disturbs me in how much it reminds me of one of those old-timey style pictures you and your boyfriend take at a booth at the state fair.

Not when they’re singing, no. For literally decades, I had no idea Life in Northern Town was recorded by an English group. For some particular reason (probably because I grew up in a U.S. northern town) the lyrics sounded very American to me and nothing about their voices made me think otherwise.

This is apropos to nothing, but I rarely hear accents at all when people are singing. When someone is singing in English, they could be from New Zealand for all I can tell.

Also not denying appropriation. But I thought dropping g’s was typical of all US accents. I’m probably going to start paying a lot more attention now.

One of the reasons I’m glad I don’t want kids is so that I don’t have to make decisions like this.

I obviously have no idea how Britton feels about staying on. But imagine that “production for the show brought jobs to the area that amounted to $21.2 million in payroll” rests partly on your shoulders, regardless of whether you like your job or not. Yikes.

Yeah, that’ll do it. Ick.

Anyone OK with his picture on the cover of Ryan Adams has to be a douche. There’s no other explanation.

Unfortunately, it makes me think less of her rather than the other way around.

The biggest clue disproving Annette Funicello hawking Yasmin in the 1960s? Yasmin didn’t hit the market until circa 2001.

“Dear Fat People” girl is rocking that double chin.

Maybe the constipation is why she’s so irritable.

How awful is it that I wanted that producer to try something on Maddie? Not assault her, mind you, but I wanted something a little bad to happen to her. Because she was being a fucking asshole.

I’m OK with this if no Rayna means no Maddie.

He’s a BFD in North Dakota because he was born in Minot. See also Josh Duhamel.
