Of course man, that goes without saying. But the less screentime Gervais has the more we get of Pilkington

Do you really think that he's playing a character though? The cynical side of me leans towards that too, but then again no one could be that set in their ways and be as blissfully ignorant as Karl is. I really do believe that is his true personality coming through though, maybe slightly exaggerated but I think that what we see is definitely what we get

Anyway, I just watched the first episode and we're off to a flier

"Warwick's running around like he's a proper actor, what has he ever done? He was dressing up as a little bear in Star Wars, a little Green Goblin in something else. Someone shouted Willow at him the other day, I don't know what he was in that..."

LOL

It's equal parts Karl Pilkington the man and Karl Pilkington playing the straight man for Gervais, Merchant and the viewers amusement.

There's a consistent cleverness to Karl's idiocy that practically screams intentional. That it's as deft and non-obtrusive as it is is just a testament to his brilliance as a comic character.

Its crazy to think we are already at the mid season finale of The Walking Dead. It's return can't happen soon enough! TOmorrow's episode should be great!

Finally watched the full 2nd season of Game of thrones.The second season is way much better than the first one.You gotta love Peter Dinklage,he's the best thing in GOT.Finally we saw some action great battle scenes and a promising end that will mix up the things in the coming season.Also Lena Heady is so good on her role.She's so evil
