is any thread the right thread for The Newsroom?
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Since it's HBO, this would be the place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I loved Sports Night... This is News Night. Literally.

and that's OK right? I laugh when I'm supposed to laugh. I cry when I'm supposed to cry. It's a familiar fuzzy blanket of a show.

I feel the same way, Laga.

This is genius.

Well, that was one of the better True Blood's I've seen in a while. Terry's funeral was touching and the crosscutting to the rescue of the vamps was nicely done.
This season seems really diffuse even compared to usual (and more half-assed) but I liked this episode. Granted, I did miss a bunch of mid-season shows due to the involuntary relocation (I don't know where Rutger Hauer went, for instance) so it may have been a better or worse episode than I saw it as.

I found the flashbacks kinda boring, but the service itself quite sweet. Given that I don't particularly like anyone on the show, and had Terry mixed up with the shifter until way recently--I wasn't expecting that.
(I take that back--I love Lafayette, and wish he had a plotline. How amazing was his outfit for the funeral! Sheeit.)
