Halt and Catch Fire
Anybody watching this? The lead man seems like a mix between Don Draper and Walter White, the boss at Cardiff is the best thing going for the show thus far as I don't really care about any of the leads.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
i liked the initial twist where he forced cardiff into the pc
also like that all their software business is jumping ship, and he didnt anticipate that happening
i, too like the cardiff guy
see if they can keep it up

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
I'll give this two more episodes
What the hell kind of widget are they creating? they've changed it like 3 times
first an IBM clone like Compaq made
Then an IBM PC that's twice as fast and twice as light twice as cheap
Then a smaller IBM PC clone that is actually slower to make it lighter?!?!
I don't know if Pace's character is shaping up to be a full blown sociopath or what.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
^With you on the 2 more episodes. Its really trying to be VERY IMPORTANT TELEVISION. I mean I am glad they keep pointing out the one girl is really punk I did not get that until the second or third montage. OMG he has gay sex how edgy. It has long shots of animals in the highway just like Breaking Bad.
Holly shit this show is House of Cards but in 80s computer world.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
I am pulling the rip cord. I hate everyone on the show but the wife at this point. Sick of the art shot. And its just really dumb with people making dumb decision after dumb decision. And I guess the one girl is a punk or something not sure after the first few episodes but I am starting to think she just might with her listening to loud punk music, being an artist with her code, and going to spray paint her bosses house. I am sure this is the most popular show in the Valley because holyshit is it a handjob to their we are the only rebels and creative people of the world. But, I don't think anyone else in the world watches this show. Aqua Teen Patrol Squad airing at 345 AM had more viewers. I am sure a test pattern on TBS had more viewers but they only list the top 100 shows.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
watched two episodes. I was stoked to see how they would present the reverse engineering part, but they skipped the whole process and focused on the guy's family problems. nobody got time for that
Hey, by the way who's Curt?

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
Now that I know Lee Pace's character is based on young Steve Jobs I will give this season a shot before quitting.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
I don't know how, but the show got renewed.
I watched every episode and really hated the finale.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
2 of the last three episodes were really great and it seemed this show was finally hitting its stride, agree with Dan that finale was shit. Might come back due to the high point it finally reached.

Re: Halt and Catch Fire
I'm so happy this got renewed. Can't wait
