I saw Ferris Bueller in the theater and even then I thought he was an entitled, obnoxious shithead. Jeannie was a bitch, but I still sympathized with her.

Counterpoint: you saw it several years after high school graduation, but a) Stockholm Syndrome because it was always on HBO that one summer, b) you used to work at Tower Records so nostalgia and c) Rory Cochrane. I have a complicated relationship with this movie. I'm pretty meh on all the other ones you listed

It's probably more accurate to say it's not a coincidence that Kim is from Nebraska. In BB Saul did not have a choice on where he would be relocated. Clearly it's a deliberate choice by the writers to make that Kim's home base. Who knows if/how they'll use it, but they likely wanted to leave open the possibility

It's probably easier to think of it this way: between Jimmy and the grifter, Jimmy's dad is out $10 and a carton of cigarettes. The cigarettes are $8, so Jimmy's dad is out $18 (probably a little less assuming there is a markup on the cigs).

Jimmy didn't become Saul overnight. I don't think the show was ever supposed to be about Saul and his dirtbag clients; if they wanted to do that show they could have just started it a couple of years before BB and jumped right in. Instead it's about how Jimmy became Saul, and how Mike went from a cop to an

I think everything involving Mike and the Salamancas feels completely organic. Weirdly, in retrospect, it's throwing Mike and Jimmy together from the very beginning that feels a little off, or Jimmy dealing with Tuco. I mean, it was early days when they were still figuring things out, and it was fun, but again, in

That's the one.

The one that sticks out in my mind is when they put a baby carrier on the roof of a car and proceeded to drive away. As you say, no one got hurt or humiliated, just freaked out a bunch of people. :D

I saw someone say this last week, but I'm stealing it: I almost wish they would kill Daryl so I could stop watching this goddamn show.

I think I need to see this movie. I wasn't much of a fan of Jackass when they were doing stupid shit where they ended up hurting themselves or each other, but some of the pranks they pulled in public were fucking hilarious.

That is so much worse than if she'd never been a part of the conversation. Angela! How could you deprive us of the Storm we deserved?

I was convinced he was dead until I saw this article. I even had a vague idea that he had killed himself (no, I'm not confusing him with Ray Combs).

I give her all the credit for standing up for Trixie and telling Betty "You don't have to get it, it's not for you." I'm not a fan of Trixie's makeup either, but it's what she does. It's part of her schtick, and I think she's hilarious. That is the beginning and the end of my Derrick admiration.

I think so too. I didn't like Courtney but I can't deny she brought it in the challenges and especially on the runway. Derrick…not so much. He's so defensive on Untucked you can practically smell the insecurity. He knows he doesn't have it.

*Kyle Chandler is startled out of a doze, feeling a great disturbance in the force*

Me too. This is Mike and Jimmy's story of how they came to be the people we know in BB. It's not fan service to bring these characters into the story, it's necessary to establish Mike and Jimmy's history. Besides, it's fun; it's like having more BB, just without Walt and Jesse (which, after five seasons of their

That really was a beautiful little piece of storytelling.

Yep. When Hector's guy showed up at Mike's house to ask him for his answer I wondered "Should I know him?" My memory gets hazy with some of the peripheral characters.

Well, I did laugh out loud at that moment, just like I did at Deep Blue Sea, so you may be on to something.

That's come up quite a bit over the years. I thought Kirkman said he regretted that decision in the comics and didn't want to do it on the show.
