The complete box set of arrested development (well complete until they start making it again) is on sale for $60. I haven't actually seen it yet. Did it ever screen here? Should I just buy it while it is on sale?

Ditto about Rome. Ray Stevenson is phenomenal in that role.

Polly Walker's Atia is my favorite performance in Rome.  Maybe top 10 tv character of all time.

Yeah, I saw some clips on YouTube and ninemsn and it looked mediocre at best.

$60.

Seems a bit steep. But you shan't be disappointed.

Polly Walker's Atia is my favorite performance in Rome.

There lies an old Bondo/AAA debate: he's all about the Kerry Condon, while I'm more a Polly Walker man.

I'm not ever sure I was arguing about which performance is better (Walker has a far jucier role, though Kevin McKidd is my favorite from that series, loves me a stoic Scot).

Oh, and hello television thread.

He becomes a much more important character than I would've thought. He's good, though!
