hope sets sail

I was introduced to the wonderful world of HBO on demand the other day. I can watch hbo programming whenever I want? what? and I'm already paying for it?

so I went and did what I had to do: watch the entire first season of extras in one sitting.

I had seen the first episode before and thought "meh" but as the season wore on it just kept getting progressively better. ricky gervais knows how to play one character and he plays it better than anyone else.

here's an example of andy millman (gervais) talking with patrick stewart.

Patrick Stewart: I will "Make It So."
[blank look from Andy]
Patrick Stewart: You've seen "Star Trek: The Next Generation?"
Andy Millman: I haven't, no.
Patrick Stewart: Why? Your wife won't let you have it on?
Andy Millman: I'm not married.
Patrick Stewart: Oh, your girlfriend then?
Andy Millman: I haven't got a girlfriend either. I live alone.
Patrick Stewart: You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend... and you've never watched "Star Trek?"
Andy Millman: No.
Patrick Stewart: Good Lord...

that is, as they call it, slice of fried gold.
