I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Yeah, they just started showing the eps from the beginning last night. One episode in, and it's a killer. My wife loved it, too, but was kidding me about liking a show that full of racism, misogyny, and general bad behavior. What can I say? Almost all of my favorite tv dramas are like that. Jerks are more entertaining than saints.

We've almost finished Breaking Bad, too, which is also extraordinary.

Well, dang. I would have set my TiVo. I missed it last time around for the same reason. If I don't catch the first couple of episodes, I won't watch because I hate not having the set-up and backstory in place. I can wait for July.

But it doesn't endorse any of it, and that (for me) was pretty key. It wasn't presented in a ham-handed preachy "OMG PEOPLE USED TO BE SO SEXIST!!!" way, but they don't sugar-coat any of it either - the men in the show, by and large, are pigs. Even the well-meaning ones.

I'm out of synch with the airings, dammit. The one I caught last Sunday was one of the few I'd seen, like, 3 times.

Wait, there are only 7 episodes? [link] Oh! I guess I haven't missed any after all. IMDB has the schedule for upcoming shows, which is nice: [link]

eta: changing first link to titles only, you have to click if you want to see descriptions. 2nd link is also titles only.

I can't believe that next week is the Riches season finale. I feel like things are still building.

A writers strike'll do that to ya.

Are they going to have a 3rd season?

Whew, BBCA is going to air season 4 of MI-5 immediately after Season 3. We may get to season 6 sometime this decade.

Riches season finale

Really? Erk. I've missed all the new shows! I hope they re-run them.

Digression: I, for one, am annoyed at this idea networks seem to have that EVERYONE is busy watching things on their computers. Um, NO, not everyone does. Signed, quasi-Luddite.

I think it's up in the air and not looking great.
