I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I had never heard of it until the nominations were announced.

It is very, very good.

It's really good. Great characters. Not sure about the overall plot yet, but it's getting better.

A lot of the tension in the show was undercut by the knowledge that there are several more seasons to come and they're not going to do anything too drastic to the main characters. I mean, even my wife commented that the people in the resistance pretty much suck at their job because they always let these two idiots get away with whatever every time. At least the episode description for the first episode of S2 seems to show that course reversing itself.

The weird cliffhanger ending with Shang Tsung in the square was poorly setup though. I hope there's something to show for it in season two.

Spoiler: show

I get the idea that there are many alternate versions of events just from the facts of the three films we are exposed to in the show, but is the mechanism for the films explained eventually? And does it have anything to do with Hitler's fascination with the occult? because that would be a cool real-world tie-in.
