Yeah...not sure why he would say that.

Maybe it's because his predictions of cosmic horror didn't pan out?

John Oliver is reusing The Bugle material, but it's okay as long as he keeps using his HBO budget to make it better.

Orange is the New Black. Better than last season. I think they realized the best bits were the character pieces about the inmates. Might do for Prisons what The Wire Did for the war on Drugs. Helped people realize that it is fucked up.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I have been watching the rerun of True Detectives and I am up to episode 4.

This is some amazing TV.  Great writing.  Amazing acting.
Stop at 5.  Do not go past 5.  Never.  Never ever.

Now I have to watch episode 6 just to see why I shouldnt  :D

Don't listen to him. He thought TD was something else than what it actually is, a cop show.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

I started watching this Orange is the New Black show. At first I was wary of it being a chick show. But it is actually rather good. And Regina Spektor theme tune, yay.
The 3rd epsiode IIRC has flashbacks to the transexual when she was a man- is that the same person? With some kind of funky boob removal special effects at play?

No, different actor however twin of the transexual actress.

Laverne & Lamar Cox.

Lamar's the dude.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Josquius

 Oh wow, interesting. Thought he looked a bit too similar to be an unrelated actor.

Roger Moore is my least favorite Bond. He hammed it up way too much, in my opinion.

He was the first Bond I knew.  I think the first 3 or 4 Bond films I saw were his.  So he was sort of the benchmark Bond for me.  Not saying he's better than Connery, but probably my favorite.  For Your Eyes Only is forever emblazoned in my memory.  Watching it 50 times on HBO probably helped with that.

I'll admit to watching Live and Let Die every time I catch it on the telly, but the main reason is the awesome theme song.
