He tells Walt Jr., "I'm sending Louis a package…" to me that implies that hes either in the process of sending it or is about to send the package, not that hes already done it. I think Walt is fully aware of the fact that he doesn't fully trust his family, but I don't see what that changes about the scene or what that…

I can't say that I agree with Todd Vander Werff's assessment of Walt. At no point in that article do I really see him argue that it is specifically white male privilege that drives Walter's frustrations. I hear people all the time shake their heads in disappointment when they see a young person with a lot of potential…

Walt made the call because he needed to be certain that Louis still lived at his old house. I think at this point, Walt truly is just desperate for all of the things he went through to have some kind of meaning.

Also, thank you Joshua Alston for this review. I can at least say I gleamed some amount of enjoyment from tonight's finale even if it was done indirectly through reading your takedown of this truly awful episode of television.

So wouldn't it have made more sense for Dexter to "sacrifice" himself after Rita was killed in season 4? Was the whole point of that season not to teach Dexter that he couldn't "have it all" by being both a family man and a serial killer? How was he able to brush off the death of his wife and his baby boy being left…

Honestly, I don't think Mad Men will receive nearly the spike in ratings that Breaking Bad did for its final season. I think Breaking Bad has a wider appeal to it and there's a sense that you know what you're getting with Breaking Bad. You don't know exactly how things will play out, but you knew that Gilligan and co…

I think thats why Walt has to be so absolutely venomous in that phone call because your right he needs the police to believe that this woman was scared for her life for basically a full year. So he claims to have threatened her several times and basically gloats about Hank's death even though he was absolutely…

The writer of the episode has confirmed that the phone call was a ploy on Walt's part to save Skylar:

"Who put this thing together? Me, that's who! Who do I trust? Me!"-Scarface
"I built this. Me, alone — nobody else,"- Walter White

Yes, Vince Gilligan and two of the other writers all admitted that they felt Ozymandias was the best episode of the entire series. I think the teaser used that poem simply because that title could be applied to this season as a whole though.

I think part of it is cultural. Just like women can develop serious body-image issues due to being presented with unrealistic standards in the media, men are taught from a young age that a big part of masculinity is tied to dick size and how you perform in bed. But honestly, I don't see whats so shameful about…

(puts on sun glasses)
YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I'm actually surprised that push come to shove, Walt wouldn't be willing to off Hank. He was even willing to kill Jesse when thats what it took to protect his family, so I was actually surprised that he first tries to call off the Nazis and then warn Hank when they show up.

*"Todd is Jesse with no loyalty, Gale with no aesthetics, Mike with no code"

Even though I didn't really like the direction they took things in the second film, when it ended with Riddick sitting on that throne, I was excited to see what would happen next so its unfortunate that that story is pushed aside so quickly. Having the middle of the movie take place from the point of view of the mercs…

Originally this film was supposed to focus on Riddick and the Necromongers traveling to the underverse, but The Chronicles of Riddick bombed so they were forced to go back to basics with a smaller budget.

I love Alexa Davalos, but I really wish they would have allowed Rhiana Griffith to reprise her role as Jack in The Chronicles of Riddick. Jack and her relationship with Riddick was one of my favorite parts of Pitch Black and something was lost when they recast her.

Exactly. Vince Gilligan has always said that the show is about a guy going from "Mr. Chips to Scarface", and in a way Tony Montanna makes the exact same mistake that Walt does. Tony thought he could hold on to some sense of morality in a world that is devoid of any. Tony thought he could have it both ways by not only…

Non linear story telling seems to be something that Nolan genuinely enjoys doing. Hes done it to one degree or another in 5 of the 8 films that hes done so far. I doubt him doing it in Memento had anything to do with Tarantino.

Even if Hank isn't fired he and the people around him may simply feel its better for him to step down for the good of the department. Yeah, he might get some credit for not giving up on the Heisenberg case, but ultimately revealing that the guy was right under his nose the entire time would look disgraceful in the…
