I watched the show before I knew it was based on books but few months ago I started to read the first book (haven't had the chance to read anything besides study materials ever since) and I guess I'm glad I already knew what all characters look like. anyway, recently I spotted the other four books in a bookstore and I think I'll make an exception and buy them (I rarely buy fiction books as I just read them once and then put away, so what's the point of that?)... winter's the coolest season for reading books.

plus, if one's worrying about the language... well, um, practice makes perfect, right? reading books is one of the best ways how to improve your knowledge in any language.

Ziltoid The Omniscient hates the poser known as Neil Tyson.

The only thing that I noticed about Tyson which is not tolerable for me is his patriotism.

Been on a Top Gear binge working backwards. Up (down?) to season 8. Their specials are just the best thing.

Word! I can watch specials repeatedly and it's still goddamn precious. Every time.

Anyway, started & finished season 1 and 2 of Ray Donovan. Can't wait for January.

Comparing Mini Uzi vs AK --- also non objective. Cartels use mini uzi when drive buy, Somali's AK in longer distance , mini uzi is made for special forces in arab nations where are hard to operate in small streets , AK for field infantry
M 60 vs Kalasnikov machine gun --- non has super better, both did jam , guns do jam

I assume this show should be called world's stupidest, most illogical match ups.

its fun to watch historical weapons and warriors but not modern, Makarov is peace of shit, and it was better as Brattea , only what was better in shouting was ex Speznaz solder Sonny Puzikas, as green beret solder

I've held off watching this as I feel I should watch the original one. I started it and Carl Sagan was amazing in that, only I didn't get time to go past the first episode.

Recently got into American Horror Story. Each series is its own self-contained story (though I hear there are some connections with the current season and some earlier seasons). The first season was Murder House, set in a house where anyone who dies inside is trapped there as a spirit. Currently im on the second episode of season 2, Asylum, set in an abandoned... mental asylum. It's pretty sick.

Sons of Anarchy is having a week out before the final 2 episodes ever. GODDAMNIT!!!

I'm about halfway through the 3rd season of American Horror Story and I'm liking it so far. It has even taught me a valuable life lesson - if a pissed off minotaur is approaching, don't stop to masturbate.

AHS was never afraid of being ridiculous, but that third season was really so over the top cheesy and annoying with that lalalalalala music theme it made me give up on it. They kinda redeem themselves in the 4th. Even if I seriously question 95% of the cast's acting abilities. I think I've stuck with the series because I love Jessica Lange and don't mind Sarah Paulson.

Penny Dreadful is awesome and Eva Green is rated R.

Started watching True Detective. Looks promising, love the acting and the gloomy atmosphere it emanates.

Also finished the second season of House of Cards a few days back, and while I enjoy it, I have the feeling the series of events are just over the top making it almost comical Acting is still boss and I suppose season 3 will be a fun watch anyway

True Detective is fucking sweet. The key term for that series is "Southern Gothic", you gotta keep in mind that everything decays, it all decays.

I see nothing comic about House of Cards as a whole.

Just finished Arrow 1st season. Absolutely awesome!

One of the few shows both me and my gf can watch together... violent but no gore which helps... cool story lines but I think the action sequences could be filmed a bit better... the last episode in this season (3rd) had an epic sword fight though at the end between Arrow and Ra's Al Ghul.

Yep, Southern Gothic seems accurate. Digging all the doom & gloom, love all the dialogues parts the two detectives do when looking back at the case.

Comic might not be the word... but I find a bit over the top all the coincidences and perfect timing to favor Frank. I found the last couple of episodes a bit too cheesy in that aspect. They do say the higher you rise the higher you fall, but let's see

I read it was kind of boring but I like politic/religious stuff so I decided to I would give it a shot anyways... however... then I read it got cancelled and ultimately opted not to invest time on something that could leave me hanging too cruelly.

Mary N. if you actually finish the series and if it isn't too much to ask, could you let me know if the series as a whole was worth it or if the last episode kind of wraps things well enough, I mean, like for example, like not ending with an awful cliffhanger?

I have this show for watching, decided to give it a shot after so much praise and having the guy who I know from Parks and Recreation and American Hustle. I am thinking on starting to watch the show after I finish Party Down.

So this must be the reason why Russians who grew up in the Soviet era are so insanely robotic and incapable of fear and trauma. They were watching mind altering stuff like this:
