The Epitaph episodes really were pure sex.

Calm down man friend!
Actually yea I'd take them all over Topher. Or maybe just Mal and then a tie between Topher/Wash/Jayne. Yea that.

After thinking about it, I'd DEFINITELY take Mal and Wash over Topher, but I think Topher and Jayne are tied. That looks better.
1. Mal
2. Wash
3a. Jayne
3b. Topher

Good episode of Tue Blood. Big fan of angry Sam but ******* hell the writers really need to find a way to write off Bill and Tara because it is painful to watch them on screen.
Gotta love Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston won at the Emmy's. Glad the incredible work they both did this season got recognized.

Yeah, True Blood was good this week, but god I just want Tara to die so badly. Arlene too, shes so ******* whiny its unbelievable. But as per usual, Russel and Eric save the show.
As far as Breaking Bad goes, I still think Aaron Paul outacts Brian Cranston on that show.

You're crazy man. Jessie Pinkman is a brilliant character and Aaron Paul does an incredible job but Walter White is easily one of my all time favorite characters in any kind of medium. Cranston puts on a ******* clinic each episode. Rewatching the show really gave me an appreciation for how ******* nuanced his performance is. Breaking Bad really is an amazing show and I think it should have won best drama despite how great Mad Men is as well.
Speaking of Mad Men holy **** Don Draper really is a mess. Really great episode. It really is refreshing to see a network actually try to make great television and understand that great TV tends to lead to great ratings.

I'll say The Wire just by the fact that it is already over so you can see the end and not be angry to have to wait X amount of time for the next episode.

I think Sam's storyline is ******* terrible and he's a much worse character than Bill most of the time.

I have never cared for Sam before but I have to say that after last night I like him a little more. I mean his actions didn't make much sense at all even for a really ******* drunk person but I enjoyed watching him freak the **** out on everyone. I really only hated his character about half the time he was on screen yesterday.

There's something better than a DVR, it's called the internet.

Solution. Hook computer up to large screen (I have a 32 inch LCD LG). Know your streaming sites. Find stream of pretty much any recent episode of anything in HD. Cable is a thing of the past.

Stream quality is for the most part always crap. And even if you can find high quality streams it is typically too much for most people internet connections to handle.
I love watching shows on my computer that conflict with my DVR being able to record multiple shows, but I much rather watch them on my nice TV on my couch as opposed to sit in my computer chair and watch them on a screen half the size.

If you think Mad Men or Breaking Bad are hipster shows, you don't know what you're talking about. Then again, Two and a Half Men is for the below average intelligence people with advanced age, so...

Big kudos to Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul for winning well deserved Emmys. They were head & shoulders above their competitors.
Also to The Great Al Pacino for his portraying Dr. Kervorkian, & to the Daily Show with John Stewart, now he can rub his Emmy in Colbert's face. And to John Lithgow as Guest Actor on Dexter.
Looks like 30 Rock got snubbed at every category, had to happen.
Tip of the hat also to Joss Whedon's younger brother Zack who wrote/directed half the 1st season of Rubicon including last night's Look to the Ant. Also did 3 episodes of Fringe among others.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923738/
It's expected of the Whedons, they're 3rd-generation screenwriters.
