I think Better Call Saul and The Americans are both art in different ways. Better Call Saul is a very "directed" show, and I mean that as a compliment. They do flashy cuts, and POV shots, and cool montages, but it's also really subtly written and acted. The Americans is much more lower key stylistically. It just sort…

He was way to old in AVTAK. Just comes across as a sleaze.

A+ James Horner score, too.

Nuts.

God Todd was a nutjob. I mean Lydia was a fruitloop but I loved her for it. Todd was a dead-eyed psycho.

The farm? Not the farm in Belize!

Oi! I'm an Aussie. I was just preaching to the choir.

That's in Pounds. So it's more like USD$24k.

**Spoilers for Breaking Bad, I guess**

I loved Lydia too! Be interested to see if this is a one off world-building cameo (I'm ok with that), or if she actually shows up again.

Pretty sure they're working on five and will pick the one or two best.

Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut is a completely different film - and brilliant. It's only real flaw is Orlando Bland.

Agreed with this. Franke Potente also really helps ground it. I love all 3, but the first one has more soul.

Disagree about Rogue One, mainly because the script was better. Godzilla had some amazing visuals, and not much else.

No? P&R kept it together. Bit of a slump in 5 and 6, superb rebound in 7.

They're not writing it or showrunning it. They're tired and done with it.

I thought Hank could show up but I imagine that'd leave that for later (if at all). There's already been an overload (or just-the-right load) or BB alumni showing up this year.

I think Gilligan was pretty clear that he likes a few unanswered questions, and that was going to be one of them. Maybe he and Gould have changed their minds, but I doubt it.

The West Wing is the peak of his TV ouput. Crap on Studio 60 and The Newsroom all you want, but stay away from the WW and my CJ.

This episode was great as usual, but yeah it's a bit dull. I'm pretty confident this is the calm before the storm though. I'm guessing things will ramp up towards the end as they set up the final year.
