Or, y'know, Tailpipe Terror IV: The Dragoning, starring a masked man only identified as "R.W."

She's definitely a neurotic mess. But I think she's actually perfectly capable and ruthless at the same time. She gets things done, in the end.

Gus's last name is actually "Fring".

Except you know they would be mortified of actual firearms or the though of killing somebody. Badger especially. The fun thing about them is how they are really fairly regular people at heart.

I'd say the former is a result of the latter...

Pretty amazing how Hank's death was so touching even though in the beginning he was set up as the biggest blowhard douche. He was everything I hate in a man in the beginning.

My #1 survivor bet is on Lydia. Not that I particularly want her to live - her combination of absolute lack of any morality and enormous cowardice and self-delusion when it comes to facing up to that fact makes her much more repulsive to me than say, Tuco was. Tuco was an insane psychopath, but at least he knew it.

I agree that the character is a massive waste of potential, but it seems like Gilligan just could not think of anything interesting to do with him. Or maybe that was just his way of commenting on how massively disconnected many teenagers today are from the shit happening all around them.

I really don't get that. He is an annoying, oblivious White American Teenager (tm), but how is that something that deserves the death penalty?

To me one of the greatest surprises of the show was how Hank's death affected me. He was initially set up to be everything I hate in a man, and then over the course of the show he changed so profoundly from blowhard to actual decent guy I just grew so fond of him.

I think Walt Jr. is absolutely brilliant as a portrait of your average white male middle-class youth. Sure, he's mildly disabled, but that's really just to prop up Walt as more of a family man. He's insecure, oblivious and has an extreme need for things to be harmonious and for everyone to get along.

"If being a decent person gets me nothing, why should I do it?" - all white people ever.

YES. Why is this so hard to get? Do not be an "ally". It's the right thing to do, no JOKE.

So what though? It shouldn't matter if you put yourself in dangerous situations - if something happens to you, it's still the fault of the perpetrator.

Ugh, that show. Not only is it sexist, all the leading characters are just so poorly written and flat. And the worthwhile characters (like the radio station's engineer) get almost no screen time.

I think Dean Norris (Big Jim) took the role mostly because after like 20 years of type-cast bit parts (he was already the aggressive authority guy in an early 90s X-Files episode), he's sort of desperate to turn his newfound fame from Breaking Bad into as many leading roles as he can - before it slips away.

The song title displayed in the shot of the onboard entertainment system's audio menu is "Selling the Drama" by Live - which is fitting because Live is sort of the musical equivalent of Motorweek.

Ok, but still. She has made it emintently clear that she does not want to be the lightning rod for a discussion about racism - and we should respect that.

You realize of course that doubting what she says is horribly racist in itself? It's like how people just have to keep questioning Beyoncé saying she did not get a weave and her her is naturally like it is?

I meant retro as in retro - a modern design that mimicks an old design. That's something different than a classic or vintage design.
