Well, Kings basically got canceled, but since they solicited a box set I'm sure they'll put the rest up on Hulu. A bummer, but not too sad because none of the other episodes lived up to the promise of the pilot.

(I don't understand: you have a 13 episode commitment from NBC, and then after the pilot you blow it by making the episodes feel like American 'full season commitment so let's blow a couple of episodes' crap? Pace pace pace.)

Major Differences:

Basically the number one difference between before I left and after I came back are that now I don't fight with my parents over my education and future: now I fight with them all the time about my brother's education and future.

LAWLS.

AfterElton.com and the head writer of Kings have a one on one.

This link goes out to all y'all who didn't watch last week because you thought it would be homophobic.

Aaron Sorkin's goodbye to Ron Silver.

We Haven't Got There Yet,
an amusing short story by Harry Turtledove. Something tickles me deep inside about the premise. Hee.

Kings: Pilot

Guys. If this isn't the best new TV show of 2009, then there is no justice and mercy in the world. That's how much I liked "Kings". Please, please, o' merciful lady of the airwaves, let this be a big hit so that I can watch it forever. Please let the follow-up episodes be just as good as this.

The Minor Fall and the Major Lift )

I need to watch this again.

NBC's "Kings": what the hell?



... what is this amazing fresh thingy? ON NBC? IAN MCSHANE. I'm sort of not okay with them trying to make the story of David straight (but maybe it's gayer once you watch?)

WHATEVER IAN MCSHANE IS GOING TO BE IN AN EVIL TECHNOCRATIC BIBLE THINGY. THE INTERNET HAS FAILED ME IN NOT INFORMING ME OF THIS EARLIER. FAIL.
