Three Things That Should Trouble Apple
Guy English:
If I watched the first season of Community via Netflix streaming and now want to rewatch it on my TV as fed from an Apple TV? Make it work. I don’t care how. If you want to pop up a dialog thats asks if you’ll charge me $4.99 to $9.99 for the privilege, I’d pay. Let me pick what I want to watch, regardless of the source, and let me watch it. I have very little allegiance to the network that funded the show — I want the content. Figure out how to make that work.
Fans want to watch their shows. They’ll pay to make that happen. Everything else is mired in entrenched interests. Find a way to make that happen and we’ll all agree that Firefly jumped the shark during its seventh season.

Mad Men: Dark Shadows
- Michael Ginsberg: That was a bold last-minute decision—going with your idea.
- Don Draper: I thought it was more what they wanted.
- Michael Ginsberg: Well, we’ll never know, will we? Because they never heard mine.
- Don Draper: Look, I don’t like going in with two ideas. It’s weak.
- Michael Ginsberg: And you don’t wanna be weak, so, you picked yours.
- Don Draper: And they bought it. Which is our goal, isn’t it.
- Michael Ginsberg: What do I care? I got a million of ’em. A million.
- Don Draper: Good. I guess I’m lucky you work for me.
- Michael Ginsberg: I feel bad for you.
- Don Draper: I don’t think about you at all.
This… is by far the darkest timeline.
But we must have faith. Six seasons and a movie!

Party Down
- Leonard Stiltskin: Nobody gives a shit what you think, dink.
- Roman: People care what I think. I have a prestigious blog, Sir.
