I thought Ewan was better than Freeman with the accent, even making it a little more pronounced for Ray than Emmit.

My boyfriend went out for a run during the opening scene all in German and came back in the middle of the throat singing scene. I think he thinks I'm crazy.

Last thing, I promise: It's great that you're still enjoying the Mike stuff. I just don't find his character that interesting, and it's clear that the show's writers and directors have to really bust their asses to make what he does look interesting via those "stylish" methodical scenes.

We just say billionaire.

How about a nice middle ground between "a quick half episode" and "two entire episodes of Mike in his car glowering at a dot on a screen"?

Was I whining? I thought I was watching a show I really like with a critical eye.

Episodes of House of Cards are titled "Chapter 1," "Chapter 2" and so on, which only drives your point home further.

But "Fly" had so much impact because it was such a departure from the usual Breaking Bad pace. Remember how much happened in the first season—hell, the first episode? And "Fly" included major character development milestones. This was just 20 minutes of Mike doing the same thing he was doing last week.

Yeah, I wouldn't assume that Jimmy changes his name because he's somehow forced to. Jimmy/Saul is all about showmanship, and it's been well established how comfortable he is assuming a pseudonym ("Viktor with a K"). Maybe he changes the name because he wants to start fresh after this whole thing with Chuck/HHM/Kim…

I've been bored by the Mike storyline since Better Call Saul started, except when he has a scene with Jimmy. People love "Five-O" but it's my least favorite episode and the only one I skipped on rewatch.

He did—there was a shot of him in front of the giant American flag. ("A lawyer you can trust!")

"Hamburgers for the apocalypse"

Not to mention ungravied fries!

As soon as he started eating those pistachios, I thought oh, how convenient for us, the audience, for now we shall see a pistachio shell time jump. Then the camera panned down to the empty bowl. Then there was a time lapse shot of the exterior of the house. Then the now-superfluous shot of the bowl full of shells.

He did a movie of The Dresser with Ian McKellen. I think it was a Starz original, maybe? They were both great, but Hopkins really impressed me.

I wish I could forget about Mike.

Is that the one that's one long fat joke at Daphne's expense? God, that was horrible—doesn't make it better that the actress was pregnant at the time. And I love Frasier, but that shit was excruciating.

I sort of agree that the actor playing Ptonomy wasn't on the same level as the other players. His only emotion seemed to be "annoyed." The fact that he mispronounced the name of a German song isn't really a valid criticism unless you want to be unnecessarily pedantic. It's not as though the character is actually…

This is what really bothered me about the Harry Potter v. Voldemort showdown in the last movie, except that was worse because they actually had Voldemort start using his body to physically beat Harry, which is of course absurd!

Legion
I've never been so attracted to/terrified of a character before.
