Spacey. Denis Leary. How can it miss?
It will, however, occasion serious flame wars on this board.

I agree with Starman's analysis, but I would have given the series a B+/A-.

Yes, it could have been better, but great miniseries about U.S. history are so rare that I couldn't give it lower than a B+/A-. I enjoyed the series a whole lot and made sure I got home in time to watch it each week. Definitely worth the HBO subscription.

As a side note, I'm excited about watching "Recount" too. Looks fantastic.

When is that coming on? I was thinking about having HBO turned off.

May 25th. Looks really, really great.

Is LOTR technically sci-fi?
I ask this seriously.

LOTR would be considered "fantasy" which is considered a subset of sci-fi or at least read/watched by the same species of nerd.

According to one class I took, it was mythology.

It's a bit of a tweener.

Prediction: Laura Linney will win an Emmy.

Wow, for once in my life I was right.
