I was hoping you'd do that! Since my tech-fu is still weaker than a motherfucker and all. But I'm not posting from a damn stairmaster at least.
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.
Hey, I finally get that! Saw the Ray Cole wake last week sometime. Today, Hamsterdam got underway - so weird. The cop escorting Bubbles's friend down to cop "I hear that WMD is the bomb", so surreal.
And Avon is out. This is about to get very interesting, I think.
You can say that again.
It's still my favorite... One of the few things my mother doesn't even try to understand about me. Wanting Ray Cole's funeral, that is. Although the whole Baltimore thing confuses her, I think.
I can't really be in here, since I'm just watching first season Wire, but I just have to say: Oh no! Wallace! I'm sad for that kid. I had semi-spoiled myself looking at imdb, but I had hopes he would stay at his grandmother's and be OK.
Dude, yeah, Wallace broke me.
Guys! We get eyeliner-adorned Antony tonight? How much does that ROCK?
Oh, PS, who's going to be watching The Tudors? Other than, obviously, me? Because Jonathan Rhys Meyers = must see tv for me.
Wallace broke Simon y'all. Which I thought, "Whoa...that's deep." because he usually likes to act beyond that sort of thing, even more than George P., who wrote it.(I think George is like me...a big marshmallow who tries to front like he's cool. And he is...his music collection is the shit, and were it not for the name, I'd think he was black.) But, Simon, tough Newsguy still talks about Wallace's death as the toughest thing he ever produced. Ever. Which, in its own way, is a bit like Buffy saying "Mommy?" in The Body. Extra gut-punching.(And I would still write a Dickens ending for Wallace and D'Angelo. I pretend to be comfortable with their harsh realities, but I would still like them to have a secret uncle that is Prime Minister of Liberia. I know y'all feel me on this.
Although my absolute favorite commentary moment is when Domenic West takes a second to thank Wendell Pierce for rescuing him before season two when he tells the predominantly black crowd that the next season will be a "real cracker" and Michael K. Williams(Omar) laughs his ass off.

OK, good. Because I think I'm going to be sad about this for a couple of days, and you know that feels ridiculous.
