A friend of mine joked a while back that he wanted to see a sequel to Horrible Bosses where Bateman, Sudekis and Day became the newly promoted asshole bosses, then they have to deal with their put-upon employees' attempts on their own lives. Considering they appear to just be slotting Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine…

What this whole conversation sounds like to me:

Can we all take a moment to acknowledge Brian Geraghty absolutely hitting it out of the park as Agent Knox, particularly in this episode? He's filling the show's sadistic federal agent void wonderfully, and he and the writers are giving the character enough of a fresh spin to make sure it isn't a retread of Van Alden…

It's definitely a thin redemption. But it's nonetheless a pullback from where Walt was at the end of Ozymandias, which to me seemed unnecessary.

I agree with this pretty much 100%. There were a lot of things I liked about the finale, but ultimately I think the episode undermined a lot of what Breaking Bad has been saying all along about Walt on a character level and moral corruption on a thematic level. Gilligan let Walt go out on a largely successful note,…

It's weird that they seem to strain so hard to give Richard things to do, because the completely obvious path to take would have been to just absorb him into Nucky's crew. That moment last season when he walked Doyle into Nucky's office at gunpoint would have been the perfect moment to do it. I doubt it would have…

I wasn't as mad about Jeff Daniels winning than I thought I would be. I mean, The Newsroom is a piece of shit, this is a scientific fact, but Jeff Daniels has given some really great performances over the years that got no recognition whatsoever, from Terms of Endearment to Squid in the Whale. Even if it's wholly…

There is a difference between misunderstanding the purpose and disliking the execution. I'm not an idiot, I know what they were trying to attempt. I just feel in execution it didn't gel together very well.

I certainly wouldn't blame Forster for anything bad about that show, but he definitely sleepwalked through that role. However, considering he probably realized the series was completely beyond help the day he stepped on set, I think this is completely understandable.

I didn't think the opening score worked in that scene. I've always liked the opening score as a self-contained little bug to start of the episode, but when paired with the actual action of the show it seemed out of place.

Both Jesse Plemons and Laura Fraser are part of the main cast this season, though. If a guest star like Jessica Hecht's name shows up in the credits, you know she is going to appear on-screen in that episode.

I believe anybody who watched Heroes might beg to differ with your Robert Forster rule.

I just want them to somehow figure out a way to have Stephen Root and Jeffrey Wright share a scene and spew flowery language at each other.

Really? I thought that line was the weakest moment in the episode. Dean Norris sold it the best he could, but I've seen countless variations on the "Your the (superlative) man I ever met. But sometimes you're just so (opposite of superlative)" bit to the point that it feels way overdone.

With the American accent Daniel Radcliffe actually sounds a bit like Aaron Paul.

"Party Pit" by the Hold Steady gets my vote.

I want this. Coen brothers, TV networks: get together and hash this out.

That's actually pretty much what happened. The real-life counterpart to Bubbles wound up relapsing back into heroin addiction after his attempt to go sober, so ending Bubs' story where they did seems to be a deliberate act of gentleness.

True, though Pete has been a prime candidate for suicide throughout much of the show's run.

Also worth noting is that the timeline on Breaking Bad is only about a year long. Hank's obliviousness to Walt's drug empire is more understandable when you realize that Heisenberg has only existed for a relatively short period of time. Dexter, on the other hand, has been simultaneously working at Miami Metro PD and…
