TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Last night's "Eastbound And Down" was the funniest 30 minutes of TV I've seen since "Party Down" stopped being a thing.

Steve Little is CRUSHING it on that show.

[thrill]

When he climbed on top of the car he punched, waving his bloody fist in the air in triumph, I lost it. Stevie is the most ridiculous character in TV history. So funny/creepy.

Yes!!! I was howling. Steve has been taken to some really dark places.

Good episode last night. At least on the face of it, they've corrected a lot of the show's basic problems - got some humor back, some optimism, 4 black characters with speaking parts, less Rick and Carl, Beth is somewhat interesting now. The store sequence was really well done, even if it didn't make a lot of sense.

I'm curious about the fixation Rick seemed to have on the one walker standing outside the fence. Seemed like he had something going on with his eyes, which was just mildly strange until they got to the kid in the shower and his eyes were bleeding. I may be tying two things together that shouldn't be though.

i thought it was an enjoyable episode. i agree with everything pretty much. the store was real entertaining though i have to say, and i dont know why but while the make up effects i thought seemed the usual standard, the digital effects (mainly the kills) seemed very obvious to me. there was a lot of sunny/light shots and maybe they usually are done in the dark so it was more noticeable this time but i normally have no issues with their digital effects. i guess bad cgi is a peeve of mine.

i read yer spoiler before i watched the episode and wondered what you meant. definitely something with the eyes. and of course the kid had glasses so they could pan from those to his body during the reveal. i suppose he could have had a cut he didn't know about / tell anyone hoping nothing would happen ...or the virus is mutating. or something else. i imagine at some point in the season someone will shoot a human preemptively 'cause they can see the eyes turning red/already red.

other notes: lauren cohan is possibly hotter than before even though she looks the same. i was actually kinda moved by the crazy lady. she seemed so sad, lonely, warped, scared and pathetic. she looked terrible though i was mildly attracted to her too. the performance convinced me i guess.

Anthony Hopkin writes fan letter to B Cranston

he binge-watched it, just as I am -which adds a strange attachment.

I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bulls--t in this business, and I’ve sort of lost belief in anything really,” Hopkins continued.

“But this work of yours is spectacular – absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers. every department – casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.”

Has anyone checked out the Netflix original series "Orange is the New Black" yet?

I'm about 7 episodes in, and this is an excellent show. Only shortcoming is its portrayal of men, but the rest of TV has that covered pretty well.

Keeps getting better. Only two more left to go and I'm bummed. Really impressive how they manage the tonal balance - it feels light and it's very funny, but there's heavy stuff going on. Taylor Schilling is a good lead, but they could even cut her out of the show and it would still be great.

Also found out that Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink guy) directed three of the episodes. Wondered what happened to him.

I love this show. 3 episodes in.
