Yeah...Burrell's wet dream, much? Although not exactly...they forgot the dots. Burrell loves the dots. (Can we please call the next Bureau thread that, please? I might go in without shuddering.) Not the wet dream thing, like Bureau 4: The Major Loves The Dots.

Pardon my yo-tech.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

So after three eps, The Tudors is officially disappointing.

I think my main issue with it is that, unlike Rome, the creators seem to have no interest in creating dramatically interesting reasons for historical events to occur. Everything that's happened has happened because that's the way the history went -- these characters don't seem to have any relationships or motivations of their own, as people. Makes it very frustrating to watch.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh, Jessica, that's good reasoning. I was wondering why it wasn't pinging my radar as hard, but that's spot-on.

I'll probably watch it, just 'cause it's like eight episodes or something. But probably not for a second season if they were inclined to get one.

Every time I think about it now, all I think of is "HENRY THE ROCKSTAR!!" in an arena-rock sort of feeling.

Anyone watching the last 9 Sopranos?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yup. This episode was sorely disappointing. Weirdly slow and strange lines. It's not much of a set up. But I've gotten used to uneven quality with some eps.

Entourage was much better.

You think? I was glad to see the ducks reappear as a motif, and the Bobby stuff could go somewhere interesting.

I agree. It just seemed like the whole episode was set up. I got bored with the monopoly game because we've seen Tony do the push-the-limit-cross-the-line thing with his family before.

The ep fell flat for me.

I liked the first few eps of this season when I watched them a couple of weeks ago, but I can't really remember now how the eps were broken up well enough to have an opinion on the premiere. (They were definitely slow going. My favorite bits all involved Christopher and his movie, because Chris' hobbies crack my shit up.)

Ah, I really enjoyed the monopoly game, in large part because my usual Sunday night for a good while was going to play monopoly and watch the Sopranos with friends. I think less set up and more action would have been hard for me to handle after the long hiatus, really. I never did get around to refreshing my memory as to what everyone was up to when last we saw.
