I agree about Breaking Bad and it'll be interesting to see if the same happens with Better Call Saul. I already feel like re-watching the two seasons as the whole concept of the show is that we know the ending.

Spooks (known as MI-5 in the US) did the same thing at almost the same time. A main character is killed by a deep fat fryer in episode 2. This was in May 2002, so same time but written months before I'd guess.

Yep, I don't mind the review as much as others but during the scene between Ford and Dolores I was wondering what a Polite Fight would make of it. As the scene went on, the camera got a lot closer to their faces and there was some interesting back and forth that I'd like to see broken down.

There's also now people who post videos of themselves reacting to other YouTube videos such as Honest Trailers.

His rant about Angels & Demons was so good it woke someone up from a coma. Sounds like a joke, but its one of the show's running bits that they refer to every time a new Ron Howard film comes out.

When they stated that the winner would be whoever held the plaque at sunrise I was convinced that Ken Marino's character was going to somehow find the plaque as he started his shift (I guess he still works there) and they'd have to name him an 'amazing detective/genius'

I thought that was a great line reading from the kid as well. You definitely got the sense that Jake was an almost mythical figure to him. Hopefully he'll turn up in more episodes but with Mary Lynn Rajskub this time.

Also, I believe it was around the time of the Scottish independence debate when Brown returned to frontline politics after staying out of the spotlight for a couple of years prompting the line from Blessed of "Gordon's Alive!"

There's an article in this fortnight's Private Eye with a headline along the lines of "Trump thanks leader of Pneumonia for their assistance"

I also loved the first season and thought every season went downhill after that. However, I was about 12 at the time and it was the first 'adult' show that I watched. I kind of want to go back and see if it holds up but that may ruin my memory of it.

I was looking for an article on this just the other week. I kinda want to see what the show and characters are like before the crossover with Brooklyn 99 but don't want to wade through 5 seasons.
Sounds like Winston may get on well with Boyle, but I can't see how the other interactions will work yet.

Hey thanks for all this analysis. I don't post much but I appreciate the work that has gone into it.
One question: you seem pretty down on Brooklyn 99's performance this year. Is their a chance this could be it's last year?

It seems like someone who works there actually cares about traditional journalism. They've done some good investigative work with the BBC Panorama programme in the UK.

That's funny as though I know its use in Pulp Fiction, I always associate Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon with a certain scene in the first season of Misfits that 14 year old me watched several times.

Or for having a face that looks like a fist.

Manderly pie-making

And no Dorne for even even longer!

I think the lack of Bronn is due to bad blood between Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey. Supposedly they're kept apart all of the time and there's no scenes in KL without Cersei at the moment. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/…

I like that but my version sees him on the run and captured by the (name-dropped this episode) Manderlys. Jon and Sansa pursue his trail to White Harbour and demand Manderly to show them where Ramsay is. Manderly offers up a slice of pie.
Spontaneous laughter, 'that's our Wyman', jaunty music, end credits.

You're probably right, although the show isn't afraid of taking narrative shortcuts as well as literal ones.
