Gotta say, I am surprised that TWD has gone 2 for 2 this season with episode two being even better than the premiere.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Anyone catch Homeland last night?

Good for you, Carrie, good for you. The acting is really up there, damn. Best show on TV?

Too cheap to pay for Showtime. :P

Bought Season 1 of Homeland. Am about six or seven episodes in. It is brilliant. It's like 24 without the stupid 24 hour premise, and super Jack Bauer.

Super Jack Bauer was entertaining. Agree about the happening in real time gimmick.

It's on superchannel. Tele-Quebec's going to air season 1 too.

I think that's crazy english version = 15$/month or whatever

French version is avalaible in the middle of the woods.

Homeland  I found took some getting into. The first episode or two were thoroughly meh, struck me as rather silly, but it picks up and yeah, got pretty great.

why did the guy with her distract the other zombies and lead them away whilst she opened the fence to get the corpse? There were just 5 of them, every dead zee helps...

Every alive zombie outside the gates is another layer of protection, too, unless you get to a breaking-point where they might destroy the gates.
hmm, fair point, humans are the real enemy and all that. Guess it disguises that they're there somewhat too.

In the Mood for Love. I have mixed feelings about this one. Beautiful but boring. So many lingering sweeps with the camera, so much plot development taking place offstage. Ultimately, this film succeeds more as a work of art than entertainment.

I thought this was an HBO show... no wonder I can't find it! Damn.  I'll have to make a Zoupa out of me to get it now.

Been watching the "World Without End" miniseries.

"Pillars of the Earth" I thought was quite good.  "WWE" is way too over-the-top silly.

Beeb as a nice little 3 part series about our prehistoric ancestors, called 'Prehistoric Autopsy', not dumbed down and includes lots of American experts explaining real science, take that N.A. creationists !

They reconstruct a Neanderthal, a Homo Erectus and all the way back to 'Lucy' from 3.4million years ago.

Stopped watching World Without End after about episode 3. Boring.
