Nah, I thought it was perfect. Then again, I've always had a fondness in my heart for late 70's guitar rock.

I am really confused about what the reviewer is looking for in this show. I totally agree with her about being interested in the world the show had created over the first half of the season. But last week she gives a B+ to an episode that completely veered away from that world and all the marginal yet interesting…

I don't know, I thought the last season of the The Shield was possibly its best. It actually reminded me of the way this half season of Breaking Bad is turning out, with the progressively escalating tension, shocking, disturbing violence, and that feeling of the noose being gradually tightened around the main…

It was awful, I've been having trouble getting that scene out of my head today.

You've drawing some real questionable moral equivalences in that last paragraph. In what way is Marie hypocritical? Because of the shoplifting thing? She just lost her husband in the last episode, and you want her to suffer more in the finale? As far as Skyler, I think the show has already addressed her complicity in…

I mean, she hasn't been seen much in recent seasons, and I suppose her character could have been fleshed out a bit more, but she had more than "that one scene." I genuinely liked her and Jesse's subplot.

Absolutely, her senseless death was tragic in and of itself, apart from its effect on Jesse.

I always kind of giggle at the scenes in which characters sit back to back in restaurants and try to carry on a furtive conversation. I can think of a million settings in which they could have had that conversation (for example, just sitting across from each other at the same table), each of which would have seemed…

For me, your BB analogy seems to rest to some extent on the assumption that having an affair with another guy's wife (who, as the show implied, was not in a particularly good marriage) is as morally problematic as manufacturing a highly addictive drug that has ravaged communities. A debatable argument, but not one I…

Well, I largely agree with your thoughts on The Bridge, and I say, go ahead and give B.E. a try! (Honestly, though, while it's not a perfect show, I don't really understand eddie adams's comparison between the shows, which are really nothing alike. B.E. has had some uninteresting storylines and characters over its…

"But there is a kernel of truth in his assertion that Marco put himself in this position."

Completely agree with your second paragraph. Surprised to see such a high rating and largely positive comments, considering that more than a few people started groaning about the super serial killer plot a couple of weeks ago, and this episode was EXCLUSIVELY about that that. Except for that opening…which, like you, I…

"Mom????  Yeah she got out of her death bed and crawled out of her grave where you buried her but yeah that's your Mom" Well, to be fair, she's in a town that was cut off from the rest of the world by a dome that can repel nuclear weapons and that apparently doesn't conform to the laws of physics as humans understand…

Also, what was Julia's response? Something like, "And if we fail, everything is finished" or something like that? Just such a bizarre and unrealistic reply in that situation.

Please tell me that line wasn't in the King book…

He had that one scene in diner a while back, where he helped Angie against Junior. At that point, after finally giving him something interesting to do that didn't conform to long-haired skater stereotype, the writers just made him vanish for the next few weeks.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, as I don't exactly devote 100% of my attention to this show when I watch it, but wasn't there a brief moment at the beginning of the series when she was a relatively interesting character and not a complete idiot?

Sounds like you have an awesome English teacher, to give you opportunity to earn some extra credit by writing about Breaking Bad!

True, it's probably bad to read TOO much into whom people root for in a fictional story. But I think it's fair to make some inferences about somebody's value system if they gleefully cheer on the Walter Whites, Tony Sopranos, Vic Mackey's of the television world until the bitter end.

I didn't get that sense at all. Whenever they showed him during others' sets, he seemed to be having a good time and sincerely laughing at the jokes they made about him. I think he was just joking that, if you're gonna do Indian jokes, at least come up with new ones.
