Still. Watched "The Russian House" episode this weekend. Damn. Detective turns early Cold War spy. So very good.
I am going to regret finishing this series. It deserves to go on and on. Quote:

finished True Detective last night. jesus fuck that was some creepy creep shit.
|
I've got Season 1 of that up next in my Net queue, Rob.
|
it is very good, but HARSH harsh stuff...
|
New VEEPs don't seem to have the same bite. The profanity doesn't reach the poetry it once did. So I went back and watched a bunch of THICK OF ITs, which is such a brilliantly, beautifully abusive show.

Been really enjoying these last episodes of Mad Men. I'm not going to predict how it's going to end, I'm just enjoying the ride. Watching the new season of Game of Thrones, that's been solid, I just watched the first episode of Daredevil and that was enjoyable too.

read a interview with Capaldi, he was saying everyone always comes up to him now and asks him to do a Dr Who thing, but he rather they'd ask him to do a string of curses as Malcolm Tucker |
Last days of Letterman.
It has been fun On Monday, guests are Howard Stern, and Don Rickles. That will be FUNNY |
Now that we've run through all of Foyle's War, we've decided to catch up on the last season of Mad Men. I'm underwhelmed by this season's opener but we'll see what happens.

The League of Gentlemen on youtube. Mark Gattis is great in all of his roles in that, and the comedy is not too dated, considering its 2000 vintage

It's one of the few tv programmes I quote on a regular basis. And saying it's 2000 vintage is just weird. |
Mad Men. Will catch last night's ep on Amazon tonight. (We're off the cable grid.)
|
watched first daredevil on Netflix. Pretty good
|
Has anyone watched The Man in the High Castle?
|
nope. after mad men ends next week and i emotionally process that, i can move on to other stuff.
veep was fucking excellent last night. anna chlumsky deserves an emmy for that rant she goes on. |
I have a couple of suggestions for what happens to Don. If I were writing the series, I'd craft Don's fate thus:
1, He's dumped off the bus somewhere in California. Dazed and tired from a couple of days without food, he wanders into an Army recruiting station, gets mistaken for the outgoing recruiting officer's replacement, and quickly finds himself back in uniform with a promotion, to captain, and in charge of a processing station for young men being shipped to Vietnam. 2. Or, and I think this might be the better idea... Don ends up somewhere on the West Coast, as far as you can go, where the only thing left is ocean. The ocean has been linked to death, for Don, in previous shows. He sees, or hears about, boys being flown from the town he's in (Seattle? Portland?) to Vietnam; their first stop is paradise, Michem's Hawaii, and their next, of course, is the war, Dante's Inferno. Both books were referenced in past shows. He next sees some kids protesting General Electric's part in manufacturing for the war; GE was a client at one time. Out of guilt or confusion, he tries to enlist, but he learns that he's past the age limit, too old. With no place to go, noone to turn to, he ends up in a mission, gets fed, cleaned up, given a bed. He asks how long he can stay. He gets told, "Depends. Can you help? Are you a clean-up man?" Don says he's only ever created a lot of messes. He's told, "Well, maybe here's your chance to learn how to clean them up." He gets handed a broom and told he'll get told what to do. "Told what to do?" "You say that like it's something new you haven't heard before." Something like that. Then, Don is sleeping in his mission bed and wakes up to the smell of smoke. Somebody fell asleep in another bed with a lit cigarette. The mission burns down, and the firemen tell the police there were no survivors. But we catch a glimpse of a figure walking away from the scene. It could be Don. But we don't know for sure. We watch him as he walks on down the street, becoming smaller and smaller, just a dot on the horizon, and then gone. |
I think he is gonna come back and grab Joan and make sweet ginger love and adopt her baby and let Roger bone Joan's mom, since Don would already be taking care of Roger's baby.....
|
That's nice, and I know that's what you would like to happen, Rob, but we have to be realistic here.
