Halt and Catch Fire

[Vincento]

Anyone else see the pilot last weekend? I see potential.

AMC - Sunday at 10PM

Set in the early 1980s, series dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. Their personal and professional partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture in Texas' Silicon Prairie.

I never even saw an ad for this or knew it would be on. The title is fantastic (and the only reason I clicked into this thread).

I watched it and thought it was great. They capture the early 80's perfectly.

i'm not sure what it is about this show but i am really digging it. lee pace's character is such a singularly driven asshole, which is funny cause the things he does and says are so predictable for a manipulative anti-hero. but somehow he makes it feel compelling all the same.

just marathoned 2 seasons of this, I love it.

was an article on grantland highlighting why this season is so much better than the previous.

really, really, really loved this season. every bit of it almost.

Hey was Joe in San Fran in that last scene? That was the Golden Gate bridge off in the distance right? RIGHT?

Yeah that's what I was thinking.
I love this show and I'm glad it's starting to catch on with other people. My new favorite on AMC

yea I was bored one weekend and marathoned the shit out of s1 on netflix and then watched s2 as it aired. Hope they sort out Gordon's mental issue in the upcoming season, i did not like watching those scenes. I prefer the engineer tortured by his own greatness cliche.

Also I was so fucking hype when it was Boz that got on the plane and not Tom. Boz is the best

[Cichy]

I fucking love Boz. Gordon getting screwed over again was pretty funny. He should've listened to Joe when he called him instead of being a dismissive prick.

[Vincento]

This season was great, much better than the first. I liked the direction they took with Joe, and the whole branching out from just one location thing is a good idea. Bos was great the whole season through, Cameron was childish in almost every episode, and Gordon's whole story was pretty poor. Overall sweet season, hope it gets a third.

[kisada]

yeah gordon was pretty annoying. when they gave him brain damage i was like, oh god, they are just trying too hard.

just finished the ep. hell yeah, boz is the fucking best. honestly when everyone was on the plane i felt like i was on there too. i dunno what it is about this show but god damn it's amazing seeing them grow. i remember at one point just being like "I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO WIN AND BE HAPPY"


cannot WAIT for next season. really such a great leap from the first season. also for anyone interested: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prosp...-finale-recap/
