The Hollow Crown: Henry IV, Part II

Last time on "It's Hard Out There For A Lancaster": yes, they do previouslies instead of the "Rumours" chorus, which actually I admit I don't miss at all. This second part is generally less popular than the first, but in this version I felt it was actually the better one. Still suffers from Chimes at Midnight comparison as far as cinematography is concerned (though Eyre now remembers to do the occasional non-eye level shot), but what doesn'?t? The acting is top notch, and overall it felt like a Rembrandt painting come to life. And I finally was reminded where jesuswasbatman' "I cannot abide swaggerers" quote is from.

Breaking Bad 5.01

Show! Watching you in real time now without having the next episode to go to on the dvd is weird. That was a hell of a season premiere. Also, clearly Jesse must have watched Veronica Mars. I approve.
