Honestly, why doesn't Dave just make movies, or Louie-style auteur TV? Where there's no live audience to worry about, and where he has enough creative control that if there's something like a crewmember laughing in a way that makes him uncomfortable (like what happened on the show) he can actually do something about…

A bit surprised not to see more discussion of the Walt/Brock/Andrea scene. That was one of the most sickening things Walt's ever done. Every time he looked at or spoke to Brock I felt nauseous.

Point of confusion here: even if the desert arrest had gone exactly as Hank planned, why would he not fear Skyler would release the confession video? Is he banking on Gomey as a witness to discredit that video?

And just like that, with Walt taking care of his one seemingly unsolvable problem (Hank) with one of his most sickly brilliant masterstrokes ever, he now has to deal with one that is arguably even more dangerous. Jesse has absolutely nothing left to lose. There's nothing for Walt to threaten to call him off, as he did…

This is fine, but it could be by anyone. Not that everything she does has to be high-concept sci-fi business (in fact that would get super old) but the personality she emanates is what makes her such a great artist.

Thats Julie Benz :P

First of all, since it's being made by a black filmmaker, it is by definition not a White Guilt movie. Besides, the fact that meaningless Oscar-baity films have been made about certain topics doesn't mean that good films can't still be made about those same topics. Steve McQueen is one of the best directors out there…

God Andre Royo is the coolest. I wanna be best friends with him.

The thing is, mandating how people are and are not allowed to cope with awful things is an implicit condemnation of people who would prefer to cope by using television to escape from or reflect on the real world. People who don't want to be reminded of violence during times of tragedy have a coping method that is…

It's way too scary for us to accept that we CAN'T prevent people from doing awful things. Scapegoating allows us to have a simple, linear view of the causality of violence. The reality is much messier and more chaotic. And while certainly there are some things that can be done to reduce violence, singling out any one…

It should be noted, though, that were it not for spectacular work by emergency workers and volunteers, Boston could have been far, far worse than it ended up being.
