MAN, watch it asap. I'm all a-twitter yet. I might have to watch it again before I go to sleep tonight.
'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Okay, I saw it: "How my hair look Mike?"
I started crying when Namond the Debator showed up and didn't stop until the end. And Hec just got me going again.
Was it resonant for anybody else that Snoop's line quoted at the beginning of the episode was a direct quote from the movie Unforgiven? "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
I've never seen Unforgiven.
Oh! I have a question! Clearly, Augie? the evidence room guy has shown up before given the way Daniels interacted with him. But I don't remember him at all.
Does anyone?
The evidence control guy: That's Pat what's-his-face, one of the drunks from Season 1, the one who couldn't throw himself down the stairs.
Resonance to a certain cowboy actor's speech: Hell yeah, although you'll notice they reversed the shooting. Eastwood says the line about deserve to Hackman before killing him. Snoop says it to Mike to confirm his assumptions. Someone over at The House Next Door noted that Snoop thought she was in a cowboy movie, but Michael knew he was in the Godfather.
Evidence control guy: I have no memory of that at all. Guess I need to rewatch from the beginning.
I am torn by seeing Dukie (that spelling still doesn't seem right to me, but I'll go with it) in the previews for next week. On the one hand, I can hope he ends up with something better than disappearing into the Arabbers (seeing his reaction to seeing the guy tying off in his new home was heart-breaking) but I am really fearing that something worse is in store. But Namond! Bunny! Bubbles!
-t, on your last three exclamations: SHHHHSSSHH David Simon we'll hear you!!!
OH! Another favorite part of last night's ep: Marlo starting to lose his shit in lockup when he FINALLY hears that Omar had been calling him out. I think that's the first time we've seen him lose his composure.
I did not recognize the quote, and I'm really surprised that DH didn't either as he is a huge Unforgiven fan. I can't agree that Snoop thought she was in a cowboy movie. She was all soldier.
