Doctor Who also just started. The first episode was very good, but the show can be hot and cold. Wallander was on last night, 2 more episodes.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Walt is going to die on this last episode.  That is one thing I believe after watching more interviews with Vince... He has stated why he picked Bryan Cranston - going back to X-files 'Drive' episode.

The thing about Walt taking a bit from each person he killed is true and prevalent. Walt also gets a Volvo, like Gus drove. and to connect the Mike thing- Walt starts to drink his whiske

I thought about that but when he ordered his drink in "Granite State", he ordered it neat. And I feel like it's more of Walt becoming that person. He may not have seen Gus do it, but he became

Homeland is great. You won't be disappointed.

I'm 7 episodes in now (they left the cabin, Aileen, well, I'll just say she made an identification so I don't spoil anything). Great show. It started out a bit corny (and it bugs me that the pilot's "I'm just making sure we don't get hit again, I missed something once before, I can't, I won't let that happen again," "It was ten years ago, everyone missed something that day," "Everyone's not me," line is in the opening sequence, because that's really corny), but it's gotten pretty awesome just over halfway through the season.

Yea, I think any time they're tackling terrorism and such, you're walking a fine line. It's interesting you think that line was corny ... I guess I can see that. I do like the idea of CIA agents blaming themselves so passionately though. But yea, corniness factor... I can see that too.

This comedian Hannibal Buress had a pretty funny joke about Homeland on Conan recently (no spoilers). Skip to 3:15 to see the joke. No clue who this guy is, but he made me laugh a few times.

I still need to start Friday Night Lights one of these days. Saving that for a rainy day.

Are you watching me? Where are the cameras? I'm being 100% truthful when I say that I just watched that stand-up set last night (I've seen Buress a few times on the John Oliver New York Stand-Up Show, and I watched a few of his sets on YouTube). Get out of my internet history! :-P (Buress did do a great set on Craig Ferguson back in 2007 that's on YouTube, and his most recent album is pretty solid. He's got an interesting demeanor but knows how to emphasize the right parts of the joke when he talks.) I think it's really just that line (that they replay in the opening every single episode) that I find corny. Pretty much everything else is great. And I'm only on episode 8 (Achilles Heel), but the Tom Walker stuff is awesome. FNL is a great show, but it does take a certain mindset. It was a weird show in that football fans might not like the drama parts, and drama fans might not like the football parts (you have to be able to at least tolerate both). But it had some truly great moments, especially in the first 3 seasons, and managed to completely turn over it's cast once the originals graduated, which is no small feat. Matt Saracen is awesome. You will have to mute it every time Minka Kelly speaks though, which can be tough.

Yea, you were in the other room getting coffee while I pretended to cry a little bit. That's when I made my move.

Season two starts in like two weeks or something too. That, plus Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Walking Dead, some other random shows -- and the NFL of course -- should tie me over until BB returns.

Sundays are a frighteningly slothful day for me this time of year.

Never heard of Fringe... But many of those on your list are solid.  So I'll check it out.

I still fast forward through almost every conversation that involves Skyler (or is it Skylar?). Can't stand her. Those scenes are SOOOOO SLOOOOOOOWWWWWW.

Mildly funny this thread would pop back up today, since I just started rewatching it in preparation for the final 8 episodes. Sklyer has some decent lines in the fourth and fifth season, but yeah, most of her scenes drag. And none of her story arcs (Ted, the stuff with Marie, etc.) are particularly memorable. Come to think of it, the show's been pretty bad with the few women it does have in general, except maybe Jane, though that character's so archetypal I doubt it was particularly challenging.

While I don't disagree that she has become pretty damn annoying, be careful doing that because you risk missing things like this ...

The last line of this scene is pretty good too: (Obviously, spoiler alert should be implied since it's a video that you don't have to click play on.) [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrtyYCWjR0s[/VIDEO]

Right ... And I figured that since it was from a show that is 8 months (or something like that) old and posted in a thread with said show as the title, that if you are a fan of the show yet not caught up, and are perusing this thread and clicking links willy nilly, then you are playing with fire and probably deserve to get burned. :)

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
