Keri Russell’s KGB spy on “The Americans” is the most merciless character on TV. Even so, she has us in her thrall

Space artist Don Davis digital painting of the Feb 2, 2013 Chelybinsk fireball
My digital painting, based on what info I have gathered of this event, seen from about 10 km altitude looking down on the city of Chelyabinsk. The maximum burst is just beginning, sending shock waves that will take over two minutes to reach the ground.
No no no…..
Pepsi decided it would venture into the whole Energy Drink genre, bringing out their own version called Mountain Dew KickStart.
Offering the flavors of Orange Citrus and Fruit Punch, and packed with vitamins and 5% juice, this 16 oz can is being dubbed as a good substitute for a coffee from your local Starbucks.
Resist the urge people! Steer clear of this stuff!
You just might get that kick the wrong way. I had one… burped, and smelled dandelions!
Drinking a can of Drain-o might be healthier!
EVIL!!!!!
What to watch this spring
Up until a few months ago I was down in the dumps over the state of TV. Sure, there were a few good things on, but for the most part the majority of the programs airing stunk. And while I won’t argue that most TV still stinks, I would say that over the last few months a few great shows have debuted both on cable and online.
Here’s what I’m liking:
- House of Cards, Netflix. Even though the entire series is currently available online, I’ve been treating this one like a regular show and only watching one episode a week.
- The Walking Dead, AMC 9PM Sundays. Is The Walking Dead as good as it once was? Nope. Is is still better than most everything else out there? Yep.
- Bates Motel, A&E 10PM Mondays. Only one episode of this has aired to date, but it’s got a lot of promise.
- The Americans, FX 10PM Wednesdays. Currently this one is my favorite show on TV. It’s that show that I wish each show was three hours long instead of one and count the days before each new episode.
Returning soon:
- Doctor Who, Returns to BBC America Saturday March, 30.
- Game of Thrones, Returns to HBO 9PM Sundays March, 31.
- Mad Men, Returns to AMC 9PM Sundays April, 7.
In Hollywood, Zombies Take Their Time
“World War Z” has undergone no shortage of scrutiny and revision at Paramount in the seven years since it took root.
First came a year of head-scratching over the peculiar structure of Mr. Brooks’s novel, which is set up as an “after action” report to the United Nations on the zombie wars. Then J. Michael Straczynski began to write what he now says were about 10 drafts of the first script.
All were built around a United Nations investigator who uncovered a conspiracy that intentionally evoked the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But “nothing of any of my drafts remains, other than the names of the characters,” Mr. Straczynski said in a recent e-mail.
