@placeholder Yep, unfortunately all those sensible responses don't involve explosions and statues of dictators being toppled, and that's the sort of thing people demanded.

@nillionaire:disqus Exactly. I mean, being denied treatment by a corporate bureaucrat ain't any better than being denied healthcare by a government bureaucrat, and yet there's hysteria about "death panels" from the right despite the fact that health-care rationing already takes place.

The thing is, I don't feel like there were really any unanswered questions about Walt in the end - he had mysterious powers of unknown origin, but that was the case with a lot of characters (Hurley, for example) and in no case was it ever fully explained - but it really was kind of  disappointing that they didn't…

Yeah, you have to take the episode theme with a grain of salt usually, at best there will maybe be 1 or 2 stories that actually fit. It doesn't bother me much as long as the segments are actually interesting but they mostly failed in that regard this week.

Thank god there are so many people around to explain that Lucas owns these movies and can do whatever he wants with them, because clearly nobody is arguing that, while he's well within his rights to alter his movies endlessly, it's just a really bad idea.

"Therefore, it seems like an elaborate, dangerous, and frivolous way of testing / instilling self-esteem in Jesse, and a total dramatic contrivance. "

I'm glad it got Jesse out of the circle of hell he was living in, but Gus' plan seems to have relied on a shit-ton of luck. What if Jesse didn't notice the dude with the shotgun? What if he just sat there and pissed his pants instead of peeling out? It's pretty convenient that everything went according to…

I'm not saying the Gallagher interview should be what all WTF interviews are compared against, in fact I think Maron should be careful to never get that pushy with an interview subject again, but I think it's a little unfair to take one comedian to task and let another one off the hook completely when they're doing…

Yeah I'm sorry but that was complete bullshit. Gallagher supposedly told some homophobic jokes at a county fair that nobody will ever hear, because that's what his shitty career has been reduced to, and Maron dogged him about it like it was the Neuremburg trials. Meanwhile, Dice has released several albums filled with…

The first line of this comment is Pulitzer material. I actually read the article so I lose.

1. It's hilarious when anyone farts

SISTA PAID SOME DUES!
"Gaga has admitted to abusing cocaine while drifting through New York City's overcrowded music scene in the late '00s."

I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE
…and this joke will get old quickly.

ALRIGHT ALREADY!

Yeah Aimee Mann was great! Last week's ep with David Koechner was really boring though… I guess probably because he's more of an actor than a comedian, but ugh.

Knocked-up Spin off?
Wow, that sounds almost as exciting as a gritty reboot of Police Academy.

I figured Nardwuar would come up here! Yes, I'm an unabashed fan. He's always entertaining, and usually his questions are very unique. Thing is, his interviews vacillate from being hardcore in-depth with questions that delve into really obscure aspects of the subject's career to being confrontational and just plain…

"I Missed the Bus" Is mankind's finest achievement.

INACCURACY!
"this was not exactly Pulitzer-worthy material we were working with"

Ho-hum
I dunno, my girlfriend tried to get me into it by showing me the episodes John Slattery guested on 'cause I'm a big Roger Sterling fan and it was pretty much what I expected… Annoying characters and attempts at witty dialogue but not clever enough by half.
