Caught up on 1st two episodes of Better Call Saul and I liked this show more than I thought I would. Spoilers. The first episode dragged, the montages were a little long, but they're not any different than those in Breaking Bad. It's just cooking Cinnabons ain't the same as cooking meth. The second hour was better especially with the guy with thing in the living room with the salsa and then out to the desert. Space blanket guy is his brother based on info I heard from the writers of the show, when I learned that, things made more sense. Michelle MacClaren directed the second hour, did an awesome job as always. They're milking the developing relationship with Mike, which makes sense. FYI, the second episode is free on the AMC website, have to pay elsewhere. I didn't doubt the acting chops of the lead actor, I've seen him in shows elsewhere, it's just whether there's enough material to write for the character, there are lawyer shows abound. Looks good so far. Oh and those bone crunching noises - squirm. Not sure which was worse, these or squeezing a woman by cracking bones into a suitcase in another recent show on FX.

I watched em both last night, and loved it.  Without even being a critic, you could tell it was put together by the BB people.  I agree that the thing with the guy and the salsa on the carpet was fantastic, and I also loved the Napolean Dynamite twins.  Still no spoilers, but there was one part (Ep 2) - well, actually 2 successive parts - that LITERALLY made me cringe. ;)

And no idea what's going on with space blanket (yes, that's his brother - the McGill part kind of gives it away, no? ;)) guy either - apparently some really unusual magnet-related affliction.

Oh, and I was a big fan of the blonde lawyer chick when she was on Franklin and Bash so I hope she has a big role.

Can't wait for Ep 3!!!

I'm dying to know if the guy club soda'd the salsa carpet stain,  ha ha! God, he's such an entertaining psychopath.

Yea, in the novel they are slow zombies. A ton of fans of WWZ are having a huge problem with this change; however, nothing churns my stomach more than a group of fast zombies coming at me at full spee

LOL, I would agree!  (Never :beer: mind that they would never have been in that position in the first place without said lawyer ;))

The wife and I started watching The Blacklist lately. It's a little corny how Red's character knows anyone and everything related to each major event... but not enough to really bother me. We are both enjoying the show so far.

Yeah, we enjoy this as well.  You nailed it - it's a little formulaic and a little over the top how Red knows EVERYTHING that is going to happen 8 steps ahead of everybody else - but it's entertaining, so we're still watching it. :beer:

Yeah, same here.  Was telling my friend the other day that the wife and I have 3 or 4 shows we watch and enjoy, but I'd probably not watch any of them if she didn't.  But BCS is on a different level.  I'm watching that one with or without her and I'm already eagerly looking forward to the next episode every week.

QI finally here in the US on BBC America. Always learning lots of new things plus fun banter if you like that dry English wit.

Put Parks and Recreation on the back burner, finally started to watch, trying to get through season 1 (yeah, I know it just ended.) I know it gets better season 2, but very uneven this season is and slow to get through it. Good thing it's only 6 episodes, about halfway through. Amy Poehler, you are funnier than this. You get funnier right?

Had the same problem. Gets much better when Rob Lowe joins the cast, I think later in season 2.

I really don't get the need to binge all 13 hours of House of Cards in one sitting. Crazy.

My son was visiting the other day. I had bought some new workout gear. Was wearing an Under Armor tee, pretty cool shirt, clima cool, all that. He accused me of wearing a Chris Trager shirt. Funny.

Monument Valley on House of Cards! I sold my Xbox on eBay it was too addictive is another sneak in ad? Windows phone is the smartphone of endorsement this season. Colbert being Colbert. On chapter 30 so far. Pretty much on par with the past 2 seasons.

Season 2 of Vikings just opened up on Prime, I'm already on ep 7. Greatness.

I think Vikings represents the pinnacle of made for TV production - with all that goes into building the elaborate sets, boats, props, battle scenes, etc etc  ... it's pretty much unprecedented.    Loosely based on fact makes it even more engaging.   I can see why it took almost a year between seasons - it just takes so long to produce that level of awesome.

I challenge anyone who hasn't seen it to watch this current season trailer:

I have Amazon Prime and have been meaning to watch it. So many good shows these days. Hard to get to them all. I'll get to it soon though.

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
