I did not go far enough back in this thread to see if it has previously discussed, but "Da Vinci's Demons" was fucking awesome. Twistory of course but what Twistory. Leonardo Da Vinci, young Machiavelli and Dracula teaming up against the Ottoman empire to take back Oranto. (Note: Vlad Tepes actually was involved in taking back Oranto from the Ottomons.) Yet, in spite of its cractastic nature, including battling hidden mystical societies with actual magic power, it was an intelligent series: witty dialog convincing characters. The plot is absurd, but the execution makes it worthwhile. The worldbuilding is convincing, and (to repeat myself) characters you can believe, dialog that is usually riveting and always entertaning.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

I wish I could have enjoyed it, but the series straightwashing Leonardo in a symbolically offensive manner while having the nerve to tell the gay press we'd all be thrilled with how they dealt with the issue really put me off it. I only tuned in for the Dracula episodes after that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We just started watching "Masters of Sex." Kinda loving it, although it's a little unfocused, storywise. The acting is superb. We just saw the ep where They lose their baby and Michael Shean KILLED me with his breakdown.
We were both a little surprised to see Teddy Sears naked, I have to say. Jay Garrick getting it on is a bit discombobulating. Not that I'm complaining.

You're on season one? I loved it. Sheen and Lizzy Caplan are phenomenal.

If anyone missed it, Season two of Outlander has started and is well on its way. I just saw ep 2.1, so have some catching up yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ep 2 (tonight) should not be missed, for people who are fans of red dresses and honeypots.
