I think it's a film that tries to have it both ways as semi-hawkish liberals always like to have it both ways. A couple pained expressions here or there and we get to torture and feel morally superior, everyone wins. Except the torture victims.

"Ken Burns does it again!"

He's a white guy with a jawline, I dunno. Nerds are weird little assholes sometimes.

In his origin story, we'll find out he learned the word "Aww" as an infant. Seasons 2 and 3 will be about how he acquired "Hell," and "Naw."

Who do you think the spinoff's rich main character will be? My money is on pink hat background lady or utility off-the-bench black guy.

"Neo-nazi's with a small country's worth of artillery? Pish posh boys we're going after a chemistry teacher with terminal cancer!"

Oooh, shit, I like this. Maybe Jesse recreates a chemical reaction (like in the pilot?) he saw his old teacher do?

Eh, last week I was certain Jesse was a dead man, but you don't have him get that last second call from the governor only to kill him two episodes later. Jesse lives (albeit through some horrible, horrible shit), which likely means he's the one who kills Walt.

"Hey guys during this phone call scene, just a reminder I'm an Godlike actor so try not to get blinded by my sheer fucking brilliance." -Bryan Cranston before that take, presumably

"He" being Vince Gilligan and "ten minutes ago" being the episodic time from when Hank made his death call to Marie.

Yup, I think they come from an acting family.

It always felt like a song that more belongs in Low's catalogue than Rihanna's.

Yeah I mean obviously there needs to be some contextual reference even for new episodes (e.g., "In the scene in which Walt tells Jesse he needs to believe him, he's really saying blah blah blah no subtextual spoilers), but I can't see the point in much more than that.

To be fair, you're wildly overestimating the extent to which the average person even thinks of a television critic. For the kind of audience Dads is going for, television isn't something that's "good" or "bad," it's "on" or "off." I mean Two and Half Men might be the most watched show, but when's the last time you…

With this ought to come a firmer grasp on what the episodic reviews are and who they're for. It sounds like we understand them to be post viewing analysis/what we enjoyed/what we didn't for an audience that has already watched it (as opposed to film reviewers which are telling the audience if they should watch it).…

I like to think they just kept bumping his show later and later into the night they realized one day he wound up on The Today Show.

She's leaving to team up on a discount mustard/salad topping venture.

@avclub-f16faf5d680d7b88e2e157c1c137c497:disqus I wouldn't dismiss the theory out of hand, but the most pervasive line on Darby from those that knew him was that once he stopped getting his ego fed from his fellow activists he needed a fix from somewhere else and by all accounts snitched of his own free volition. His…

Probably for the best, you might have learned that casual pop culture definitions of broad, centuries old political philosophies aren't exactly accurate.
