I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I admit, I still don't know WTF is going on on John from Cincinnati, but I am hooked good and proper. That there's a "they" that wants to sponsor Sean (whatever that means) and that John's father has a father but John's mother is his father (or his father is his mother, I forget which he actually said) has me all intrigued.

We lost Deadwood for this? We wuz robbed, and Milch has lost his fucking mind.

And now it's been cancelled. I wonder if the cancellation makes the Deadwood movies more or less likely to happen now.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

And now it's been cancelled.

So the season finale is now the series finale? Well, that was a whole lot bizarrotude with not much payoff. Not quite the monster unfinished business that was the Twin Peaks finale, but at least with David Lynch it felt appropriate as an ending, infuriating as it was.

Yep.

ETA: Never mind. I reread the piece and answered my own question.

move out and draw fire

Well crap. Yet another version of the "This Show Rocks, But Is Cancelled Without Any Resolution" blues.

Serial to add:

After the pilot, I was desperately worried that The Riches would go that route, and it was a huge relief when that show was picked up for a second season.

But now, with the impending strikes, I'm worried that, if they haven't started filming and put a lot of the new season into the can, we won't get any new Riches for a while. Or get part of a season, and then a nice long wait.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Huh. See, I found JfC to be fairly well-resolved in the finale, and was curious as to what the Hell they would do in a second season.

Not that I can summarize what the Hell I think happened, really. Except that, clearly, John is one of the 4400.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I caught up on Entourage, and I'm so proud of E! Finally getting stuff going for him. Vince's little confused/upset face was adorable.

Caught the first four episodes of Weeds--man, shit's going down.
