Shrift, which space is that show in? Is it the one straight ahead from the lobby doors?
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Damn, I don't think I realized that was what Cane was about. My father grew up in Hawaii's cane sugar industry. They used to run around the fields and play in the flumes and chew on the raw sugar cane. From the looks of the pr material, it isn't intended to be a nostalgic romp, but I might have tuned in if I'd paid any attention. Other than Colbert cracking himself up at the ads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's supposed to be Dallas but with cane instead of oil. I heard things like the family conflict (I suspect Smits is playing JR, but hot) is between sugar and versus production.

I watched Cane. So far, it's feeling a lot like Kingpin without the DEA.

I watched Cane. It's got great actors - I think it should be pretty decent if they can tear themselves away from the Godfather.

Using advanced techniques such as Web spidering, link analysis, content analysis, authorship analysis, sentiment analysis and multimedia analysis, Chen and his team can find, catalogue and analyze extremist activities online.
Okay, I know this was yesterday and all, but I just wanted to weigh in on this, cause if they can manage Web-based authorship analysis, I want they should TELL ME. Cause that's what my Master's project was about, and I had zero luck with it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I had no idea until hearing the premise from the show that the US had a sizable sugar cane industry.
It's a lot bigger than it deserves to be, because it's heavily subsidized by the government.

I had forgotten your topic! Sorry to hear it didn't pan out the way you wanted.
I have had the phrase "degrade gracefully" stuck in my head since yesterday, and I've now worked out both why (my eye makeup degrades gracefully--crying doesn't mess it up, or at least does it with symmetry), and where it's from (HTML). Being a geek can be hard.

Yep. At least, it was at the press opening.
