AMC - Halt and Catch Fire

It bears a strong resemblance to "Still on Fire," but I figure artists are quite welcome to steal from themselves

Since it’s the last day of the year I finally want to settle something.

Joe MacMillan was killed in an isolated Y2K incident that caused an elevator he was in to fall 48 stories.

He was the only casualty of the 2000 computer bug and became famous worldwide.

Happy New Year.

typical!

Guess I can blame JK Rowling for this, right?

just finished watching the whole series. fantastic show, very sad to see it end. A+ acting, hope all the leads get new roles as worthy as the characters they played here.

lee pace didn't just play joe mcmillan, he IS joe mcmillan

IDK, I can't really picture Joe rocking camo

just re-watched the whole thing ... awesome the second time through. knowing the key plot points deepens the experience. rip gordon.

The first episode is hilarious and bad - the computer nerd who isn't just uncool but is a loser and deadbeat dad, the stupendously hot and cool and rebellious and talented female coder, and the glengarry salesmen - who gets to fuck the coder. But we stuck with it and yeah it gets better. Midway through S2 now, still good but seems to be trying a bit too hard to generate suspense - the legendary engineer just happens to write a devastating virus by accident? The games company that goes two years without even coming up with a single idea for a new game? And I don't quite get the timeshare idea, the mainframe is only available out of office hours so how can they use it during the day?

The scene in the first season where Lee Pace stands on the office roof, rips his shirt off, and screams into the rain, is really one of the worst things ever filmed (topless Lee Pace aside). It’s amazing how good it got later on.

when i re-watched with the family we started at S1E7 (at the LV convention) since the first eps were pretty ropy. really is amazing how good the show became.
