Yep.. this is just utterly brilliant, mesmerising, wildly unpredictable, brilliantly acted and shockingly good television, week after week after week.

I don't know that it's ever been mentioned before.. I hadn't noticed if it had. But yeah, I agree, 'Slough Street' was a cute touch.

I thought the 'Woof' Ryan uttered at the end of the Woof demonstration was perfectly done - it was definitely the funniest moment in an otherwise mostly rather dull episode.

I agree that this season is better than the first..
…I'm enjoying it more at any rate.

It's actually how all English and Australian people pronounce the word.

That 'bitch' he threw on at the end was beautifully done.. as was Walt's reaction shot. So many great 'little' moments in this show.

Yeah, but Fring doesn't trust addicts and I suspect he would be of the opinion that 'once an addict, always an addict.'

Don't say that, Pancakes! I want the cute lobster dog to be happy!

@Beauty: I know! I saw the collections on New York Magazine after they all showed at fashion week and Jay became my favourite then and there - his was by far the best of all ten of them, in my opinion.

As much as I hated this ending…
…I loved this line in the write-up:

Exactly! That's certainly the lesson I learned from this show. How very useful. And timely!

I was extremely upset by this finale
I have watched every episode of this show fron the very beginning. I have loved this show. And what does it get reduced to? The supposedly fatal conflict between motherhood and a career?? You have got to be kidding me. I have supported and defended this show and now I feel utterly…

Thanks (almost) everyone.. I appreciate it! I did look it up but I forgot to iclude the accents so freetranslation returned 'no but' and 'but' and I figured I was getting something wrong..

Obviously, I'm just a stupid Australian..
…but can someone - amyone! - please explain to me what 'no mas' and 'mas' means?

I love the flashbacks this season as a smart contrast to last season's flashforwards.. they reward the loyal viewer and you also have sufficient trust in the writers by now that you know that they're not going to reveal anything extraneous.

Joe's actions
You'd think that given Joe was so concerned about Danielle betraying the family, he had her murdered, that he'd be slightly more cautious about simply cutting off Winstone - who knows infinitely more than Danielle ever did.

I'm actually really loving this season..
…and I think it's way better than the second season. But apparently I'm pretty much alone in that view. Mind you, given the low ratings plus the imminent death of a major character, I'd be astonished if this show gets renewed for a fourth season. Pleasantly astonished but…

How do you know this?

And I'm yet another person agreeing that this episode was disappointing.. I actually really enjoyed last week's outing (an A- from me) but I'd give this one a C- I think. I love the show in general, though - and I especially love the characters of Jeff and Abed - so maybe I'm being a bit harsh cos my expectations are…

Nonsense, PancakeLad - I'm sure you're lovely!
