These are my favorite quotes from the past two weeks, mostly from shows currently on the air, but also other random things I happen to be watching.
Game of Thrones Gendry: How do you keep your balls from freezing off? Tormund: You have to keep moving. That’s the secret. Walking’s good. Fighting’s better. Fucking’s best.

These are my favorite quotes from the past two weeks, mostly from shows currently on the air, but also other random things I happen to be watching.
Grantchester Sidney: This is the life we are here for. We owe it to ourselves to live it.
Preacher
Jesse: This woman last night, she told me about some secret organization with designs on world domination. You know about that? Cassidy: Yeah. Sure. Which one? Is it Z.O.G.? Rosicrucians, Reptilians? Secret society of alien lizards. They impersonate celebrities in an attempt to take over the planet through popular culture. Is that it?
Jesse: …No.
Will Alice: You’re a man. Don’t talk to me about not being free.
Marlowe: Greatness comes at a cost. Yours is to endure your guilt.
Animal Kingdom Smurf: Everything’s fine. Bring your gun.
The Bold Type Kat: Open a bottle of gin. Chase it with nothing. Start typing.
Sutton: I can’t have my hand up there an hour before I’m supposed to shake it with the entire ad sales team.
Suits Harvey: You know I have more than one trick, right? Mike: No, I kow you think you do, but just because you put on a different costume doesn’t make it a different trick. Harvey: Yeah, I liked you better when you were drunk. Mike: I liked you better when I was drunk too.
Queen of the South El Santo: I will not be infected by your faithless deals! Teresa: And yet, here we are.

Since the ATX Television Festival, my schedule has been little wonky. So, here are my favorite quotes from the past two and a half weeks, mostly from shows currently on the air, but also other random things I happen to be watching.
Orphan Black Alison: Poop on a stoop!
I’m Dying Up Here Edgar: That is not how a bladder functions. Gabe: Shut up, Edgar. I’m Jewish, you’re Mexican, which automatically makes me closer to being a doctor than you.
Downward Dog Martin: I think, so often I forget the really, really obvious things in life. Because I don’t think it’s all that hard to be happy. I…I think you just have to be grateful. Like, you have to remember to be grateful for what’s right in front of you. Because me and Nan are really, really different. Like…like, we’re, like, 60% compatible at best. And, like, we have these huge issues we have to work out. But, like, when you’re always running around looking for what’s wrong with everything you just – you just end up miserable. Yeah, like, I’m a trash dog and she’s, like, a fancy lady, but we have each other, and that’s what’s important. We’re not alone. And for that…for that I’m honestly, really, truly grateful.
Martin: One thing I’ve always wanted to ask is just, like, what if we never got out of bed? Like, ever. Why are we so convinced it would be bad? Like, that might – that might solve everything. Or we could not try my suggestion, and we could just, like, keep getting out of bed every day expecting somehow to achieve a different result, even though that’s the actual dictionary definition of insanity. I mean, I don’t know. Maybe it’s worth a try.
iZombie Liv: He escaped.
Justin: How’d that happen? Liv: Said the guy who showed up late.
Fargo Emmit: A lie is not a lie if you believe it’s true.
Doctor Who Bill: You’re not cowards. You’re scared. Scared is fine. Scared is human.
Doctor: That’s the trouble with hope. It’s hard to resist.
Turn: Washington’s Spies
Judge Woodhull: When the consequence of the day rears its head, then we’ll know what we learned.
Orphan Black Rachel: You can be part of this change, or you can be part of the past.
These are my favorite quotes from the end of the summer. Like with everything else, I got a bit distracted and lost track of this list, so here are just a few fun things from the last few months and from the first week of Fall TV.
UnReal Quinn: Loose lips get water-boarded and their bodies get dumped in the desert.
Zoo Allison: This is a change. And we both know you don’t handle change well. Mitch: No, and in some tautological Rubik’s cube of logic, I wish that I could change my aversion to change, but that, in and of itself, would require…change.
Democratic National Convention Hillary Clinton: When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit.
The Great British Baking Show Sue: Don’t let a fondant tennis court be the end of you.
Preacher Cassidy: The last time I checked, this kinda questioning is illegal. Sheriff Root: Not in Texas.
1. Preacher, premieres May 22nd on AMC, stars Dominic Cooper, Ruth Negga, Joseph Gilgun, Lucy Griffiths, Derek Wilson, Ian Colletti, W. Earl Brown, Anatol Yusef, and Tom Brooke. Based on the DC Comics series of the same name, Preacher follows a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer, who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power. While I am sad that we will not longer see Dominic Cooper as the hilarious Howard Stark on Agent Carter, I am excited to see him in this new role. This show just looks like it will be a lot of fun.
2. Roots, premieres May 30 on A&E, History and Lifetime, stars Malachi Kirby, Anika Noni Rose, Forest Whitaker, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Rege-Jean Page, Anna Paquin, Tip “TI” Harris, Laurence Fishburne, Chad L. Coleman, Erica Tazel, Lane Garrison, Mekhi Phifer, Matthew Goode, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Sedale Threatt Jr., James Purefoy, Derek Luke, and G. Hannelius. This remake of the 1977 ABC mini-series is based on Alex Haley’s novel, “Roots: The Saga of an American Family.” It tells the story of Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African who was captured and sold into slavery in the United States, and follows his life and the life of his descendants. I have never watched the original mini-series, but this reboot looks fantastic.
3. Feed the Beast, premieres June 5th on AMC, stars David Schwimmer, Jim Sturgess, Michael Gladis, Christine Adams, Lorenza Izzo, Elijah Jacob, and John Doman. Two best friends follow their dream of opening an upscale restaurant in the Bronx, while dealing with the New York restaurant world, which includes petty criminals, corrupt officials, and violent mobsters. I have not read very much about this show, and AMC seems to be promoting Preacher a little more, but it looks interesting and I like the cast, so I will check it out.
4. Animal Kingdom, premieres June 14th on TNT, stars Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, and Ellen Barkin. Based on the movie of the same name, this series is about a Southern California crime family, and the detective investigating them. I am, and will forever be, Team Ben, so watching a new Scott Speedman show is a no-brainer for me. Then you add Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson *and* Ellen Barkin, and I am all in.
