Which, coincidentally, also describes Daft Punk sans masks.

Yeah, pretty much. It's mostly college students and tourists. I don't know how in demand you think those tickets are but for most shows they have people actively recruiting audiences from tourist hangouts. The exceptions might be SNL, maybe David Letterman and the Tonight Show though you're still likely to get in if…

If it's a cheap trick, it's because there's no easy explanation for how Walt got access to the kid to poison him. I don't mind not filling in the blanks if we the audience can connect the dots ourselves, but how does a 50 year old man get access to a (what, 5 year old?) kid, within a very short and stressful time…

It's not a Rube Goldberg machine if you don't know what it's supposed to do. The whole point of that comic strip is to show a ridiculously complex invention that completes a rather simple or pointless task.

If that partner (I've seen every episode and I can't even think of his name) had any personality other than to be a stock good guy cop partner who plays by his own rules as long as that works for everybody else*, I'd be more perturbed by how easy he accepted the reveal. But he doesn't, so who even cares how he reacts?…

@Roswulf:disqus , that would be indeed be awesome, though I do think it would inevitably end with Clarkson burning in a wicker cage.

I can live with the fact that the kids of celebrities are going to have charmed lives etc etc., but I think it's appalling how low the barrier for entry into that special club has become. Back in my day if your dad was Alan Thicke you'd be laughed back to Canada in shame if this was your act.

When the nonconsensual sex begins. Duh, you're an animal, it's in your nature something something.

ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER

She's absolutely believable. There's tens of thousands of Maras in Los Angeles, and they all, like her, work in real estate.

Serial killers are pretty silly too, and as far as overused premises go they're pretty much the zombies of the late 80s/most of the 90s.

I have a theory that the reason the cops we see are so inept is because any police with any actual talent are dealing with a massive cocaine-fueled Columbian vs Salvadoran cartel war in the unseen 90% of Miami that doesn't look like beautiful Orange County, California.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

… Tony Roma's? That's considered a good restaurant where you are?

Maybe if you call and tell her you're Nirvana she'll let you touch her virginia.

Nervana may be dead but I bet she could get Dave Grool and his Food Fighters to do it. Or maybe even Courtney Glove.

… Oh, I get it. Because Cranston played Tim Whatley the dentist slash molester. Ha.

I'm pretty sure you can already get Led Zepplin holograms. Unless that rock memorabilia kiosk at the mall went out of business or something.

Not much, really. Malcolm gets older but in that Fred Savage way where he just looks like the kid version of himself enlarged 135% in Photoshop.
