Good/Bad

Whole milk is good. You should drink skim instead because it's more healthy, but when you buy whole milk accidentally because all the milk cartons look pretty much the same, there's no shame in enjoying it.

The new television show Heist is bad. Very bad. Characters-talking-to-themselves bad.

Yes it's bad, but in a goodway. I've never seen an episode till this week and the characters constantly referencing the obvious allowed me to jump right in and 'figure out' the show. Furthermore, it's like 'how to write a caper'. It sticks to the fundamentals and puts them on big blocks to play with. I participate in a Feng Shui PbP focused on heists and something has been lost in the translation to PbP. Watching the show gave me a lot of ideas, because the show is so obvious. The building blocks of a heist. Watch it again and use it as script writing for dummies.

. . . Well, now it's been cancelled. Apparently NBC paid for all 13 episodes but pulled it after three.
