Rewatched Peaky Blinders, all the way through the new episodes. The new season is really good, and there will be a new series in 2019.

Tom Hardy is awesome on the show. Great scene with Littlefinger/Carcetti, who plays a gypsy. I feel he was underutilized, but was solid.

I always have to rewind and put the subtitles on when Tom Hardy is on screen... I can only catch about 75% of what he's saying without the subtitles.

so glad to hear he's (Hardy) back in the new season. I can't wait to watch it.

He doesn’t get very much screen time, but when he’s on, it’s awesome.

Has anyone watched Taboo with Hardy? I think I got through 3 episodes and sorta forgot about it. I think it had to do more with it being on TBS and me wanting to wait to see if it comes streaming without commercials, but I just thought about it again now. It was very weird, but fascinating show. I need to get back to finding that.

I enjoyed it. The problem I had is I didn't know who to root for. Every character is unlikeable. But it looks gorgeous and I love the time period. And not that it matters, but it's FX not TBS.

Was it a miniseries or was/is there a 2nd season?

Also, what gives with Dr Who Season 10 coming to Amazon? Hurry up already.

What is and where is Skye's power source on her backpack jet engine? #pawpatrolquestions

You're worried about the power source for Skye's jet engine, but have no problem with a dog rescue team that have no opposable thumbs in which to drive said vehicles? We need to solve the easy questions first before getting to the more difficult ones.

Yes, I ponder these questions way too much. I ask my 4 year old if the dogs poop on the toilet or if they take themselves out to the yard to do their business. Do their daddy's tuck them in to sleep every night, and make them brush their teeth?

Season 2 is coming but I don't think there's an air date yet. All I've seen is "2018."

I think 90% of TruTV's programming is Impractical Jokers' reruns.

For any Curb fans, The book of Leon: Philosophy of a Fool had me in tears last night. I was a little worried that 200 pages of Leon would be too much, but you can zip through it in a sitting if you choose to do so. It would also be good for a chapter here and there, but I couldn't stop reading it. Good stuff. I'm sure the audible version is amazing.

I think 90% of USA's programming is Law & Order SVU reruns.

Glenn Howerton Has ‘Not Officially Left’ ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’

You can stop drinking your sorrows, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” fans, cause Dennis Reynolds hasn’t totally bailed on you yet.

During a panel for his new NBC show “A.P. Bio” at the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday, Glenn Howerton confirmed to the room that he “has not officially left” the FXX (and formerly FX) program that has been his home for twelve seasons. He exited after the finale last spring, and signed on for Seth Meyers, Mike O’Brien and Lorne Michael’s comedy, which also stars Patton Oswalt, Lyric Lewis, Jean Villepique and Mary Sohn.

No TJ Miller?

I'm out.

Hate Richard's character so much.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Wed Jan 10, 2018 3:23 pm

He peaced out after last season, or HBO peaced him out.

But I'm curious to see how the show works without him.

I despise the Thomas Middleditch Verizon commercials as well.

Postby **dodint** » Wed Jan 10, 2018 3:44 pm

I liked TJ Miller more in Crashing than I did in Silicon Valley.

Postby **eddy** » Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:08 pm

Is no TJ Miller because of the rape accusations?

Postby **dodint** » Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:10 pm

No, he decided to split last year. He was written off (sort of) at the end of last season.

Postby **nocera** » Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:14 pm

No, he and HBO parted ways after his schedule got busy and HBO offered him a reduced role rather than re-upping his current contract.

Glacé on Netflix looks very promising, whatever its English title is.
