The one that I really can’t stand is “fustrated” for “frustrated”. So many people say that and it just kills me

My wild guess was that this version of Rusty was someone who only knew Malcom/the Monarch from college, from before he was the Monarch

No it didn’t. It was very bad despite the great talents involved.

People can speak more than one language but there’s absolutely no reason for someone to speak English with a perfectly flat midwestern American accent if they hadn’t lived there for some significant period of time. Whether it’s technically a retcon or not I’m glad the writers added this detail to make things make a

Whatever the reason I thought it worked better that the Johnny Quest stuff wasn’t exactly like Johnny Quest. I like it when the reference is a little skewed from the original

I find it strange that he would’ve been so recently laid by high quality super-convincing VR and it made him more desperate for sex than usual

Yeah I loved that. Really hilarious and unexpected. Also, you could argue that Guardian Angels are one of the real life examples of costumed vigilantes so it’s appropriate that they’d attract a super villain.

Yes. I get that with his “one per” pitch Jimmy is essentially promoting (or maybe even inventing?) the now well known idea of the burner phone. But if you want a burner phone or phones you don’t have to buy from Jimmy at what I assume is a high markup. You could just by a cheap pre-paid cell phone anywhere. Or, if you

I couldn’t agree more with this comment. I like Better Call Saul quite a bit but this overpraising of the show and saying it’s better than Breaking Bad was is really getting ridiculous. I think people are forgetting just how mind blowing it was watching Breaking Bad as it unfolded. It managed a nearly unbroken

Why do billionaires like the KOch brothers and Robert Mercer buy up and create publications and think tanks and universities and spend millions bribing politicians instead of just being happy with what they have?

I thought the point was it was supposed to be comical how he was bringing all those cell phones in through a functioning open business. I didn’t really find it funny though

Yeah it’s getting to the point where Odenkirk playing Jimmy in 1993 doesn’t work anymore

Yeah other real life examples of all male or practically all male work situations like mining towns etc. involve lots of sex workers etc. as well as all kinds of horrible crimes against women. It’s a subject Breaking Bad and BCS completley avoid

Yes it was unbleeped. Unbleeped “fucks” are becoming more and more common on “basic cable” drams. I’m not neven sure what the rules are anymore.

I’m in the rare for me position of agreeing almost completely with Donna in all the details of her review. There were some brilliant scenes/moments but this was a weird, oddly paced talky episode. I completely agree that Gus’s monologue to a comatose Hector was the extremely rare BCS scene that didn’t really work on

I’m not talking about the grades. I’m talking about the actual content of the reviews. I feel like every review has lots of references to how we’ve seen the show do this before and a general tone where he begrudingly admits the episode was good but still has to talk about how the show’s been on a long time and

Wow what a crazy creative concept for a show. Just so outlandish and unlike reality it’s a real mindfuck. I’m talking about the show about the good cop here of course.

Yeah it feels like a long time since we’ve seen the violent/dangerous side of Brock, which used to be the main defining aspect of the character. I don’t understand the hand-wringing about it

I disagree with your superlatives but this was a very very good episode and Wack Handlin’s tiresome sour take on VB, a show he obviously grew tired of years ago, has been an annoyance for a long time. I really wish he’d have the good graces to quit from the beat and allow someone who hasn’t completely given up on the

Except it was the version of the song from “Sharky’s Machine” not “Jackie Brown”
