Talk about burying the lede. Steve McQueen rose from the grave to direct an award winning movie, and we're talking about race?

I think we should all watch or read The Help again.

I call mine The Cyclops. And, damnit, you are right. It is coming from inside my pants.

Uh, hello. Guys in suits on swings. That is comedy in 2014. Stella was doing it years ago.

If you followed your dad's advice, you must be awfully dehydrated.

I'm going to keep watching Helix, but True Detective was much, much better.

I don't question for a second vandalism of the nature described to the black church not getting investigated in 1995 in the south.

Changing things up is sometimes the right move when turning a book into a movie. I've always said Palahniuk's ending to Fight Club was perfect for the book, Fincher and Uhl's ending was perfect for the movie. The change certainly didn't take anything away from the story. I haven't read Gone Girl. Maybe changing…

I think it is just something that bugs el zorro. I understand he thinks there are too many states nowadays too.

Bryan Cranston said, after one of the Breaking Bads he directed, I am the one who directs. So let's use that.

We could make el zorro happy by choosing a different term. I vote for Headshowguy.

Lexicon is one of the most overused terms in . . . your . . . showrunner?

Don't sell Woody short. He's a tremendous slouch.

There is obviously something wrong with him. He's cheating on Michelle Monaghan for crying out loud.

Bucks. Hart. Is there a coded message in your comment about the killer?

Oh, yeah, . . the brooding philosopher was a big part of it. It just seemed to me like too many arrows pointing his way for it to turn out with Rust as the killer. But I don't know yet what kind of show this is going to be. I'll be curious to see what they do to put us on or off his scent in coming weeks.

I thought it was terrific. Can't wait for the next episode. I'd give the pilot an "A."

No. Because of your comments about Lowell being brilliant, charming, hilarious, and instantly endearing. At the end of the day, he's Piz. So he can't be those other things. And I will beat down anyone who claims otherwise.

Clearly he is being investigated. Personally, I think the hints that he might be the killer came way too early in the show to be the payoff. Unless they are just planting the seed now. We'll see how it goes as it unfolds.

You are probably right. If Stuart's joke was supposed to be anything other than completely lame, they would have gone nuts with the recorded laughter. Maybe with a whoo, whoo thrown in.
