seriously go to hell asshole

why bother

I can't handle this place any more…

I'm done here

Or you could buy an antenna, since most of that stuff or the equivalent is on broadcast TV every night.

The stakes are lower (though real jail time is still involved) but Ted getting busted for taking drug money from Skyler is could easily topple the stack of lies about how she and Walt got their money.

Yeah but this isn't Ted's story, it's Skyler's. It's perfectly fine for him to be dormant for so long, until he's needed again. I mean what's the alternative, check in with Ted every few weeks to remind us he exists?

Seriously, the Skyler didn't come "out of nowhere." It was a big part of last season and what we saw tonight will obviously lead to something huge in the future. You didn't see where this storyline can and likely will create huge problems that could bring everyone down? Just her getting on that special agent's radar

He hasn't been mislaid… He just doesn't fit in to the current, tightly plotted story. This would be a much worse show if Saul kept popping up because just because he's funny.

So who will be the last Beatle? The way things seem to work in this life, isn't it almost a given that Ringo will outlive them all?

He had a lame stretch in the 80s. Especially since Lennon's legacy was being elevated to that of a genius/martyr at the same time.

I'd agree with you if it wasn't for Pacino's accent..

I think the problem is Buscemi himself. Of course they wanted to work with him, and I think he was already directing episodes, and in a way I'm sure they thought he was the perfect fit… But in the end I think it led to lazy writing.

There's on-the-nose because the creator is making a point in an obvious and ham-handed way, and there's on-the-nose because it's such an obvious thing to do, you know they have to do it.

And his voice was weird in that one too, like the actor had a cold or something, which was also really off-putting.

The Sopranos had a few. I know D-Girl is the one everyone hates, followed by maybe a Hit is a Hit, but the one I can't handle at all is the one where Tony meets his dad's ex-mistress at the funeral. I can't even remember what happens in it anymore because I always shut it off.

Someone I know recently attended a Beaver-watching party where everyone had to make or bring their own puppet, and were only allowed to speak through the puppet the whole night.
