I was thinking it sounds like a generic legal drama that wants to improve its pedigree by name-dropping a book that people have heard of because there was a movie.

Well, this is the country that thinks Elvis pioneered rock'n'roll, after all.

Funny story: twerking came on the scene in its current form pretty much exactly the same time Billy Ray Cyrus was popular. White people be solipsist-ing.

Can I have a new librul media? This one's broken.

Yeah, I mean, it's not as though they go out of their way to make clear that Walter has deliberately made Skyler terrified of leaving him, and it's not as though that's how abusive relationships work in real life too or anything.

Yep, Walt is so much smarter than everybody else that literally the only reason Hank kept looking for Heisenberg was that Walt couldn't bear to let him go on thinking Gale was him.

If we go by nothing but the first few episodes of the show (for whatever reason), there's ample reason to hate Jesse or Hank too, and yet nobody does. Weird.

Obviously misogyny's a big chunk of it, but there's also the fact that people with the attention spans of small children resent the show putting any focus on how Walt's business affects his personal relationships, despite that being one of the main themes of the show. They'd rather it just be "badass" set pieces like…

North Dakota's unusual in that they got Mossad agents before they got any Jews.

I guess the real question is, who'll run the town when Cobb becomes the 2016 GOP presidential nominee?

Jenna Maroney or GTFO.

American conservatism: "I got stupid. The money was too good."

That is also the title of my "Firefly"/"The Wire" slash, incidentally.

I always figured it'd be River, what with her side job writing Michele Bachmann's speeches.

It's so goddamn depressing that Jayne's a wingnut.

Which one is "oral?"

Say what you will, but I never would have made it through my senior year of high school without the security blanket that is George Bush singing "Sunday Bloody Sunday."

The "R" stands for "Roomba."

Strangely, I was already at peak dislike because of the whole "forcing a 15-year-old to self-mutilate" thing.

Because it's not inherently bitchy to not be a fan of PDA, and it's also kind of weird to imply that it's comparable to being a genocidal maniac?
