It’s always hilarious to be told you’re “what’s wrong with the world” when you’re just a random powerless internet commenter and there are actual evil people in hugely powerful positions that it would probably be a better use of your time getting mad at. Anyway, you’re using knowledge that you only have as a viewer of

I don’t remember too many ST:TNG episodes end with our heroes unable to stop a tragic thing from happening and just sort of watching it happen

I don’t have any sort of pro-gun agenda but I agree with you that it was nice that he tried using a rifle to fight the “demons” and it just happened and the Doctor didn’t go on yet another rant about how she hates guns. It was a quite natural reaction. The aliens really were horrifically scary looking and they had

I have nothing to bases this on really but I bet Odenkirk is a way better singer than Jimmy

He makes a lot of noise doing it. It must’ve been something about your headphones

I think you’re partially right but I also think there were earlier points in the sequence where Chuck was being a good brother to Jimmy. First of all, he did vouch for him to be a lawyer, even if not as warmly as the other people doing it. And he stayed at the drunken karaoke party for Jimmy even though it totally

Well the immediate reason the writers chose Omaha for the flash forwards would seem to be it’s something Saul said in one of the last few episodes of Breaking Bad *paraphrasing* “This is it. I’ll probably end up managing a Cinnabon in Omaha, three pairs of Dockers.” It was meant to be a random description of a lame,

Gale and Werner are similar in that they both are “regular guys” of a sort who think they can maintain being regular guys while also being major parts of a multi-million dollar criminal enterprise. But as I say above I still think Jesse killing Gale was more impactful for him than Gus killing Werner. Jesse was a

For me the cold open to this episode showed Chuck in an entirely differently light, and made him seem somewhat sympathetic to me for basically the first time. Despite the fact that he hogged the glory at karaoke he was pretty much being a decent brother to Jimmy the whole time After all he did vouch for him to be a

I definitely thought it was a riff to Jesse in the Breaking Bad season 3 Finale. But remember that it was still a far more traumatic experience for Jesse to kill Gale. Mike has killed people before, even if they were bad people like dirty cops etc. Jesse had never killed anyone up to that point and he was being forced

For me, though this episode was strange and flawed, it was the closest to an out and out good episode so far this season. It set up a genuinely tense situation with a formidable, memorable, and fairly original adversary while at the same time having some good emotional moments and character development. It is strange

She looks like human garbage but somehow she’s good at singing! Amazing.

I think they said Law & Order specifically not SVU

Sicko lib JOnah Hill now a 5 timer. Sad. Lorne Michaels begged me to save SNL for him. Glad I said no (job doesn’t pay enough) They call this a B + worthy show? Pathetic. Check the overnights! (bad ratings)

This is a good review that mirrors most of my thoughts. On the other stuff I, like Perkins, am just a sucker for that Jonah Hill recurring character so I liked that. I also love Big Papi so . . .I thought the pugs thing was good in the 10 to 1 slot. The commercial for the bad play was funny even though SNL’s done

You sound like a really funny guy whose opinions about what’s funny I’d definitely trust

Siiiigh Okay here goes: For the “live” sketches since the whole process of doing the show happens in such a short span of time (and because for some reason Lorne MIchaels is known to make changes up to the last minute) it’s not feasible for the actors to memorize their lines and they have to read them off of cue

Actually he’s not

I don’t get this review. I thought this was one of the better episodes of Season 3. The show has gotten to the point where it can try different character combos and pairings and that’s a good thing. The review seems to think that not having the full ensemble together at all times is innately bad. This was just a
