The Daily Hilario(?): Beer flood

Blankety blank blank blank.  Blank.

I finally watched the first episode of The Strain.  It was ok.  Feels like a missed opportunity for greatness, but I suppose it's still early.  HBO's The Leftovers is my new thing; really enjoyed the last episode that was strictly about Chris Eccleston's terrible American accent.
