    I'm glad to get Ferguson back on TV but would prefer him in a talk
    show. That's where he truly shines.

    She's out, she's in, she's out, she's recurring, she's in again... what's the deal here? Is there something going on with the actress or do the writers and producers just not know what to do with the character?

    Good news for Anim!

    TASK Trailer: Mark Ruffalo & Tom Pelphrey Star in Brad Ingelsby's HBO
    Crime Drama; Premiere Window Set (May 15)

    ["in TASK, set in the working class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI
    agent (Ruffalo) heads a Task Force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man (Pelphrey)"]

    How can he be both leading the robberies and be unsuspecting?

    Only eight episodes now. I used to lament how shows only manage 10 episodes
    per 'season' compared to the standard 24 episodes of my yout. Now they can't even manage 10 episodes. They really need to stop calling these things TV series; they're truly in what used to be considered mini-series territory now. They're basically just long movies at this point.

    Did I beat Robin with this? Is there an ice cream award involved?

    Mark Ruffalo & Tucker Pillsbury Join Natalie Portman in Lena Dunham's
    Netflix Rom-Com GOOD SEX (May 19)

    Why does Lena Dunham insist on making everything she does about sex when there's nothing remotely sexually attractive about her whatsoever?

    Money for nothing. I mean really one day a week (or maybe a month) for
    a good deal of money. It's a low stress job that gives him something
    to do for $$$. Can't blame the man for that.
