"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The entire show has a sense of humor. It's kind of wonderful in an understated way.

That's why it feels SO Elmore Leonard to me. He always brings the humor in his books, even if it's so dry that it would be a martini that made James Bond's head suck itself into his neck.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"Arlo, use your words." Yep, Raylan definitely gets to be funny.

“Not dead yet!”

Anyone watch the premiere of The Killing last night?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes!

I also am part-way through the original Danish so it was interesting how much stuff they carried over from the original.

Art Crawl!!!

No, I was sunk in a vortex of Moning's Fever books and all I watched was the GoT sneak peek.

Oh, that'll be interesting to hear about, le nub.

I'll admit, I spent the first hour wanting to smack the characters stupid, but the second hour really picked up, so I'm giving it a chance. Despite the fact that no one apparently consulted a map of Seattle or checked the weather patterns. (Thunder, not so common 'round these parts.)

I seem to have missed something. What is The Killing?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Keith Gordon, friend to some Buffistas, is directing some episodes, and reports it is REALLY good.

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

Last night's Breakout Kings amused me.

The move where the bald "marshal" uses the shotgun butt to knock out the woman who's got the gun in her mouth? Sweet as hell. Except, you know, either knock the gun out of her mouth and/or injure her. She was pristine. Missing teeth, shattered cheekbone, damaged jawbone. Gimme something.

Also, the tinkling "Don't push me, 'cause I'm close to the edge" behind the prison showdown was too funny.
