I cannot believe that there are intelligent people in the world who think that we are near to knowing everything about anything. I was reading about quantum computers yesterday and my head almost exploded. The universe is a huge place and we're only 100,000 years in to learning about it. For example, plate

You're boring. Physicists are not boring. You are not a physicist.

That's funny—I would be far more likely to pay $5/mo for Food Network than almost anything else. You're right about WWE and maybe a Bollywood service as good niche streaming ideas, but the housewife market could totally work, too!

All the more reason to increase prices. If people are already sharing subscriptions, an incremental price jump (say, 15%), won't hurt people as much if they're sharing the cost.

That is way too high.

I heard this morning that the American distributor for a long of British content, Acorn, is exclusively streaming the last season of Foyle's War in the US. There's no other legal way to see it in the US, and they're charging $5/month for the privilege. I just can't imagine how many people would pay that just to see

1) It would be great if they'd air 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, but I don't see why they would. It's not like Americans would recognize the "celebrities," and you're right that the concept is hella confusing to non-Brits.

That is good news! Do you think they'll ever air Countdown?

If you've not watched Black Books yet, you're doing British comedy wrong.

Why 1749? Am I missing a reference?

Nothing about the trailers I've seen for it make it look like a Fifth Element (mainly, the acting does not look at all on that level), but you've reminded me that there's a lot of reasons why I should give Jupiter Ascending a shot.

Yes, I also got the feeling that the CDC didn't find her to be a "failed" doctor, as we were led to believe in the pilot. It seemed like the CDC just thought she needed a break to get psychologically healthy. I thought she was fired or something, but it looks like the CDC still considers her to be a good doctor (and

I was sort of confused about why he protected her and didn't kill her in that scene. I suppose they had history and he felt like she should live, but it was so obvious that this was going to lead to danger for him. I hope the show tells us in the future why he protected her.

Hmmm, so does 2015 Pallid Man realize that Cole is a time traveler, then? Pallid Man must know that Cole SHOULD remember giving him a scar only a year beforehand.

Awww, now who will Other Barry have to talk to?

I dunno, it's a comedy, and it wasn't really a domestic violence-y situation. If Archer knocked out Lana, that'd be different. I think it'd be a double standard to have this show feature a lot of violence on men and not a lot on women, given the context of the show.

I saw him last week and I thought he'd really improved his act. He's pretty good with audience interaction and his jokes have funnier twists (particularly his "creepy guy" jokes). He relates the jokes together in a more organic way, as well—not just his transitions, but also the entire set was interrelated and had

Yes, that seemed like a tip-off that it was a different Krieger. Plus, each Krieger is making a different sound laser! One for ejaculation, one for pooping!

I thought Archer's reaction was the best part. Laughing uproariously at Barry is such an Archer thing. Plus, it indicated that he was totally over Katya, which is good for his psyche. He's finally over SOMETHING!

Triohead makes a good point! Grab some Cava, stat.
