Anyway, in other news, Article 13 was passed.

That's a funny way to say Twin Peaks.
So I'm going to flip secondhand items as my side job. I have determined that it is the easiest source of extra cash. Second jobs just want you to be their first job and/or work your already barebones to dust.
I vaguely remember something about three novels but I can't remember if they were inspiration for or intended follow-ups. So no idea really. And I could totally be mixeing memories here. Last news I do remember was the announcement for S2. =*(
I thought there was going to be a novel to tie it all up but has there been any further word on that or what?
TOTALLY agree on Carnivale. I just rewatched it a few weeks back. It's taken me this long since its original run to have the nerve to try again. I had hoped that it didn't end as bad as I remember, but OMGOSH it was actually WORSE because I had forgotten the final scene lol. I LOVED that show and it just broke me. I guess it's going to be another 10-15 years before I forget the pain enough to try again. lol.

You better not be talkin' bout Thrones, man.

lol.
I'm talking runs like Carnivale, Deadwood, John from Cincinnati, and arguably The Sopranos. Rome MIGHT fit in there, but it was decent enough of an ending. Just wish it had a longer run.
Gotta agree with you there. Deadwood, at least, is getting a movie follow-up (due out May 31), but the way Carnivale ended was SCANDALOUSLY bad. I realize they didn't know the show was going to be canceled, but still... If they had ended that last episode about five minutes sooner than they did, it might have felt like a proper ending. But then, that last little bit ruined it.
I've noticed that Casey Aflek in the movie Manchester by the Sea and Joaquin Phoenix in the movie You Were Never Really Here have the same tattoo in the same place, a round perfect minimalistic circle under the right arm. I don't know if that's for the movie. Coincidence?

No show is perfect, but I thought it did maintain a pretty solid standard throughout its run in a way that few other shows of its ilk have managed. Certainly better than Thrones dropping off hard from season 5 onwards or even Deadwood losing me towards the end of season 2.

Whereas it's far too easy to read your posts in the voice of the Prison Planet guy.
