I feel like of the three shows that I consider of that aesthetic, I prefer Homicide: Life on the Streets to both The Wire and Oz.

I'm so mad that I didn't get to mention this first! It's such a great theme and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet are just great and those credits are just so perfectly Toronto in the early 90s.

It reminds me of Community in that way, too. Like, "Shit, are we learning lessons here? We are. Dammit. Well, bring it in for a hug."

OK, well I think his IMDB profile is somewhat less busy compared to many actors of his generation. It's true that doesn't show stage work, but I can't imagine it pays as well as a hit TV show and I'm sure he needed a steady gig.

I could see them going in the "Boyle has moved on and Diaz develops feelings for him that she doesn't admit to anybody, but then Gina finds out and squeals" route. Or something. I hope not, because that's pretty cliche.

Yeah, and I think it's going to be a good reveal for the end of the season. Because Tyreese is now with the kids, so perhaps she'll reveal it to him and then he'll be like "Aw, hell naw! I can't kill a kid!" And he'll meet up with Rick, who will be all "Tyreese! My man! No worries! I exiled our camp's killer!" And…

I love it when people ask why somebody stays with a bad show. Sometimes, I just like to hate-watch something stupid. This show fits that bill. And sometimes, I get surprised with an excellent episode — the Lennie James one comes to mind.

I *STILL* think the oldest moppet killed Karen and David with Carol taking the blame because she felt like she was responsible after calling the kid weak.

Speaking of hilariously unsubtle, I was GROANING when it was revealed that when the Governor and his new family had to drop everything and run, they managed to take the Lewis chessmen. And then after he died, a zombie stepped on the king piece. But what does it all MEAN, maaaaaannnn?

He gets mean when he doesn't eat!
These potatoes taste terrible! What's in these?
I didn't have any salt, so I added baking soda.
Why wouldn't you? They're both interchangeable white powders!
Right!

"That's poop for sure."

Perhaps because Jess asked her too and they haven't seen each other in forever. Seriously, this show. I like all the "Nick learns something about himself" developments that are happening, but it's coming at the expense of almost every other character.

AGREED. I wondered if that was where their little side commentary was going. In the show's reality, I think Winston is probably a little too weird for Cece, but I enjoyed their scenes and I've missed Cece a lot this season. It's been very dude heavy.

It was the other white guy. Scully's the one with the brush cut. Hitchcock is bald. Apparently, Daniels, the useless female cop they vaguely introduced in the pilot, has disappeared.

I feel like at first, I didn't like Santiago, but I love her little sycophantic turn here. "The buckle!"

"Does it really say that on there?"
"No, but I do have 'Boyle believes obvious lie.'"
