…along with him choking Todd out. I was up off the couch with my hands in the air repeating something along the lines of, "Yes! Choke that motherfucker! Fucking choke him out!" Granted, I was whispering this because the kids were in bed, but still, it was intense.

I had a similar feeling about it (though without the disappointment). It was partly necessary for them to span a month or two without having to show too much. They did a similar time span coverage thing in "Gliding Over All." But what I liked about this episode spending so much time with Walt was that ever since the…

Greatness. Also, the low shot backing away from the Whites' bedroom in the cold open to "Rabid Dog" was just intense. I re-watched that whole scene just to see that shot and even knowing nothing was going to happen, I was holding my breath.

@morley:disqus Good point. And having his name attached will get it some attention.

@WTFkid:disqus Didn't know that. That is promising.

Today's tragic news of Vince Gilligan doing a network cop drama (on fucking CBS), paired with yesterday's tragic news of Aaron Paul playing the leading man in one of these fast cars and 'splosions action movies (based on a fucking video game) has quickly deflated my high hopes for post Breaking Bad greatness from…

For what little it may be worth, I agree with Dante.

I have no idea who the ricin is intended for, but I'm willing to bet that if it kills anybody it will accidentally kill the wrong person.

@mattepntr:disqus  Bowen was also in Jackie Brown with…Robert Forster. Bowen owns Uncle Jack, literally disappears into the character. Had I not known it was him I don't know that I would have figured it out. I love all the various character actors and cameos the show has pulled in. I've enjoyed seeing a few character…

"and that shark-eyed creep Todd…" —@avclub-188934b799f9c866379dd96bc600a688:disqus

The portion of the story that the title comes from, with the vet, is the one thing I remember from Naked. It was as unpleasant as anything I've ever read, but it stuck. I totally agree that that Me Talk Pretty One Day is his best. I loved the whole thing, particularly "Jesus Shaves" and "You Can't Kill the Rooster."

I think Jesse will gas Todd and/or Uncle Jack. Two episodes ago, there was Jack telling Todd, "I'll worry about what I breathe," after Todd told him to keep his mask on. Then Emilio was brought up when Walt was frantically reminding Jesse of all the ways he'd protected him in the past. Then again, it may not mean…

I actually don't completely dislike him on Talking Dead, but he can be grating. My deal is this: there have been times where I have overheard something I love (book, movie, Breaking Bad, what-have-you) being discussed by either a bunch of assholes, or people who otherwise don't get it and shouldn't be discussing it.…

Okay, because I don't give one twat about Drake I was fully prepared to make fun of this until I saw the one of Drake Fring bear-hugging a dying Victor. I might have laughed a little.

Saulking Bad.

Yeah. If anybody was being a dick here, it was AMC. Making us wait a damn year for eight episodes was excessive. A more reasonable way to split it would have been last fall and spring.

*Sues A.V. Club for bullshit notifications.*

I'm right there with you. The "little poke coming through" line was not the least bit subtle. It was always good for a laugh, though.

Boner Songs is, incidentally, the title of Next's forthcoming greatest hits compilation.

So this article invited me here and then called me an asshole for showing up. Dick move, Article.
