Silence of the pew..

A "new" tv show on a channel we don't have (FXX) called Fargo.. Anybody heard of it??  I heard they were making a series of it.. A retelling or something about the movie, story (a reality story) of the happenings there in Fargo North Dakota way back in  ????  and I say I'm not sure because wasn't the movies earlier than that?? Anyway I started watching it and it has Billy Bob Thornton playing a creepy guy (a real stretch) Colin Hanks could have been the creepy guy but plays a police officer..  Bob Odenkirk (he of the lawyer in Breaking Bad and soon to be in Better ask Saul (I think he is supposed to play the Saul part in that Breaking Bad spinoff)) 

















How good is this show?? Well it is not the same as the movie by any stretch.. Is it better?? I don't know, depends on how you view it.. So far, and this clip was from show number two, it isn't horrible but it feels strange watching a show that might or might not be on later.. I mean is this a mini series or is it a show that will be back again next year.. My vote.......... MINISERIES.. But I'm probably wrong.. 


Hey I started watching "The Walking Dead" from show number one the other night.. For no other reason than to take  a look at the first few shows.. How's this for starters??  The way the series starts Rick is walking into a gas station looking for gas amungst the walkers (zombies  yikes) and they are there but then switch to the opening credits and then come back and he and his deputy are parked eating food and nothing has happened yet.. The world is alrighty then.. As the story gets going the best way to have the world end without explanation is to put you lead person into a coma..  For how long??  A few weeks.. Maybe more.. The hell breaks loose and no one has an explanation.. Rick wakes up and shit's in place of reality.. Everything about the show is strong.. No slow start here.. Could there be more explanation to the situation??  Maybe it's better there isn't..  Does it ever develop beyond the hacking of heads stage?? It gets interesting for sure.. I've seen the final episode from this past season that saw things slow to a crawl as far as the story goes but getting story development for background was a good thing this past season.. There really isn't much in the way of that as people do plenty of dying..

(P.S.  I almost forgot.. This past Thursday night I set  new high record in Scrabble.. 401.. Well it would have been 401 but I still had the V which means I lost 4 points.. 397 for my record second highest score but is actually my highest score.. The highest score was in the 400 range but I don't count it because I was playing the "Genius" level but used the help button for every turn, that doesn't count.. Oh, also it was a timed game.. 45 seconds per turn, fifteen minute game.. Fifteen minutes total.. It was actually over in about seven minutes.. i like a little extra time for breathing..)
