Really? Cause I thought the snow globe thing was a joke, a sort of positive, virtual, methane probe, if you will. As to the Wild Bunch, have to take your word(and all those other folks', including my fake husband's) because, although when you said that I rented The Wild Bunch, I also appeared to miss the point in some fairly important ways. Was I the only one here who saw Simon on Colbert? It's been a few months now, but the Emmy-taunting was a priceless moment. But you know you're a die-hard when "Generation Kill" will top your queue for Christmas week. That seems wrong, but I don't know that I'll really change it.
Bunnies frighten me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In David Simon's five-season HBO crime drama The Wire, the mayor of Baltimore was an ambitious white politician who left city hall to a crooked council president in order to become governor of Maryland. In reality, the former mayor of Baltimore, Martin O'Malley was elected governor of Maryland in 2006. The city council president took over for him. And, well...

Finished Generation Kill today...powerful stuff. It's weird when you finish a show and it makes your house feel empty...the end of The Wire was kind of like that, too.

I was a bit worried about this season of FotC after last week's episode (a bit too high concept I thought). However, the whole "cup" sequence has made me fall in love all over again.

The "West Side Story" parody on FotC was PRICELESS! Loved it!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That is fabulous.
I think my favourite has to be the final one.
