I dunno...I'm pumped about True Detective Season 2. I am looking forward to watching Vice Vaughn play the bad guy.

It's gonna be hard to top the 1st season, but i'm actually glad they aren't going the "supernatural" route with this season.

Really looking forward to this.

With shows like this, that are basically entirely new shows every season, it's gonna be tough to live up to (and be judged againsT) Season 1. Plus, no Daddario.

Mad Men

Part of me wonders if
[SHOW]
we won't see Draper at all tonight, that his storyline ended smiling on a roadside bench last week, and this week we will wrap up the Peggy and Sterling storylines, with all the action at McCann Erickson and not a single mention of Draper.
Re True Detective, is it a good idea to have separate threads for highly-discussed shows like this in the future, like with Game of Thrones, so that if someone wants to geek out on that show there's a thread that doesn't require going through a few pages of other?

I thought Wayward Pines was intriguing. The first episode is free on netflix right now.

So Mad Men was an 8-year-long explanation of the effectiveness of one Coca-Cola commercial.

That was just about a perfect ending . The Peggy/Stan thing felt a little too pat though.

At the end of that fine episode of television, I guess I have to be the one pedantic enough to say that the sun doesn't rise over the ocean in California, it sets, unless the earth was spinning in the other direction in 1970.
