Loved it. Curious what they're going to do with Gillian Anserson'a character. They're dropping a lot of hints.

In other news, the lead from the Vikings is like Charlie Hunnam on SOA. More charisma than actual acting talent. He smirks constantly so you get the impression he constantly knows something nobody else does. Even if he's just doing some mundane task. And why are they constantly enhancing the blue in his eyes? Interesting enough show though. I'm a sucker for that subject matter.

Meyers is no worse or any stiffer than Conan and Jimmy were when they first started on the Late Night show. Some of the bits so far have been fantastic. They could bring Tim Robinson back once a week for that Next Weeks' News, or anything involving him as the emergency sidekick and I'd probably find that hilarious. He's got a good group of writers including John Lutz from 30 Rock, Pete Grosz from Veep who wrote for Colbert for years, and a bunch of other sharp guys and gals. I think it will work.

I'm a Conan fan but he was a legitimately mediocre host when he started. Fallon was the opposite. Didn't like him at the time and thought he was pretty good right out of the gate.

The Jordan Schlansky bit at the Italian restaurant on Conan is one of the funniest things that's ever happened on TV.

This was posted last week, and some of these True Detective theories are way the hell out there, but they nailed 2 or 3 of them:
