It's played incessantly on some No Cal radio stations.

But that's a little bit of the point, isn't it? This whole debate is being conducted completely separately from the actual lives of the people who will "benefit" from the results, and they are as oblivious to it as the people in the council chambers are to them. I'm trusting Simon to draw things closer together as…

Yay! And you'll find Ray McKinnon there, in one of the more beautiful roles. Deadwood, for all its vulgarity and violence, is rich with humanity and the value of community. And, like Rectify, the characters are lived in and the emotional beats earned. I hope you enjoy it!

Well said.

This show vibrates on a particular frequency that I think resonates with some people, and not with others. For those of us who feel it, it's this deep, gorgeous journey. For those who don't…maybe it's too slow or ponderous or ambiguous, I don't know. But man, I'm glad to be among those who "get it." It's a lot like…

That's one thing I'd kill to have: a collection of outtakes from Guest's movies, just showing a little bit of process and people cracking up at each other.

That was such a fun scene—the way his voice started to warble as he got going was sublime.

ohhh, shit. I didn't consider that. Please be wrong.

Eh, he's not some pitiable creature, but taken from his perspective, Daniel's return threatened: his job (Daniel's birthright), his relationship with a loving mother (who furthered his fears by asking him to call her Janet), and his marriage (which he inflated hugely, but which had an element of truth). Teddy's no…

I feel deep sympathy for Teddy (as one has to for almost every main character in this gorgeous show), but not in regards to that incident. I just rewatched season 1, and in the ensuing humanization of Teddy, I'd forgotten how flat-out cruel and deliberate he was in his tormenting of Daniel (called back unknowingly by…

People just liked it better that way.

Guess it doesn't count as much for lesbians, as it's super common among us, but my two best friends are exes. It's…well, it's lovely, actually. Like family.

It does seem like they've re-written him a bit. Though I would say that, if you've ever seen a lab try to calculate and engineer the best way to get a baked ham off a kitchen counter, you know that scheming and manipulation isn't necessarily beyond their capacity…

I've replayed those words in my head for days now, struggling to maintain forward progress…so perfect for anyone striving to overcome their own personal hills.

Just because not all rocks contain gemstones, doesn't mean you should reflexively throw out all rocks.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Jumping in to say that last night Paul F Tompkins said on Instagram that, if anyone could get him the fabric for the sparkly pink suit Peanutbutter was wearing on "Let's Find Out," he'd have a suit made and wear it. And lo, a couple of hours later, he's got fabric ordered and the promise of a showing in the future.

God, it's been a lovely year.

Pretty sure Chris thinks about leaving Fran at least once a day.

And the BBC adaptations of Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet are a ton of fun.
