I don't know why I love the name "Captain Beach House" so much, but I do.   It's absurd, but also feels like an authentic name a lazy kid would come up with.

It's so bizarre that it only makes sense as a plot device to be used to reveal to the audience who gets the money in one of the final shots of the series.

Attention deflecting.

Wha.. wait.. You thought that was actually them? 

Not that it's likely to matter at this point, but I think Hank's reaction to the surveillance video was meant to be seen as more squinty and indecisive, rather than a reaction that would indicate that  "the grainy figures now clearly resolve into Walt and Jesse".

That's better than the original title, "New Private Window".

If you enjoyed the AV Club podcast you'd probably like The Dissolve's podcast.  It's essentially the same group of people.

That backyard ball and string toss game looked super depressing.  Do people really play that?

I think it may have been, some of the shots including the 3 figures standing outside were strikingly similar.  Then again, I happened to notice the production date on the episode in the credits is 2012.  Maybe the epilogue to the end of the season was produced later then the rest of the episode.  It did play after the

I don't think Wright will actually be the villain on Boardwalk.  A pre civil rights black person who goes up against a group of white people who is portrayed as mostly evil?  Not on American TV or cinema.  He'll be at least as sympathetic or likable as Omar on the Wire.

Not for me.  They are like too entirely different people.  Only they look rather similar physically and have the same tone to their voice.

The never ending growth of reality TV has been the downfall of this show for me.  I don't care to see atrocious actors reading reading poorly written dialogue made fun of unless they were trying to make something good and failed.  No one involved in the production of reality TV gives a fuck about the content beyond

Yeaaaah Buddy!  I could go for some of that.  *wink wink*  *nudge nudge*

The more isolated / empty a parking lot is, the more likely you are to be caught by police for being drunk in a car.  The is the stupid person's cross to bear.

I would guess it probably premiered rather late in the process of getting this article together.  But it's definitely in my top 5 along with Mad Men, GoT, Venture Bros. and The Americans.

The way they shoot Figeuroa is odd to me.   Perhaps half of her scenes begin with a long, slow pan up her legs.  At first, it felt like they were trying to oversell the notion of her sexiness to me.  I had a theory that someone involved in the creation of the show was in love with her or trying to make her a star. 

"hardly anybody who lives in the real world watching"

I just rewatched the relative scenes, as on can do so easily with Netflix, and I can't see how the discrepancy between 5 and 8 years can be anything but a continuity goof.  They are definitely talking about the same event of, "when they last saw each other". 

I think I could make it in a short stay minimum security federal women's facility as well.  At least if it's anything like the Netflix version.

I suppose I can buy that.  The high temperature today in San Diego is several degrees below what I can afford to run my air conditioner at in Texas.
