I just started The Wire the other night. About to start episode 3, but I'm not totally drawn in yet. Someone tell me it's awesome and encourage me to stick with it. The Wire is pretty fucking incredible, but it's nothing at all like Breaking Bad or Weeds or Mad Men or...anything, really. It's all balls. No dream sequences, no melodrama, no convenient plot devices, no neat conclusions. It's tough to adapt to that, especially because we're used to artsier TV shows with dramatic scores and moody lighting and symbolism and stuff like that. This is just telling a story as truly and accurately as possible. That being said, it's also enthralling, and I think about halfway through the first season you'll be in love.

I've been sucked into the orbit of the Bad Girls Club Black Hole. Fuck me...
Pea, The Wire is my favorite show ever! Stick with it, HBO put quite a few restrictions on the first half of season one but then backed off and let David Simon and his insanely talented writing staff go all out until the series ended.
PS - Do Black Holes have orbits?

They do have objects orbiting them, yes, just like any other star. But mostly things get sucked in slowly over time. They orbit until they reach the event horizon, and then Lawrence Fishburn goes HAM on them

Also, not sure if you meant to or not but you managed to tie in both the Black Hole, with the orbit answer, and the Bad Girls Club, with the HAM reference! Those girls are HAM as fuck. Well done!

Quick reminder: please do not post Youtube embeds inside of spoiler tags. When I installed the spoiler tags, it said that using them in conjunction with Youtube embeds is strictly against Proboards terms of service. Violation of that particular ToS could potentially result in the board being taken down by Proboards if they catch us doing it.
It's an easy thing to forget. No harm, no foul.
EDIT: At the risk of that seeming totally arbitrary, note the advertisement that often appears to the right of a Youtube embed. Part of Youtube's deal with allowing videos to be viewed off-site concerns advertising revenue -- revenue which is theoretically lost if you can't see the ad because it is hidden in a spoiler tag.

Just watched last night's episode of SNL, and lost my shit when I saw who one of the new cast members was. Last summer when I was in Chicago I went and saw the Second City sketch comedy show, and I distinctly remember telling myself that a particular performer definitely had the potential to end up on SNL. Almost exactly one year later and BOOM, there he is. His name is Tim Robinson and that fucker had me in tears I was laughing so hard during his sketches. His SNL appearances were pretty limited last night, but he's a terrific physical comedian that makes some hilariously ugly faces. Can't wait to see what kind of a career he has in front of him now with this opportunity. Also, Frank Ocean. Holy shit that guy killed it. EDIT: Like I said...

Boardwalk is back! I enjoyed the episode, which continues the at times excrutiatingly slow pace the first two seasons took. Some new faces too so I'm excited to see where the season takes us.
Don't think there are any spoilers in that, but if somebody wants to spoiler it for me go for it.

That was actually the first SNL episode I've watched in a while. (Well I guess it hasn't been on for a while since the break between seasons.) I couldn't stop laughing at that puppet sketch...
