"SOUP IS GOOD FOOD." I can just imagine an aging Don Draper going on for so long about the importance of a mother's love and how his ad would reflect that, that everyone in the process just forgot to come up with an actual tagline.

I'm much more enthusiastic about the show, but I definitely feel that way about other shows. There's a real line between "wow, this show is great" and "wow, this show is great, and I really care about the characters and plot, and oh man I can't wait for the next season." Some shows will emotionally "click" and some…

The second season has already aired, but it's legally inaccessible if you don't have HBO.

I worked 32 out of the 48 hours between 11 PM Friday night and 11 PM Sunday night. In that time, I watched lot of stuff on my laptop.

Well, the page title and URL say "greatest series," but the article headline and actual article make it clear they're only talking about dramas. So that's definately a reading comprehension fail on my part. I agree about a longer list being more interesting.

So, all 4 of the best TV shows in history are about self-destructive anti-heroes in dysfunctional, unsustainable, corrupting systems? I realize this is "best" and not "favorite" but that still seems extremely one-note. Maybe put a comedy on there? The Simpsons, MASH, Seinfeld perhaps?

Congrats on the new job. And also on being able to check the site from it. It sucks to miss out on an active thread for like 10 hours and have a conversation wither.

Last year, the 1995 Honda Odyssey that my parents handed down to me in high school finally broke down. The car had been in my family for most of my life. I learned to drive on it, and drove it coast to coast several times.

Yeah, at this point there's no possibility of catching up in time for any of the finale-related coverage, so I'll probably watch the rest of the series at a fairly slow pace, maybe a couple episodes a week.

I'm not a Fringe viewer, but Annie Walker vs. Liz Jennings is a no-brainer. Political loyalties aside, Annie is a sweetheart who empathizes with her assets and won't screw over good people, while Elizabeth is a hardass with no such qualms. The Americans is a far superior show, but that doesn't benefit the characters…

I watched Breaking Bad! Specifically, I saw the season 1 finale again, and will begin season 2 in the near future.

Spartacus. It starts off as a charmless, ridiculous, cheap version of 300. But after like 5 episodes, the plot starts kicking in and the true depths of the characters are revealed, and there's 3 seasons of pure excellence. (Although I have yet to see the final season.)

As I remember it, that was the exact analogy when that Italian car fitted the hero for retro whitewall tires in the first movie.

By that time I had already been at work for an hour. Fortunately my incredible endurance and the ease of my job carried me through the day.

Yeah, that actually is a good point. It's too bad they can't just shoot over a longer period of time, but I suppose that eats into the budget.

I finished Season 1 of Orphan Black. It was good. I watched more of The Bridge. It is good so far. I also worked, ate food, and slept. Then I posted here. In the future, I plan to continue all of these activities indefinitely.

The intense rebuilding and counterinsurgency could've had a good effect if it was tried like, 5 years earlier.

I just finished two weeks of annual training at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. It started off at 90 degree heat and humidity, but it got quite cold by the end. Our battalion was in tents for the duration.

Um, this is only talking about the Emmy for best title sequence, not any kind of acting Emmy.

Am I the only one who finds her more attractive as a semi-autistic detective than she was as Helen of Troy a decade ago?
