It still manages to have filler, because it promises new House Of Cards reviews even though the reviews are done.

The first season of Billions ended with Bobby Axelrod tearing his office building apart looking for a bug, so I guess that was inspired by The Conversation too.

My great-uncle died that way, except it was from an open-flame heater and it was probably an accident. I'm not sure about the details but it seems he may have passed out and landed on the heater. Then he was airlifted to the hospital but he didn't last long. It's pretty strange, whether it was an accident or not..

Jesus Dickie Bennett Christ!

It seems like everyone with a podcast is on TV lately. I wouldn't be too surprised if Josh and Chuck from Stuff You Should Know get murdered on The Americans next season.

I keep thinking the bartender is Hodor.

I've been listening to U2's album The Joshua Tree, since they're celebrating its 30th anniversary. The song Red Hill Mining Town makes me think about how in the 80s in the UK, the situation with coal was reversed: The right-leaning government was trying to shut down coal mines, while the people on the left protested…

No, that was Bill Murray.

Nah, for me it just gradually got less interesting.

I just finished the latest season of House Of Cards. It was certainly watchable, but not very good. The ending was refreshingly surprising, but still dumb. I hope next season is better, because I can't stop watching this even though I don't enjoy it very much.

Damn, I got distracted by other television so I'm no longer in the thick of the discussion.

Great job, Twatching!

Claire telling Tom that Frank killed Zoe and Peter (so many names!) was the first time this show shocked me in a long time. How can she trust Tom like that, especially now that she's dumped him? Is she setting him up to be murdered or something?

Oh. Cool!

"I’d bet money on seeing a lot of that scene in the car come awards season"

Mmm, vanilla fuck.

Now I'm craving pie.

Maybe the junkie mom is so high that she thinks shouting "911!" counts as a call for help, but she can't quite get it right. Maybe her mind is somehow tapped into the backwardness of the Black Lodge.

That cup of coffee was making me nervous. It looked like it was headed for a document-ruining spill, even though this probably isn't the kind of show where that would happen. Of course, then something much worse happened.

I think the thumb joke was also in Insomnia from 2002.
