You can't strangle someone with their clip on tie. Well, not as easily as if it were a normal tie, in any case.

Other mobsters will presumably be eyeballing all that newly-freed up territory, as well.

You've got to read this comment in Russian.

More LaGuerta blowjob stories works for me.

You didn't actually see 'the enemy' in this episode at any point. The guys with the soccer ball were Afghani nationals, meaning they were 'good guys' from Afghanistan being trained by U.S. troops as soldiers; the family at the end were just a normal Afghani family.

Love the show, but this episode was so dire, I'd say it drags the second season as a whole down. Much of "Ducklings" was poorly edited, poor paced - at times, the show has the feel of a student film, but never so much as here: the country singer's songs seemed interminable, the sentimentality was crass and…

If you accept that Gus has bugged Jesse, and has known about the ricin all along, then conceivably the cigarette could have been switched by Tyrus in the lab at any time after it was placed in the pack. It's not as though Jesse kept taking the vial out and sticking it in a new cigarette, he just identified it as being…

Yeah. I hate to say it, but Gus not walking to the car and staring all over the place was the first time in the show's run I haven't bought the character's actions. It was just too much. I almost expected him to start sniffing the air or something.

I keep wondering why they haven't combined the ricin and DMSO and wiped some of that stuff on Gus' car door handle. Or maybe that wouldn't actually work? Can it be absorbed through the skin?

He didn't need that kind of shit in his life.

Since 3D is back, why not bring back mondo movies as well? And then combine the two and have 3D mondo movies? Taboos from dark corners of the globe popping out of the silver screen and into your theatre! Or something like Koyaanisqatsi, a little more purely visual, episodic in nature, cinematic - just let the brain…

I still have my glasses from Treasure of The Four Crowns. I think they were left over from Jaws 3D b/c they have a picture of a shark fin in the water on one side.

I wondered if Gus were trying to provoke a stroke or heart attack in Tio by these antagonistic rest home visits, and, having failed yet again to do so, that is what he meant by, "not today".

Mayhap young Walt Jr. might walk in on Dad and/or Mom killing Ted? That would be pretty awkward.

Remember that martial arts movies originated out of theatre and acrobatics; when you see a fight in a Shaw Brothers film, it's more like a choreographed dance sequence than the kind of grappling and haymakers you see in MMA. I say this as a big fan of Shaw Bros. movies.

I've assumed all this time that Gus' past in Chile probably involved the military and some sort of black ops or certainly torture in his background. Now, after that flashback, Fring's rather soft demeanor, and the line "I know who you are", I'm wondering if he might 'simply' be from an important and/or wealthy family?

Actually, in thinking it over, we did briefly see Gus in Gale's apartment last season. I believe he was there to ask Gale about taking over the cook from Walt.

Gus' fingerprints on the telescope in Gale's apartment prove there's a connection between the two men, not necessarily that Gus was in Gale's apartment (though he may have been).

Gus' fingerprints weren't on the napkin. They were on a telescope in Gale's apartment and the cup that Hank bagged at the restaurant.

Presumably, Gus doesn't want to send Walter over the edge and cause him to have some kind of violent outburst or breakdown (something Walter's been threatening to do all season). I'd imagine that the murder of the three women, and Walter's knowledge that he was responsible for their deaths, is just the sort of thing…
