I don't get the order they employ in these articles.  TotY is an album for the ages.  They even indicate that in this article:

"So, you are unpaid prostitute; you are lower than dog"

I hate to disagree with myself.  I forgot that he rejected the opportunity to work for Grey Matter.  That kind of blows my whole hypothesis.

I sort of agree here.  Originally he clearly was doing it to provide a nestegg - he even calculated the exact amount to the nickel.  And every thing he did was exactly to that end, or to protect himself or those he cared about.
The only time he broke that pattern was in the first half of this split season, when he had…

Thing is, the Lydia-cafe scene precedes the Skyler scene.

What is "Rectify"?  Is that a House rip-off featuring a proctologist?

I think you left out the URL for a sneaker store.

I pieced this together (mostly out of my butt, and partly from memories of a couple of early episodes)
1. Walt and Eliot are brilliant chem buds.  Gretchen's Walt's old lady.
2. The three of them start a small biochem company
3. Walt dumps Gretchen impulsively, probably over a real or perceived slight.
4. Walt regrets it…

He kills Lydia because Lydia is a crazy lady who seems to have one solution to every problem (have everyone killed), and she looked Skyler straight in the eyes at the Car Wash (Walt saw this).

Is Rocky IV the one where Paulie falls in love with his robot maid?

When my kids were young, I tried to train them in snappy repartee.  I said, "Next time your about about to say goodbye to more than one of your friends, instead say 'See ya in the funny papers!'  And when a fellow schoolboy/girl is presenting outsized emotion in your direction, insist that they 'Save the drama for…

Just pay her farm a visit from time to time and have her kill some animals and people.

Well last season brought up all kinds of stakes with Gyp, and everybody moaned.  Maybe they should bring a serial killer in.  make it a woman.  Call her Hurricane Babs.  Is that what you want????????????????

Part of the problem with this show, and every other show ever, is Breaking Bad.  Almost every single episode of that show is so end-to-end compelling that it brings on the sensation of time compression.  An hour of Breaking Bad feels like 48 seconds.  An hour of everything else feels like, well, an hour.

Exactly - she's been out of the limelight for awhile, and was thus granted a fabulous gift: to age gracefully offscreen.  It is the over-exposed actresses who try to maintain the appearance of their heyday (melanie griffith, meg ryan), and unwittingly end up gargoyling themselves.

I also advocate for the clingy dresses of Alana.
