Watched "True Detective", and that tracking shot might be the most technically impressive thing I've ever seen on TV. I timed it on my DVR at 5:54. Not sure if my favorite part was when the camera zipped over a fence or that shot where Rust and the biker dude are running behind a house, and the camera goes on the other side of the house, and pokes inside the door just for fun to get a look at the armed-to-the-teeth residents before ducking back out to catch Rust and the biker coming out from behind the house.

Neat. That episode also did not have any of Rust's freshman-dormroom nattering about the futility of existence, which is good. Great episode.

Interview with Nic Pizzolatto. He's asked about this very criticism. Pretty good read. Makes me really hyped for episode five - his favorite.

I’ve just read a couple pieces where the critic tries to dismiss Cohle’s monologues as “the sort of half-baked loopiness you’d get in freshman year philosophy,” and that’s not true at all. If you pay attention to Cohle’s philosophies they’re actually much deeper and more nuanced and grounded in legitimate scientific and philosophical thought than some [expletive] getting stoned and talking about the meaning of life.

So in episode five—not to spoil anything—Cohle gives one of his metaphysical addresses. And you can see it as Job crying out to an uncaring God—or you could see it as a character trapped in a TV show yelling at the audience. I think that much, at least, is safe to print.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to vote for "half-baked loopiness". Otherwise, I'm totally on board with this show. I kind of wish I hadn't deleted Sunday's episode so I could watch that tracking shot a third time.

Sherlock is so good. The writers are amazing. Just watched Season 3 Episode 1 last night and the part where Watson/Sherlock were apart but finishing each others sentences with their respective patients was hilarious. Best one:

Mrs Hudson to Sherlock: Well what did Watson say to you, Sherlock?
Sherlock: F - cut to Watson

Watson to patient: Cough.

Fcough. Hilarious.
