E.J. Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Comedian Christopher Titus hosts that Pawn Stars game show. After Anarchy is hosted by some douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It looks like the same guy. Then again it was 3am when I caught it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think the Anarchy post-show is hosted by Chris Franjola (I don't watch, so can't swear to it). And I'm sad to learn Christopher Titus is hosting a game show based on Pawn Stars. Dude deserved to hit it big. Though a paycheck's a paycheck, so...

Ace Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 FUCKING FINALLY. And Goggins and Coates were indeed Queen and King sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Happy's happy face is hilarious, Juice is getting what he deserves, Mr. #2 DEFINITELY got what he deserved (maybe the most satisfying massacre of the entire show), Venus gets her man and the gears for all the shit finally hitting the fan are set in motion. That was a great episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm watching this now, but I love watching Walton Goggins act his ass off. He may be one of my favorite actors right now. Dude is going to win another Academy Award someday, this time for acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Great episode, but the kid who plays Abel is just awful as far as child actors go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I don't disagree about Love. She's always been a good actress, just generally a mess as a humn being for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Great episode, but the kid who plays Abel is just awful as far as child actors go. My thoughts exactly. I feel like when I was Abel's age, I was talking way faster. Abel's delivery for everything takes forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The delivery is due to Abel being a very troubled youth. We are not talking about a child that is growing up in a normal, happy environment. He is internalizing a lot of stuff and has been through a lot of stuff in his short life. It is not surprising that he is having problems and very confused as to what is right or wrong. What has to be going through his mind to make him smuggle a fork to school and cut himself in the bathroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 That child actor playing Abel has always been Iike this. He isn't playing the character any differently than he did before. Yeah, the kid has got to be so screwed up right now it is not funny. He was pulled away from Wendy and put with Tara, kidnapped and taken to Northern Ireland, sold to a rich family, returned to the US, found out his 2nd mom died and was killed by his grandmother. Kid has been through a lot and he is doing a great job for what would be a really messed up kid internalizing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I don't understand why that makes him enunciate 'the' as thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhe and every other word in a similar manner. I get that he's troubled and has grown up with a super messed up life, but I don't understand why that causes his speech to be so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I've kinda assumed he has some learning disability exacerbated by his dysfunctional upbringing. Neither parent seems/seemed all that bright, after all. Kid went fishing in a shallow gene pool, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how Abel always has been since that kid started playing him a couple seasons ago. I could buy your explanation too regarding how messed up Abel's life has been (born to a druggie, abducted, witness to multiple acts of violence, etc.), but they never even reference any impact the drugs or being abducted may have had on Abel, which I feel like was a HUGE missed opportunity. It's fairly clear before each take he's just repeating one single line said to him. Like, "Ok, now say this..." hit record, stop, "now say this..." hit record, stop, etc. He was bad on Mad Men too. He also has this habit of looking off screen towards the director. I'm guessing Sutter or whoever is directing just wants to get those scenes over with quickly. It's a child actor, so it isn't going to be that great, but he's nearly as bad as the kid who played Harrison on Dexter. Each had this feel of being shoved in front of the camera and they're both so awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 At least Abel hasn't gone for a run on the treadmill and then predictably tripped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubtingELDANDY Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Watching the after show, I thought I heard Sutter refer to twins that play Abel. He also had no idea what their first names were. Robocop probably does though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigertooth Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Wasn't Abel the one who was in utero when Wendy was using drugs? And he had a major heart flaw or something? Seems like he might have been a bit off even without the craziness in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
