Agreed, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I saw the season premiere last night on couchtuner and it was quite good.
I am still using the old netbook Byron set up to trash all the bad adware/spyware coming in so it's not bad. I probably wouldn't do it on my main computer, tablet or phone though.
Let me know when you guys can see it!

Love the show. I've tried to turn family and friends onto it, but nobody else seems to give a damn.
I'm way behind. I have last season on DVR, and I've only watched half of it. It might be time for a binge.

OMG! I didn't expect or predict that. Holy shit!
It is such a shame he is missing this
I give them credit for doing what the story, and basic logic, demanded had to be done.

If you actually have FX, you can watch it on their online channel. I watched it on putlocker.

I loved it and saw the first couple of seasons before I got fed up with the bad service and constant prices changes of my monopoly cable company that I just cancelled TV. I did keep internet and I hope it shows up on Netflix.
Sorry for the rant.

I wish I was cool enough to have any idea what you are talking about. Couchtuner? Netbook?

Its Us
*relieved* whew
(I was glad that I had followed the story enough, so that I could understand how fraught that moment, was.)
I missed this.
Michael Shannon, two-time Academy Award nominee and occasional internet meme, has given us yet another reminder of the singular quality that makes him Michael Shannon. The “Nocturnal Animals” actor (who received an Oscar nomination for his role) was on “The Tonight Show” last night, treating host Jimmy Fallon and everyone in attendance with a rendition of Sting’s “Russians."

In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, 'We will bury you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent to put
Words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

Russians and Americans
https://youtu.be/A4d71-Fyams
Al Stewart
So here we stand at the edge of 1984
Bracing ourselves once again
For the storm approaching as those
Who long before huddled in caves from the rain
The enemy's face is so hard to see
Sometimes it seems that I see him in you
Sometimes in me
Who can he be?
No use consulting the prophets and leaders they all disagree
Russians and Americans, here's a song for you
Who carry the weight of the world on your heads
Russians and Americans, tell me if it's true
You really believe all the things that you've said
The red-white-and-blue running into the red
From the wars of Europe, the pilgrim fathers
Set off with their hopes and their bond
Some settled down by the coast, others crossed
The mountains and into the flatlands beyond
From scramble and dust of Muscovite streets
Merchants develop the trade routes,
And open the door to the East.
Pioneer waves
Choked by the cold breath of winter,
Or baked by the heat of the day
Russians and Americans
Passing through the fire of revolution and coming of age
Russians and Americans
Driven by desire, two players push to the front of the stage
The whole world now watches each move that you make
Two runners caught in the thrill of the race,
The finishing line is as far as the stars that the satellites chase
Why quicken the pace?
Why does it seem that you choose to lose reason before losing face?
Russians and Americans
Driven by the past, the third world moves in the shadows you cast
Russians and Americans
Could turn the world to dust, so much to live for, so much undiscussed
So much in common and so little trust
From the streets of Athens and Rome the voices still echo to crumbling walls
Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won't fall
Forever the changes we still have to face
Some people say that a country is more and idea than a place
Though nothing is safe
We still choose the mark that we leave on the open canvas of space
Russians and Americans
Maybe you should see into the heart of the world, not its head
Russians and Americans
If you want to be the feet of the world, better mind where you tread,
The footsteps of history are left where you step
So here we stand at the edge of 1984
