God forbid people have to fly into Newark or La Guardia.

The show tips its hand too much to not draw those conclusions. Gus in particular gets a backstory that is vastly outsized to any current role he plays (we know more about Gus's mom than we know about Eph's wife). For a minority guy, that usually means he's marked for death. But since he lived through the first…

Final season of True Blood?

I wouldn't cut through mountains during the apocalypse.

I lived in NC for a few years. I can't imagine any basketball rivalry approaching the cultural spectacle of a Duke-UNC game. And I lived like an hour and a half east of Raleigh

I agree, but I liked the show. However the show did lose some of its excuses when it got towards the end. I was fine with the portrayal of the female characters at first because the show was told entirely through the viewpoint of Rust and Marty. But then the show moved to present day and even gave Maggie her own…

I haven't watched this show since the first governor episode of this season. But I liked this episode. I was able to get lost in it in a way I haven't with this show in a while. It feels free from the baggage that made me turn on the show. But it's a one-off episode. So when the show finally gets back to whatever…

2 things:

You can always assume a 27 percent crazification factor for any given population.

I pretty much started hate-watching this show right off the bat just for the absurd lily-white Richmond, VA they created. Having the white girl kidnapper be from Petersburg was one of the more unintentionally funny things I had seen (Petersburg is like 80 percent black). But then the first FBI agent that dies is the…

I completely disagree with this comparison. The difference is that season one of Boardwalk Empire wasn't that great, and overall, it's not that great a show. And that's how it has been for all of it's seasons. Meandering then finishes strong. Boardwalk Empire was never a good enough show in the first place to get…

Beyond is actually way more nuanced and subtle than it seems as far as the storyline branches go. Telltale's The Walking Dead doesn't really have any actual branches. Not that I have a problem with that. It's just that Telltale seems to have embraced the idea of videogame narratives granting false choices and turned…

I haven't been able to bring myself around to catching up on the show. As soon as the governor reappeared, I sort of gave up on The Walking Dead. Last night I forced myself to watch that first governor episode and while it actually wasn't bad, it felt like it was doing the legwork that last season should have done.…

I completely agree with this. Although as a thought experiment, it think it would be interesting to see a white M.I.A.

More then likely I'm just going to listen to every track she got from Hit-boy. Kala was pretty much the high water mark of her career for me. She's still a good producer with a good ear but I get tired of hearing snippets of a crazy (in a good way) beat or crazy hook as a tiny part of an unlistenable song. Guess I'll…

If this was The Wire, it would have ended with some of the drug dealers getting caught (but not the top guys) all the undercover people getting killed, and the US attorney still having a press conference with all the seized money in front of her and that boosting her to win the election.
