This show is ten times better than any show that has ever aired. Nothing comes close.
It does have a bit of a hurdle to get into, I swear. I'm two eps in (I probably shouldn't be going back and doing the commentary right after each ep), and I can objectively see that it's quality, and the amount of talent oozes off the screen, but I'm not addicted.
But it's definitely one of those shows that makes me feel like the shortcoming is mine and not its.
My god, I miss the job with the cafeteria that had breakfast potatoes where I could get cheese and salsa and bacon on it every morning. I am craving savoury this morning. I have tasty cookies and fruit, but it's not the same.
Someone cheerfully told me that there was going to be another ita in the department. Except spelt differently.
Hmm...not ita, then, huh? Then it is a whole different vibe, thanks, for NOT KNOWING HOW TO PRONOUNCE MY NAME.
Also, again, you people who type iTa are really weird.
Married a man (8 years! Whoa!). Monogamous. Yep, still bi.
I totally didn't know you were bisexual. I am clearly not nosy enough into my friends' lives.
he pronounces it New Orleeenz
No such place. There's an Orleeenz Parish, but no city by that name.
I heard Nawlins and Norlins fairly interchangeably. Is one considered more correct/hipper/proper?
It's been a long time since I was there. But "Nawlins" was hip, "Norlins" (or "New Oar-lunz") was perfectly acceptable and "normal", "New OR-lee-unz" was for the older and more proper crowd.
So, all the people who sing "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans," including the people who are from there, are DOIN IT RONG? That is seriously fucking hilarious.
Well, yeah.
I guess it would throw the rhythm off if they sang it "Do you know what it means to miss N'orlins".

I'm going to claim a lyrical rhyming defense here. In popular music all sorts of vowels are shifted in the name of the almighty couplet.

Do not EVEN get me started on the grammatical kerfuckery that is "Live and Let Die." Gah.

Give it a season, really. It's not a show that exists in serialized chunks; it's more like a Russian novel (if a Russian novel had gay assassins). You will not regret how slow it builds. And leave those commentaries! I haven't heard the season one ones but the season 2 ones have spoilers.

No, do get started. Because I do figure it could be fixed, and I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I'm in the other camp. Slept with a woman. Really dug it, but it made me certain I was pretty darn straight despite the pleasure it gave me. I realized I didn't hunger to do it again as often as possible, the way I do with men. If I had great sex with a guy, I wanted more more more. I spent time with this woman after we did the delicious deed and although I was perfectly open to continuing, I just did not want to. I sometimes fantasize about women, but then I fantasize about everything, so I don't find that indicative of my proclivities. Vanilla me.
