Cunningham is pretty much the only reason I give a fuck anymore; once he goes I'll probably drop off.
Last week bored the crap outta me.

what Prince meant to me:
half a dozen or so truly memorable and Great songs
half a dozen or so more over-produced, over-played, annoying songs
having to go 'uh huh, yeah sure' every time I was forcefully expected to acknowledge the man's genius.
He was certainly pretty cool and had his moments, but really, late 70's-early…

They always seemed really
great, is what they always seemed..

the way this album is described is akin to how I would describe Chairs Missing, which is definitely in the top handful of albums in my collection; tight, taut songs which nonetheless evoke their own distinct landscapes through the liberal application of studio tricks and clever arrangements ..

no, I'm talking about the way Odenkirk delivered the whole 'what!? when!?' bit after getting back from grabbing some snacks; it was just really poor.

apart from a plausibility concern, I'm not sure Odenkirk completely sold the scene, either.

It's beautifully assembled, too ..

"I whul rekawwwwwd erryfing'

I thought chuck had retrieved a phone at first, but I realised pretty early that a taped-confession was Chuck's goal.
I thought it was clunky, unfortunately.

I have to agree - I really do love the show too, and from a technical standpoint it is flawless.
But the interesting-but-low-stakes fraternal issues of Chuck and Jimmy were kinda what last season was about (among other things), and while this season successfully spent more time on developing the Kim/Jimmy relationship…

yeah well said, I love every scene that guy is in - and he and Jonathan Banks work really well together; shades of the Walt/Jesse dynamic ..

I found it hard to suspend disbelief enough to credit anybody being
quite that stupid. Personally I don't think the scene worked all that
well, I was a bit underwhelmed - there was a lot that I did like about
the s2 finale, but Chuck pulling the ol' 'I will record everything'
trick was a pretty clunky device for the…

I love the Walter/Jesse dynamic that Mike and Nacho have shown throughout season 2; I knew Mike couldn't pull the trigger on Nacho - I hope the writers continue to find ways to plausibly keep the characters in each others orbits, because it's a dynamic that the writers achieve really well ..

gee that finale just did not land for me *at all*

spliced with a rose??

well if Robert Smith can take down Mecha-Streisand, I'm backing in David Byrne to give a good account of himself against Godzilla.

Gadzooky was the Scrappy Do of lizard-monsters.
But I would like to have seen his penis just once, you're right ..

It's the kind of album that makes you put down your crappy guitar and never want to sing again .. guy had oceans of talent

I think you're right on Robert Smith fairly sure he played some (or a lot, as they progressed) of Lol Tolhurst's parts (who had remained the longest-surviving original member of the band before he was dumped for being a drunk).

Agreed; it's just obvious that there is no merit in it whatsoever.
