We probably would have gotten an event similar to Gale even without Jesse, where Walt finds himself in a position where he decides he must take the life of a harmless person in cold blood in order to stay alive himself. But the wrinkle of Jesse being the one to pull the trigger really sent the show into even darker,…

Heroes was ruined well before that Writer's Strike. That whole second season, yeesh.

Yeah, this would fit in perfectly with NTSF:SD:SUV (or however it's spelled), though it's twice as long as that. I didn't mind the length on the first episodes too much though.

I watched this last night on a whim actually, and maybe it was just because it was late at night, but I thought it was hilarious. Like anything improved it's very hit or miss, but the actors are game enough that I rolled with a lot of it (the opening scene especially, and just about anything between the sheriff and…

Well, *I* thought it was funny.

Yeah, I've wished death upon Walter numerous times throughout this last half-season, but I'd be lying if I still don't get a "FUCK YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!" burst of adrenaline at watching this scene: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I think the joke is more in just how easy it is to prove that it's a "sex farm". Most news magazines would save the reveal for the actual segment, but it's all there right in the story teaser. You don't expect him to reveal it so quickly, and then he casually does. I think it's a hilarious punchline that I've just…

And apparently Moffat dismissed the idea, saying "I'd like to see a man play The Queen". Which seems…a bit dickish.

Never watched Doctor Who, so this is all I have to offer: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

This actually sounds really cool. I don't have cable, but I might check out that YouTube video of the first episode.

I wouldn't put it past some Breaking Bad fans to blame her for it.

Yeah, watching TNG in order it's insane how the show goes from "mostly crap, occasionally semi-redeeming episode" during season 2 to "almost always at least pretty good, sometimes great" during season 3. Like, instantaneously. The first few episodes of season 3 aren't necessarily great TV (well, "Who Watches the…

I actually wasn't very fond of the chicken plot (outside of Red's obsession and one-liners) until that final scene. Her abandoning the call for the chicken makes sense for the reasons you mention, and her going for it only to find the chicken on the other side of the fence is a surprisingly funny yet powerful moment.…

That opening shot is very Children of Men. Mike D'Angelo is gonna haaaaaaaaate this!

Facebook's been trying to hook me up with Christian and Muslim singles for a while now, even though my religion is clearly marked as "Unitarian Universalist".

Even though it was basically the comic-relief plot, her intervention in the penultimate episode was my favorite part of that episode. Her and Felix have become such an amazing duo.

"…and the only bad thing about getting it all at once is that now I have to wait until next summer for more."

It also showed up in the flashbacks to the Latina mother/daughter duo, said by the asshole drug dealer mom was dating. I got Lost deja vu when it showed up there (interconnecting flashbacks!), though it showing up at the auditions with everyone laughing but the nun was pretty funny.

Yeah, both seasons would qualify. But I imagine they'll wait until next summer again. If Netflix campaigns the heck out of this (and they've been campaigning hard for Arrested Development and House of Cards), Emmy nominations could be easy publicity for a second season in late July or early August, kind of like how…

HOW DID I MISS THIS BEING AN IN-JOKE?
