Do we talk about Netflix originals in here? I finally jumped on the OitNB bandwagon. Only a couple of episodes in, but the show and the cast are fantastic. I especially like Kate Mulgrew.

And Laverne Cox's emmy nomination was well earned.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sorry, -t, I don't subscribe to this thread, so I'm just now getting back. And I haven't seen the finale of Penny Dreadful yet. I was just surprised that Ethan was the one who apparently managed to exorcise Vanessa.

OK, good, because I thought that was altogether weird. That Ethan was the one to do it, and that the exorcism was apparently a pretty simple matter, really. I cannot make sense of it, though I can't say I've tried all that hard.

Just adore OitnB. Sean, if you think the first season is good....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm watching OitNB, too, and loving it. (Not so much loving how Netflix keeps losing sound or just not working entirely, but that's not the show's fault.)

I am going to HATE this season of True Blood when I get to it, aren't I? We're in the middle of rewatching them, and just (re)started S4 last night. I haven't seen anything from S5.

Yes, you are. Liberal amounts of alcohol and snarky friends (namely Victor and thessaly) are the only way I'm getting through it.

God, I wish I had that option. And, yet, still can't stop watching it. One of those "If I've come this far..." things.

Yeah, that's our reason too, Frank. At least we're getting some good Pam scenes.

I kind of love Eric's 80s hair.
