At least their periods would be in perfect sync ;P

My guess? Cam spills beans on Donna's abortion, which causes Gordon/Donna to split. Cam goes to work for Gordon, as a respected coder (vs being hated by Gordon). Donna is working at Mutiny, as the person giving orders vs taking them (opposite her start at Texas Instruments). Gordon is running the show, working on his…

I got the impression that after going to Texas, getting married and feeling lost over her strained family ties, Cameron actually wanted to just cash out and do something else, with Tom. I don't think she wanted to be partners with Donna anymore, and an IPO would force that relationship and stress for years longer.

make sure that the show is no longer about Donna and Cameron. That's a shame, to me at least.

Good. HACF was about Lee Pace and Scoot McNairy from day 1. It wasn't supposed to be the Donna and Cameron Hour of Feminism Power. The radical shift in S2 likely came from upper mgmt at AMC who said, "Do this, or there's…

It's like the joke about Pizza Hut:
No one ever wants to go to Pizza Hut…they just end up there.

Oh man, that's a wonderfully sharp cut. You should be a critic. Ebert used to say stuff like "Transformers 2 looks like junkyard vomit."

It really wasn't. It was sooooo formulaic too. Oh, Tim just got advice from his neighbor for the 100th time? OH, DID HE JUST SCREW IT UP FOR THE 100TH TIME? SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HILARIOUS.

At least TGIF's Step by Step had some cute girls my young self had crushes on. Family Matters' early years were pretty good. Fresh Prince's early stuff was too. And Perfect Strangers was just hilarious with very funny/physical-comedy-focused leads. Even Dinosaurs had its own bizarre style. BUT HOME IMPROVEMENT AND…

There's only SO much feminist focus I can take leading up to an election with an apparent feminist focus. Then there was feminist Ghostbusters being pushed at the same time. And feminist Hunger Games and Divergent. Then in Star Wars…and Rogue One. And on and on. Hollywood has been obsessed with pushing…

Actually, I think Joe would be fine with that, as long as his vision lives on. Joe was grooming Ryan to be his successor. The guy with the brains of Gordon…but willing to be molded into a visionary by Joe. If Ryan demonstrates he's just as cutthroat as Joe was, I think Joe would feel successful, because he knows…

I think he knows it won't work, and there's no point in trying again. He feels it's too late for him. Plus, she doesn't like Texas, and seems to have an anti-guy thing at the moment, so she uses people. He picks up on that. I'm guessing he's on the verge of returning to Texas, to retire.

Song rights aren't cheap, and my guess is AMC cares more about long-term rights than what would sound cool now. In fact, song rights are the #1 reason why most TV shows either took forever to get on DVD (Northern Exposure) or never showed up at all…or showed up radically altered (Married with Children).

That was weird. Joe is basically relegated to cameo status this season. He's what…had a total of 5 minutes of total interaction with any of the other 3 stars? Lee Pace either asked to be killed off or is grateful it's happening. HACF's downward writing spiral since season 2 has me really bummed. I once said it was the…

Pretty sure this is gonna end. All the characters are buckshot, scattering in different directions. Joe is likely sick. Gordon is obviously sick. Only way they could pull this back together if if Joe's revelation gives Mutiny a huge cash influx/backbone it needs…..and because of Joe's admittance of Gordon's role, they…

Has Matthew Lillard ever been a likable character in ANYTHING? No. The answer is no.

His book about the Rise and Fall of IBM is good too. It's like $4 for the PDF.

I've always said that shows and movies that have narrators are almost always poorly written, directed and edited…and filmmakers try to cover up these major flaws by having a narrator TELL you what's going on vs. show you. For example, as much as I like the early Arrested Development eps, there's no denying that…

Mr. Robot lost me at about episode 6 or 7 in season 1. I just….I just can't take it. I do Linux support for a living. I deal with servers all day. I've been doing IT for years. Yeah, some people are like those in Mr. Robot, but the world is NOT run by hackers or tech geniuses. Even a company like Microsoft or Google —…

Joe is a self-destructive person always trying to find the next big think/make his mark…even before the results, he told Ryan he didn't know if he had anything left. The relief from finding out the end was coming, probably finally let Joe relax and be at peace with things….and let him focus 100% on his project,…

I don't think that's it. I think he DOESN'T view Ryan as that at all. He views Ryan as his successor - the BRAINS and hopefully the drive that Joe has, which Joe has been trying to teach him. Did you see how Ryan was no longer meek in the meetings? He's turning into Joe 2.0, but with Gordon's level of smarts. Joe…
