With Andy Daly as the beleaguered assistant they share
There was a cbb where they were all in and daly was playing a character with making vaguely suicidal statements. They broke character to point out that all of Andy daly s characters seemed to want to kill themselves and if was ok. Then proceeded to have Andy daly not only not break character but to do all of the characters he did on the show and jump out the window in order.
It was fucked up and delightful

I remember that! They all kept jumping out the window. Some of them would just come in and say their catchphrase and then defenestrate themselves.

Yeah, "Andy Daly's Cavalcade of Suicides" is one of my favorite podcast moments of all time
Shame it requires like six hours of back-listening to land properly

Some ministers can definitely marry. And would probably be looked at oddly if they didn't.
I'm internet ordained and married and drink and eat casseroles. But I'm only ordained in the order of "online church who accepts Paypal" so I probably don't count.
We were watching a terrible reality show, Downeast Dickering, about guys up here in Maine who barter for things. One of them was asked to run a wedding and went online to get ordained. My wife and college buddy were discussing if that was even possible, so I did the sensible thing and used my cell phone and Paypal account to become ordained during the commercial break.
I'd always understood it was kinda iffy as to what states recognize those online ordainments
Going for the notary public seems to cover you a little better
My state at least you need both the ordainment and to be registered as an officiant - something like 25 bucks. Only laziness has prevented me from doing all that.
I'm starting to develop a new universal theory that Netflix shows should all be 30 minute episodes
All of my favorite ones are the 30 minute ones (BoJack Horseman, With Bob & David, Master Of None, Wet Hot American Summer)
the only exception to this rule I can think of is Orange Is The New Black, and I bet that show would still be better as half-hours
I like House of Cards being a full hour!
I mean, it's really difficult to build an entire house of cards in a half-hour. An hour gives you a bit more time to be careful about how you place them.

I used to think that House Of Cards was a show that started strong and tailed off, but after watching Season 1 again I can confirm that it didn't actually start strong.

I liked the couple of eps in season 1 with him out of DC, though I haven't watched them again (or continued watching the show)

I thought it was pretty good as long as it was roughly tracking the UK plotline, but as soon as they lost that anchoring point it went totally off the rails. The melodrama was both more believable and bearable when the stakes were lower, basically.

I think what they didn't appreciate is that the original is fun. It's a silly story about a charming, evil politician and it goes like a train. I understand that Robin Wright Penn is probably super excited to play Claire as a complex and morally compromised character but it was way, way more fun to have her be Lady Macbeth.
The original also had a plot that didn't require every single career machiavellian aside from the lead to be utterly stupid and naive.

My girlfriend has been watching a lot of Sherlock since the new season posted to Netflix. Without going into spoiler territory, has it always been this idiotic? I remember the first season/series being fairly clever but not quite as far up its own butt

I think it's that the plot of the original honestly doesn't make a lot of sense with the US political system. He could plausibly unseat a prime minister and then quietly see off his competition for the leadership role in the original. Things had to get incredibly fucking tortured for him to
become VP, then president, without anyone realising he was an ultra dick. The fact that once they do get to that point all they could think to do was have him fuck up over and over again didn't help. F U works better as brutally competent and totally uncaring.
Honestly, with real politics, there's nowhere for House of Cards to go that is in any way shocking anymore. Frank works as a counter to Obama. He's a paragon of virtue if you juxtapose him with Trump.

by the season 4 finale it has become nothing but self-parody

Yeah we watched part of that one last night, she fell asleep right around the part where Sherlock and friends were forced into a sophie's choice deathtrap for the, what, third time that episode. Never pressed Stop so fast in my damn life

I'm going to write a fucking dissertation of the season 4 finale of Sherlock because it was that bad.

Heroes had one pretty good episode, a lot of mediocre ones, but mostly really direly bad ones
remember the Taskmaster girl who got kidnapped and then just vanished from the show?

I actually saw one of those pretentious film Youtubers say it was a masterpiece or whatever and pretty much stopped watching Youtube film people after that.

Fewer eps probably. Every season seems to have about 3 episodes where they just spin their wheels.
