What Is 'La French Tech' Supposed To Do?
Less than two months ago, French president François Hollande made a speech in front of the tech community at the Élysée to show his commitment to La French Tech. As a reminder, La French Tech is a publicly funded initiative to promote French startups under a single brand in France and abroad — or at least, that was the plan. For the last few days, sources have told me that the… Read More
Apple's Beats Acquisition Gets Approval From The European Commission
Apple has the green light to proceed with its acquisition of Beats Electronics and Beats Music from the European Commission. Both companies do indeed sell headphones in the EU, which is part of the motivation behind the scrutiny, but Apple and Beats don't hold a sizeable combined market share of the headphone category in Europe, the Commission determined, and the types of hardware they… Read More
Sunrise Raises $6 Million From Balderton And Others To Build The Perfect Calendar
A year and a half after launching its first calendar app, Sunrise is raising a $6 million Series A round from Balderton Capital and existing investors — Bernard Liautaud is joining the board. The company had previously raised $2.2 million. Sunrise is also launching a platform preview for third-party developers, so that other companies can build apps for the calendar… Read More

Happn Is A Dating App Powered By Real Life Interactions
It's a sunny Wednesday afternoon, you're sitting outside at a café in Paris. You see this beautiful person who is about to leave, and you get a warm fuzzy feeling. Unfortunately, you don't have time to introduce yourself, they're already gone. Until now, the only thing you could do was maybe post something in the missed connections section of Craigslist or the… Read More
Tok Tok Tok Hires Former Carrefour CFO Eric Reiss To Head The European Delivery Startup
Conventional wisdom has it that Tok Tok Tok is an idea that can't work. In a few taps, you can order anything you want in Paris, but it will cost you between €5 or €10 depending on where you are. So why would you order a fine burger from Big Fernand if there is a 30 percent premium on the final price? Some users already order dozens of times per month, but the startup has bigger… Read More
Save $9, Here Are The TechCrunch Staff's Email Addresses
I hate email. But there's one thing I hate even more: people selling my email address. Currently trending at the top of Product Hunt, Pressfarm is an email database for tech journalists — and it's not free. After creating an account, you can pay $9 a month to get access to a curated list of email addresses of people working for publications such as Business Insider, Re/code… Read More
BlaBlaCar Raises A Massive $100 Million Round To Create A Global Long Distance Ride-Sharing Network
In what is the largest VC round in a French startup of all time, BlaBlaCar just raised a $100 million round led by Index Ventures, with existing investors Accel Partners, ISAI and Lead Edge Capital also participating in the round. Previously, Deezer raised a $130 million round from Warner Music Group's owner Access Industries, but it wasn't VC money per se. "Our ambition is… Read More
Phonotonic Is A Nifty Music Device That Turns Movement Into Music
Meet Phonotonic, a new music device that you can back on Kickstarter. What's interesting is that you don't need to have any actual music knowledge to play with Phonotonic — it's all about movements. When I first saw a demo of Phonotonic, I was skeptical. The French startup then let me play with it for a few minutes, I started enjoying moving my arms around and listening… Read More
KelDoc Raises $1.4 Million To Make It Easier To Find A Doctor
French startup KelDoc is raising $1.4 million (€1 million) from Alven Capital and business angels. KelDoc is what you could call a ZocDoc for Europe. But managing doctor appointments is a very regulated market, and KelDoc has a deep understanding on how this kind of service needs to be adapted to the French and European markets. At heart, KelDoc is a website and smartphone app to look and… Read More
It's Never Been A Better Time To Create A Luxury Startup
As I'm based in Paris and work in the tech ecosystem, there is a lot of chatter about luxury brands and their future. Paris is still the city of outrageously beautiful goods and clothes from powerful brands. Luxury shops are still crowded with countless of tourists. Yet, when I talk with people around me, it has become much more trendy to find a new up and coming brand before anyone… Read More
With Project Miami, Bouygues Telecom Partners With Google To Reinvent Its Innovation Strategy
In the fascinating French telecommunications industry, Bouygues Telecom has had a rough year. Now, the company has no choice but to rethink everything from the ground up. And this is exactly what the company is planning to do with Project Miami. It's a bold experiment. Read More
French Soccer Fans Can Yo The National Team
The jury is still out on if Yo is the future of electronic communication or just a conversation-starting fad, but that isn't stopping brands getting in on the one-syllable action, as they are wont to do. Read More
Withings New Smartwatch Looks Good Playing Dumb
Here's a curveball for you: Withings, which is an excellent fitness-based electronics company with all kinds of fun products like trackers and smart scales, has just bested all the smartwatch makers out there with the new Activité watch. At first glance, it looks like any other old analog watch. It has a clean white face, a leather band, and all the class and glamour of a night at… Read More
Heetch Is A Ride-Sharing App For Late Night Party-Goers
Meet Heetch, a French ride-sharing app with a twist. Instead of going head-to-head against Uber, Chauffeur-Privé or LeCab in Paris, the company is operating a ride-sharing service that only works at night, mostly when you're out partying. The company recently raised $500,000 from Via-ID and has been growing steadily for the past 9 months. "Our users generally take the subway… Read More
Lenka Might Be The Black-And-White Photographer's Dream App
Photo apps have evolved from adding filtering, to being social, to smashing up the two. Instagram grew like a weed based on this philosophy. EyeEm has grown by making your feed of friends' photos look so good, you know you just have to take great photos as well (there's some clever algorithms at work there). Now a new app, designed by one of the world's best photographers… Read More
Etsy Buys French Startup A Little Market In Its Largest Acquisition So Far
Etsy announced today that it has acquired a French company called A Little Market, a Paris-based online marketplace for handmade items. Though terms of the deal were undisclosed, Etsy says that this is its "sixth and largest acquisition to date." A Little Market will continue to operate independently. Read More
Music Streaming Social Network Whyd Gets An iOS App
Following the closing of a $700,000 seed round at the start of this year, music streaming social network Whyd has been busy putting some of that modest capital to work with the development of its first foray into mobile. Read More
Kima Invests In Pakistan-Based Startup Behind Groopic Photo App
The world just got that little bit smaller. The Pakistan-based startup behind Groopic, an iOs and Android app that 'lets the photographer be in the picture' has secured an investment from Kima Ventures. Kima is a seed stage capital firm with headquarters in Paris, France, and is known to invest at a high velocity. Eyedeus Labs, which made Groopic, is an alumni of Plan9, … Read More

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.
Follow Randball on Twitter
Brett Favre made an ad for a guy named Thad, and everything about that is kind of sad. Sure, it's just your vague, run-of-the-mill political endorsement ad ... but ...
We're starting to think he's not coming back, you guys. He's too grizzled. He's finding too many other ways to stay in the spotlight. Pretty sure he's retired for good.
The Philadelphia Soul were once owned by Jon Bon Jovi. The Los Angeles franchise is named the KISS, and it is owned by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and co. (Yes, we're aware KISS preceded both bands and has a slightly different genre, but you watch the video for Heaven's On Fire and try telling us they weren't playing the game to make a buck in the 1980s).
There are 14 teams in the league currently. Neil's franchise would make it 15. We would really like it if every team in the league had some sort of hair band ownership affiliation. So here is how we propose to make that line up based on the current teams and bands that would make natural fits as owners:
Arizona Rattlers: Alice Cooper has extensive ties to Arizona and the Phoenix area, having attended school there and launched his career there. He's already a massive golf fan, having credited that sport for helping him overcome substance abuse problems. Why not add football to the mix?
Los Angeles KISS: Spoken for, loud and clear. We would love to attend a game in full KISS face paint.
San Antonio Talons: A surprising lack of hair band acts have San Antonio origins, but we are in luck because there is a BAND called Talon. They formed in 2002, they can be found on the Spirit of Metal web site, and their 2010 release was called "Fire in Your Soul." Here's a song from it called "Still You Run." YES!
Las Vegas Outlaws (presumably in this division, though we wouldn't tell them what to do): Again, spoken for. Vince Neil was better at hair metal than most of us will ever be at anything else. Motley Crue rocked so hard, and we will fight anyone who claims otherwise. Also, we would call this team the Las Vegas Dr. Feelgoods, but that's just us.
Portland Thunder: This team should be owned by the Oregon-based glam metal band Black 'N Blue, which would immediately rename them the Portland Black 'N Blue. Per wiki: Originally calling themselves Movie Star, the band later chose the name Black 'N Blue based on their 'in-your-face' sound and denim and leather look. Do they have a song called "Chains Around Heaven" which could be used for short-yardage measurements? YES THEY DO.
San Jose SaberCats: All sorts of choices here if we expand to the entire Bay Area, but we'll go with Metallica, which has deep East Bay roots. An Arena team coming onto the field with "Unforgiven" or "Master of Puppets" blaring and James Hetfield screaming from the top of his lungs in the owner's box? Sign us up.
Spokane Shock: Again we run into trouble with a natural city affiliation, so we turn to the Canadian metal band Shock for the perfect ownership situation. Not sure they are going to finance a team $7 at a time, but then again we're not sure what a franchise in the AFL goes for.
Cleveland Gladiators: Cleveland is the city of origin for Black Death, which per Wiki is noted as the first all-African-American heavy metal band. They've been around from 1977-present! If the song Night of the Living Death doesn't make you want to sack a quarterback, nothing will. (Seriously, this is great).
Iowa Barnstormers: Slipknot is from Des Moines.
Philadelphia Soul: Spoken for, even though Jon Bon Jovi is no longer the owner. Past or present affiliation is all we ask for.
Pittsburgh Power: Poison originated in Pennsylvania before relocating to California, and that is plenty good for us because we need the deep pockets and even deeper discography of a band like Poison in the modern AFL.
Jacksonville Sharks: Limp Bizkit is from Jacksonville.
New Orleans Voodoo: New Orleans had a thriving metal scene in the late 1980s, but for our money Crowbar has to bee the owner of the team. Their debut CD was called "Obedience Thru Suffering," and nothing else can describe two-a-days better than that. Care to have a listen?
Orlando Predators: There's a band called Predator, and it has Florida ties. Enough said.
Tampa Bay Storm: Metal band Deicide hails from Tampa and formed like every band of that era formed: by answering an ad in a magazine. As if you needed any more urging that this band should own an AFL team, please read this passage from their wiki page, from their early days when they were performing as "Carnage": Malevolent Creation guitarist Phil Fasciana recalls an early Carnage show: "It was like Slayer intensified a thousand times. I guess Carnage had hollowed out a mannequin and filled it with [redacted] blood and guts from a butcher shop... and then they threw the [redacted] thing on the floor. Morbid Angel had these pit bulls with them back then and they were just tearing the meat up. It was a really weird scene, man. There was blood and meat everywhere.
Thoughts, improvements, etc., in the comments.
Jimmy Graham of the Saints is involved in a grievance with the NFL over whether he should be considered a wide receiver or a tight end. The difference is about $5 million in franchise tag salary.
We've always known Graham as a tight end, particularly for fantasy football purposes. The NFL's case is a little more complicated. Or is it?
Among @NFL's arguments: Jimmy Graham meets in the TE room, lines up where TEs line up… and lists himself as a TE on Twitter (really).
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 17, 2014
By this logic, we eagerly await the day when the NFL tries to use our "freelance lover of jumpsuits" piece on our Twitter bio against us. Because we will crush anyone in our path when it comes to jumpsuits.
Then again, if the Winklevoss twins had only thought of this, they would be running Facebook.
Aaron Rodgers likes Johnny Manziel. Does that mean we have to UN-like Manziel, or does this only make our secret admiration for the rival Rodgers grow. Dilemma!
In any event, here's what we're talking about, per ESPN.com (AP photo of Rodgers before the Vikings game last year, and not long before he probably opened a tap room in Northeast).
After Rodgers was photographed recently by Us Weekly magazine holding hands and kissing his new girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, he said he was not bothered by what earlier in his career he would have described as an invasion of his privacy.
"I'm just going to live my life and enjoy my relationship and realize that comes with it," Rodgers said during an interview on Monday. "I still enjoy what little privacy I have left, and I'm going to hold on to that. But I'm not going to let that stuff bother me in ways that it used to."
In that regard, he said he admires how Manziel has handled all the attention that has come with being "Johnny Football."
"His talent speaks for itself, but you know what, I think he has kept the right attitude through all of this," Rodgers said. "He's a young guy doing what young guys do, and he's enjoying life. He's had some opportunities to do some pretty cool things -- sitting courtside at games and whatnot -- but he can't control the people taking pictures of him. He can't control the people wanting to be around him. He can control where he's at, and I'm sure he learned a little more about some of the reaction he's going to get when he does go to Vegas or whatnot.
If anyone can pound some positivity back into the career of Josh Freeman, it's former Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden.
A couple of Tampa Bay guys whose careers with the Bucs didn't overlap at all. Why not?
[Also, presumably weej = week, but we're not hip to all the slang]
Attempting to get career back on track, Josh Freeman will work out w/ Jon Gruden next weej and QB guru Terry Shea the week after.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Chase Elliott took out Buster Graham early in the ARCA Series race.
Then their crews collided in the pits and again in the garage.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Chase Elliott took out Buster Graham early in the ARCA Series race.
Then their crews collided in the pits and again in the garage.
Team members on both sides became involved in a heated skirmish on pit road early in the race, and it spilled into a post-race melee in the garage before they were separated by series officials.
All the commotion was going on while Grant Enfinger celebrated his first win at Daytona International Speedway.
Enfinger raced to his third career victory Saturday in the stock car series, becoming the 37th driver to win in 51 ARCA races at Daytona.
"I think we put ourselves on the map last year with a couple of wins," he said. "But to be able to do it here in front of everybody ... it's just an incredible feeling."
The race spiraled out of control with a multicar wreck 13 laps into the 80-lap event. Graham blamed Elliott for being turned sideways and triggering a massive wreck that took out a whopping 15 drivers.
Elliott, the 18-year-old son of 1988 Cup champion Bill, made his 12th career ARCA start — and not many friends.
"It's too early in the race to get aggressive like that," Graham said. "He's got a lot to learn."
Will Kimmel started eighth and had one of the cars collected in the crash.
"It's part of it when we come down here to Daytona with a bunch of rookies," Kimmel said. "There's some people in fast cars that really don't know what to do with them. When you stick them in a bunch like that, they think that because they've got a run, you're supposed to hit the guy in front of you and they don't use the middle pedal."

Advice on CL chair
I'm looking for a comfy reading chair for my office and saw this chair and ottoman on CL. How difficult do you think would it be to make a slipcover? No serious sewing experience.
It's hard to judge your ability, but this is a fairly simple chair. I have slipcovered a dozen items, and I think the arms of a chair are the hardest part. I would advise to keep your fabric choice simple-no obvious diagnals or stipes. The typical method is to place the fabric face down and start pinning. You could use velcro on the cushion closure to avoid inserting a zipper.Watch a few u-tube videos and try it.
I think if it's clean and in great condition, it's a good buy. But, if you need to slipcover it to use it in your home, when you say 'no serious sewing experience', what does that mean?
Have you made things like throw pillows or any form of window treatment? Do YOU feel with your experience that you could cover it and make it look like what you want to see in your office? Are you excited about making a slipcover for it and eager to start that process?
If you answer those last 2 questions with a no, then you'd have to pay someone else to slipcover or reupholster it for you, unless you have a friend who'd happily do it free.
Think of the fabric and labor cost that you might have to add, and is it then a good buy for you?
Do you like arrmless chairs for reading? Is it really really comfortable?
Is this a short term solution or is this the style you really want for the room?
On the other hand, maybe you want to try to make a slipcover and this would be a good project to try so the above questions are not so important.
For me, the slanted back and lack of arms would take it out of the running as a reading chair. It looks great for dreaming or napping, though.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello typophiles...
Pop up browser ads can be very annoying, but I can't help but keep noticing the ads for Orbitz. I really like the fonts they've been using, but for the life of me I can't work out what this one is:
Is it maybe a custom font? Can anyone out there help me?
It does seem to be Tarzana. Thank you very much! The only thing that isn't quite right (that I can see) is the uppercase N non-italic narrow bold of Tarzana is different to the N that appears above (CRBEN!). Perhaps this is a customisation...
Thanks again for your speedy response Mr Sandler.
ok... I totally take back that last comment about the N. I was playing around with the 'set text' (typetease) feature, and the N was different... kind of a weird angle at the bottom... I swear! Anyway, I checked the character set, and it's exactly the same. Ooops.
I was stumped with the same font recently. It's Tarzana by Emigre - I'm postitive!
Stuart :D

Prior to forming Nuclear Honey, Reaves Greer and Gray Henderson played in Raleigh, NC based bands, Ascella Vega and Sign of the Rhino as drummer and guitarist respectively. After each band came to an end, they decided to take a new, more natural approach to music where they would be managing the instruments in which their songwriting takes place. This moved Reaves out from behind the skins to join Gray on guitar. Each having written a number of new songs between Sign of the Rhino and the formation of Nuclear Honey in late Fall of 2011, they leisurely recorded four songs with longtime friend Dave Bartholomew in the front office of his family's tombstone engraving business. The four tracks were released in July of 2012 as their debut EP appropriately entitled, "Tombstone Sessions."
After releasing "Tombstone Sessions", Gray and Reaves felt it was time to expand their sound. In the summer of 2012, they began playing with a rotating cast of local musicians. After settling on a lineup including Raleigh natives Webb Bostic (bass), Michael Day (keyboards), and Kenan Jernigan (drums), the collection of songs grew and the band launched a fundraising campaign via Kickstarter.com to record a new album. Successful in their fundraising, the band released the 7-track album, "Nobody Panic" on June of 2013. "Nobody Panic" is the embodiment of their evolved, full-band, rock and roll sound while maintaining the empathetic tones that shaped the former folk-rock duo.

One of the biggest challenges of the pre-ordering process on Amazon is the dreaded deadline. If you're not accustomed to hitting deadlines, or if they've been a kind of self-imposed suggestion for you (not that I'm judging), it can be especially hard to do it with a book. A lot of moving parts must come together before you can hit the publish button. Also, there are consequences for not meeting this date: you lose your Amazon pre-ordering privileges for a year, and you could end up disappointing a bunch of potential readers. Continue reading

Style Guides: Which Ones, Why Bother?
If you're a writer, you might have heard the names of different style guides bandied about. Or maybe you've wondered if "Chicago Style" is what the well-dressed gentlemen of the Windy City are wearing this season. As an indie author, you might mutter about why these rules are being foisted upon us, because if you wanted rules, you would polish up some query letters and try to snag an agent and a big publisher. Turns out a decent style guide can be a big help for all writers who want to share their work with readers. Continue reading
Amazon Pre-order Follow-up
When Amazon announced last summer that e-book pre-orders would be accepted for garden-variety indie authors, I pounced.

But the most recent show, from the exhibitors to the presenters to the audience, had some huge differences—some good, and some that made me want to punch a wall. Continue reading

The Space
The space is nice and roomy with a king size sleigh bed and a bunk bed, a TV, wireless internet and Uverse. Its on the 3rd floor of the house and has a nice urban view of the street. You can comfortably sleep a family of 4 here. We have an 8 1/2 year old boy so we are family friendly.. Our home is an art gallery on one side and we live on the other; however, we have a ton of paintings on the side we live in also. Its eclectic and unusual but most people love it and want to stay again and again. In addition, I have over 30 years experience cooking in restaurants all over the place and if you want to stay in and have me cook you a special dinner here I love to do that. The price fluctuates according to the menu.
Guest Access
Guests have access to their room, bathroom and kitchen if desired, laundry in basement and garage and carport.
Interaction with Guests
We will be around the house and in the yard but wont interfere with your privacy unless you want to come outside and sit in the back yard; or on the front or back porch or lay in the hammock. Yes, we are here when our guests are here.
The Neighborhood
This is one of the best neighborhoods in the US. It is a super safe, walk friendly, bike friendly place. There are a ton of bars and restaurants in our little city and grocery shopping and antiquing are right around the corner. The YMCA is 2 blocks down with an indoor pool if you're a member or you can go to the outdoor Lakewood Pools for a daily rate. There are several play parks in the neighborhood as well as entrances to the Metroparks less than a mile from the house. If you are coming to Cleveland you have to experience the Metroparks. Its over 100 miles of bike path that winds through forests and parks all connected that circle the city and continue south down the Erie Canal. 45 minutes from here is Cedar Point and The Islands with wineries and beaches and boating. We also have boating right here down in the Rocky River Marina or at the Edgewater Yacht club. Visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, take in a sporting event at one of the arenas or visit a comedy club downtown and try your luck at the Horseshoe Casino. Tour the Cleveland Art Museum, or the Natural History Museum or take a tour on Lolly the Trolley. You can enjoy a dinner cruise and then take in a show at Playhouse Square. There is a ton of fun things to do here!
Getting around
You can walk, bike or taxi (Westlake Cab - 5$ anywhere in Lakewood). If you want to take the bus, it stops right outside of the store next to our house. Busses and RTA Transit can take you anywhere you want to go in the city and greater metropolitan area.
Other Things to Note
We have two dogs but they are very mannerly and outside the majority of the time. The little one will bark when she first meets you but won't after that; and both are groomed and bathed often and I vacuum and shampoo the carpets and furniture frequently so there is no "dog" smell in the house and there's not a lot of hair flying around either as I can't stand it.
I provide Dunkin Donuts and coffee or Bagels and cream cheese and orange juice but if you want you can order eggs benedict or my special recipe biscuits and gravy with eggs or stuffed french toast with mixed berry syrup and sausage links or patties for 30.00 per party (but you can only choose one meal per morning)
No loud music or rough-housing; no drugs and no alcoholics (practicing). Smoking is outside only. Please leave common areas in the same shape they were in when you found them. Only our personal bedrooms and my china cabinet are off limits The rest of the house is yours to share. I love to host people and have had roommates my whole life. A lot of the people who have roomed with me are still my very close friends.
My stay was brief, but the house was interesting and Anitra was very accommodating.
The house is located next to a quiet street, and it is easy to park on the side. Anitra is extra nice and friendly. The room is exactly as described, with wifi, amazon TV, and a warm heating system. We enjoyed Anitra's paintings and other work, as well as cups of tasty coffee!
It is a awesome house. It is full of art. The host is very kind. The kid is very cute! So is the cat and dog. I hope to come back in summer time.
A wonderful and comfortable stay with Anitra! She was an amazing host and a very clean house!!
Anitra was a phenomenal host who went above and beyond to make our stay feel like home. Her house was exceptionally clean and we really enjoyed her and her family's company. The beds were super comfortable and enjoyed being surrounded by her beautiful artwork.
I arrived late in the evening, and was welcomed by my host and her son. After a great conversation, I was shown to my comfy quarters on the top floor. I confess the bed was so comfortable that I slept until 10. Being in a house filled with art (and the artists who created it) was great fun.
Lakewood is a charming town with shops and restaurants within easy strolling distance of the home. Sunday morning, I walked to Lake Erie and explored a waterfront park there. Later that evening, I walked to meet friends for dinner at a local restaurant. It was also convenient to my appointments in Cleveland, so all-in-all, it was perfect.
Great host, inspiring home, beautiful room. What more could you ask for?
This host has 12 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
Hi my name is Anitra Handley-Boyt and my husband Rodney and I live in this great side by side home. We are both artists, as is my mother and our son, Adam. I have a political science degree from Northern Illinois University and a Law degree from Cleveland Marshall College of Law. I am currently running the gallery and our home. I worked for 30 years in the restaurant business and am a pretty decent cook as well.
Five things I can't live without? Family, Friends, Food, Art and Exercise
Favorite places to visit? So far Lake Lure, Biltmore, Asheville area is just a great great place to enjoy life and take in the sites or activities; but, I am dying to go to Italy, France, Spain, Greece,...everywhere!

Top 10 Movies I First Saw in 2014
2014 was the year I stopped watching movies. I was a prisoner of television, which isn't so bad if not for TV having as weak a year as film, although here's something I've never said before: One episode in particular is among the best movies of any year. So I didn't manage my usual 20 discoveries. But the 10 movies here are all the more special to me. I spent the year stuck, and these are the movies that managed to set me free in some small way or, in the case of number one, rooted me so deeply I felt like a twig on a humongous tree, stuck, maybe, but connected.

The Leftovers: Gaudy as fuck
(The following is the fragment I threw up after watching The Leftovers finale. It's very incomplete, but you get what you pay for with Damon Lindelof and Brandon Nowalk both.)
The boldest thing in the first season of The Leftovers is the rapture of a fetus. Life begins at conception it seems. That or non- or semi-life was also raptured. Not that we know of any animals, belongings, or rocks that went. But this fetus did, and it was all to give Amy Brenneman a scene where she's looking at her Ultrasound and then the life inside her disappears, if you catch my meaning and you really can't miss it. The Leftovers isn't saying life begins at conception. It's not really saying anything. It's just trying to be powerful.

The Good Wife is the new Deep Space Nine
In the sixth episode of the sixth season of The Good Wife, our lawyer heroes Alicia Florrick and Diane Lockhart reclaim their Chicago high-rise, just as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine predicted. That's the exact same episode number where Deep Space Nine's Captain Sisko and the Federation finally take back the title space station from the Dominion, an imperial alliance of alien civilizations looking to conquer the galaxy. I'm not here to tell you The Good Wife and Deep Space Nine exist in the same universe, although the evidence is right there in the color of Alicia's mom's hat if you people would just open your minds. But I do stand by the title: The Good Wife is the new Deep Space Nine.

People are never asking me what the greatest shows of the 2010s are, so I came up with half a top 10 list for the half-decade anyway. Now, I think greatness implies bigness, not in size but in substance. That substance can be in a single surgical performance, or it can be in a whole troupe of recurring characters. It can be in story itself, or it can be in how the story is told. There just has to be enough there that you keep watching, thinking about it, talking about it. That's how a show lasts. I think these five shows are big (and good at being big) in all kinds of ways: broad spans, furious burrowing, intricate designs. To me, they're the shows of the first five 2010s.

Star Trek, "The Menagerie": The television trap
In the beginning was "The Cage." Long before Picard stood trial for humanity's violence, there was Gene Roddenberry's pilot about the virtues of that violence. God had more wrath in the old days. Jeffrey Hunter, Jesus himself, played Captain Pike. Answering a distress signal on Talos IV, he's kidnapped by aliens who put him through simulations of real-life experiences in the hopes of mating him with their human female, Vina, all while Adam and Eve are locked up safe and tight in a zoo. Eventually Pike threatens to blow himself up, and the aliens decide humanity is too violent, dangerous, self-destructive, and unpredictable to bother with. NBC rejected the pilot, and it wasn't seen in its original form for two decades.

Gay Old Times 1: Pilot
January 16, 1995
My recruitment into the vast homosexual conspiracy began at a penal colony—hold your jokes—in the premiere of Star Trek: Voyager. That's where we meet Captain Janeway, Kate Mulgrew's1 Picardian Renaissance woman. She's recruiting an inmate, Tom Paris, to be her mission specialist because of Expositions 1 and 2, and she happens to have a personal connection with him via Exposition 3 (she worked for his father once upon a time). "You must be good," he tells the audience, and here's where we find out what Exposition 3 signifies: "My father only accepts the best and brightest." They say great television shows show you how to watch them. So do mediocre ones. Free from the burden of actual storytelling, Star Trek: Voyager becomes a rich and rewarding code. In case it isn't clear from the Native American with the literal forehead tattoo announcing his heritage, it's all about what everything represents.

Dead Wood: Classic TV westerns
As a celebrated #tastemaker with his finger on the pulse of American pop culture, I have a new piece at The A.V. Club on a subject all the kids are talking about: classic TV westerns. I wrote it like I'd never get to write about westerns again—and I might not, my upcoming Have Gun — Will Travel overview notwithstanding—but it's really a guide to this relatively uncharted terrain. I start with five big names to introduce the genre to the unfamiliar. I've planted shimmering lures like John Ford and Howard Hawks and Budd Boetticher to get our cousin cinephiles prospecting. I devote extra time to the stars and skip over the plains, and I pay a lot of attention to visuals, from Ray Rennahan's cinematography on Laramie to the saturated pop-art coloring of The High Chaparral. It's a good guide. Bookmark it.
