Two new shows starting this or next week: Shots Fired looks good and I'm prepared to give Riviera a shot. No pun intended. Watching Resurrection now, though it's pretty much a basic rip-off of the French original. Not bad though. Versailles season 2 is here, and there's a new three-part drama called Paula, which is looking ok.

Line from recent Veep that had me in stitches:

Congressman Jonah Ryan: "We need to do something big, something to make the government take notice of us!"
Other member: "Cut funding to Israel!"
Ryan: "Nah, we won't be doing that."
Same member: "Cut funding to veterans!"
Everyone: "Hell yeah!"

Been watching The Returned which isn't bad. The acting has a definite made for tv sort of vibe but the underlying story is decent enough to keep me interested.

Chula Vista

Anthony Bourdain, Parts Unkown: Antarctica

One of the best, and most challenging episodes he's ever done.

I'm oddly satisfied with the series finale of The Leftovers.

Fame, fortune, power, titties. People say these are the most crucial things in life, but you can have a pocket full o' gold and it doesn't mean sh*t if you don't have someone to share that gold with. Seems simple. Yet it's an important lesson to learn. Even lone wolves run in packs sometimes.

Chula Vista

Amazing how many people actually live there. There's one main complex on the coast that houses about 1,500 people during the 'warmer' months and then about 150 during the winter. Then there's another smaller complex with maybe 100 people that live in the only area of the continent that's not covered in ice. And then there's one about 150 yards from the pole itself that houses 200 people.

All 3 are made up of a combination of scientists, and all purpose staff (cooking, cleaning, laundry, machine operators, etc.)

At the end of each summer a Navy ice breaker creates a path for a huge cargo ship that drops off enough supplies to the main complex to last all 3 complexes for a full year. They use helicopters to distribute the supplies.

Fun fact: Right at the pole is the clearest part of the planet for looking to the stars. They just installed one of the most powerful telescopes in the world there to study the largest black hole in our solar system. They can actually see **** getting sucked into the hole.
