Oh right, I thought that wasn't revealed until episode 8. I watched the last 4 episodes all in a row so they kinda blurred together in the sideplots.

Yep, but even in the British version everything past season one is pure poo poo so I can't say I blame Amazon for turning down whatever they were selling.

I've seen talk about the new Amazon shows that were picked up in the pilot season being The Tick and some other show with the work Dick in it, but haven't seen anything on the Van Damme show that everyone found hilarious and amazing. Did they pass on it or is it still in the works?

This is the first week that I preferred Always Sunny to Man Seeking Woman, but it's still comfortably in "watch it" status. Hopefully there's a next season for it so someone can make a thread about it.

Man Birdman was a drat masterpiece of design, and its main competition as a movie whose main qualification was that it took 12 years to make.

Yeah, I still don't know what loving movie he thinks he directed because Knightley seemed just as game as the rest of the cast. Maybe it was like pulling teeth, I don't know, but it was funny how everyone jumped right to her defense as soon as he started talking poo poo. For some reason I'll never forget that, in reference to her having an "entourage," somebody who worked with her tweeted "I think Keira's mom came to set once. She was cool."

It was renewed not just for season 5 but a final season 6 too, so they can close the story out the way they want.

FX has been a champ sticking with The Americans despite it never having the ratings or awards recognition it deserves. Season 4 was fantastic.

Begin Again is so terrible in every way. Music sucks, keira sucks, and what kind of rapper is named trouble gum. Just watch the music video for Take a Step its the only good scene.

e2: Whatever happened to Twee As gently caress? It always mystified me why such an acerbic/bad poster had a name based off the least acerbic musical genres that exists (even the passive-aggressiveness of "The Boy With the Arab Strap" comes off more cute than legitimately throwing shade)
