Do I belong in the "Crazy Conspiracy Corner" for thinking that perhaps Saul has had enough of Walt telling him to take a hike, and threatening to send him to Belize? Would the "Dissapearer" really care if Jesse has dope on him? Suppose Saul is playing Jesse and Walt off each other just so he can finally get out of the

I am in love with this episode so hard. Here's the thing: in terms of comedy writing, it's pretty much what you'd expect of your average late period Futurama, with a couple jokes just falling dead. But what makes it awesome is how it takes a very sitcom-y setup, and does it with all the signature Futurama elements.

Making portmanteaus? That's a paddlin'

As far as graceful exposition goes, that was a 10.0 gymnastic routine compared to Norrie being all like "I wish my mom could help us find this egg, even though we never involved her in this stuff, and she's dead, and I'm sad that she is dead."

You know what: I actually thought this was the best episode since the pilot. I think I've finally embraced the show's brand of crazy, and Zea was the catalyst for that. Her sudden appearance is completely fucking stupid, and her character makes no sense, but goddamit if I wasn't having fun watching her pingpong

Cue the clods celebrating Skylar getting slapped like it's all they've ever wanted to see in life, while also complaining this episode didn't have anything happen in it.

Sorry Barbie, but when someone's just threatened you, replying "there's two sides to that coin, Jim," is no "tread lightly."

Different sites have different userbases, allowing for different opinions to come out. In retrospect, it was probably stupid to not use the same username across outlets, and was probably even dumber to not expect an overlap between AVClub and HitFix commetariat. Maybe a change of GuestID is in order next time (the

I had a dream last night that Donna gave the season premiere a "B". I remember dreading what the comment section was going to have to say, because dissenting opinions in the sphere of popular culture tend to be shouted down, even though engaging with criticisms on their level only strengthens your case for

It was no "The Negron Complex," but Badger's spec script had potential.

Very solid, if relatively subdued premiere that served as a nice moment of reflection on the story thus far, and why it’s the right time to bring it to an end. The hour was littered with shoutouts to old character dynamics and show iconography, my favorite of the latter being during the cold open, which had three

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it

"Yes I would, Kent."

Man, where is the Hank Hill novelty account when you need someone to chide the show for its unrealistic portrayal of propane, and propane accessories?

The shooutout between Linda and Stupid Rapist Redneck Kid (not to be confused with just Stupid Redneck Kid) was one of the most hilariously inept action scenes I've witnessed in ages. The kid basically stumbles out from behind cover, and spastically fires off rounds like a drunk trying to give directions after taking

I wouldn't say Norrie comes running out of the house. She more lightly jogs, as you do when grieving the loss of your biological mother.

"If the dome is like an atom, then there must be a nucleus!"

I wouldn't want to even imagine the stress that comes with reviewing Breaking Bad every week (God speed, @DonnaBowman, though you've done great so far). Whereas the original AMC flagship show is impossible to review wrong, what with how interpretive and intentionally amorphous it is, I think it's very easy to produce

It only just occurred to me that ABC's trademark of the name Shark Tank means we're never going to get a Syfy movie about a shark that is also a tank. What could have been…

That's totally true, and honestly, if a sequel gets greenlit with Del Toro at the helm, I will lose my mind out of sheer joy. I think maybe I'm just trying to insulate myself early in the event that A) the sequel doesn't actually happen, or B) it does, and blows Kaiju shit.
