There's something about linguistic violence that's so, so disturbing. Also, while I really liked how they ended that scene with Wellick (as I mentioned above), until then it was not unlike many other deaths we've seen on television, which may be a sad comment on how often TV goes to the well, but is also undeniable.

It's just ethical practice to link to the site that led us to the original story, is all.

Agreed—that FIRST film's soundtrack was indeed better than its source…

You are correct! To wit: You are strongly encouraged to never listen to the music for any of the sequels. If you think the movies are a series of diminishing returns, definitely don't go anywhere near the later soundtracks.

Poor, poor Riley. He was saddled with the impossible task of being not-Angel. But he has some KILLER lines. I will never not laugh at his comment when they're walking through the dump in season five: "People say they're recycling. They're not recycling."

Aw, agree to disagree, Harvey. Come on, Willow's talk with Parker is tops.

You should clarify which part of Brooklyn. Where I lived, in Park Slope, this would be a losing game.

I AM LIKING WHAT YOU ARE COOKING

Speaking as an official part of The A.V. Club, I thought Red State was just aces.

Okay, that does seem like compelling evidence. (Esp. the signature from the painting on the Wiki page.) But….this is the internet. How come we can't find decisive proof yet?
Still, ten points for you, nknotz.

I think there's a combination of these reasons going on. Above all, though, I think he now sees Elliot as someone who could be of use again in the future. After all, he knows that Elliot still has Angela, meaning he could still be an exploit.

Definitely doesn't hurt.

Agreed. The way they've shown the layers of insecurity and stress in Wellick's character has been phenomenal, and richly textured.

I think Vera sees Elliot as a potential future exploit.

Oh my god, thank you for introducing me to this. The best.

To preempt further back-and-forth about the subject, I'd figured I would leave this here: Jesse cooked meth in the house BEFORE it was his. It still belonged to his parents when Walt and he set up shop there during season one. But once it belonged to him? Forget it, Jake, it's Pinkmantown. Still, I love the additional…

He sure did—but not when he was the owner! They cook there during season one, but Jesse doesn't buy it until much later. Hence the "his own home" stress, because he totally cooked meth there when it belonged to his parents.

Guys, guys—he bought the house AFTER the cook! Hence the stressing that he would never cook in a house he had purchased. But I am loving the attention to detail.

Aw, poor Prince house.

I'd accept that as well. It still beats the "Mac-OW-wan" that seems to be the rest of the world's default setting.
