Oh, I agree with your assessment. I also feel that a raw, emotional hashing out (for lack of a better term) between the two, was long overdue. Given the betrayal he feels (justified or not, the way Dar described/explained it to him would definitely lead to a betrayal interpretation, deliberately) and his limitations

"He doesn't have the words that he needs to explain himself, but he can show her *that*." Well said, that was definitely the point of that outburst, how incredibly frustrated he must be at being unable to adequately express himself. It drove him to that. But, man, was that hard to watch. The point, no doubt, but it

With this administration? Yeah. Reality is sort of surpassing fiction in this regard, honestly.

Interesting. I never got the impression that he looks down on "normal people". It's always seemed to me that he envied them. They were also a reminder of what his life's work is about, and the very America he has done so much debilitating and soul-crushing work to protect. I think he enjoyed the company of the

You are not the only one! I couldn't stand Parenthood either! I gave it a shot on netflix haven't not watched it on airing, since I loved Friday Night Lights with the same showrunner. I ended up finding myself bored, annoyed and skipping around, not bothering to watch the last season when it became available. I found

BCS = Better Call Saul. :)

Yeah, glad that they seemed to just let it go. It shouldn't be a big deal, was just surprised for a second, given the basic cable thing.

I might have misheard, but it sounded like Max dropped an f-bomb live on air, as well. Oops.

Yeah, you're right, pretty much. But there was already some nervousness on Jesse's part about putting them in danger just by being in his orbit. Walt just pushed that button that was already there.

As has been said, Andrea wasn't so much a character as a plot device. She and Brock have both been used as motivations for Jesse but there was never all that much to their relationship, that we saw. Jesse has always been desperate for family and personal connections and the two became a ready-made family for him. He

I believe the finale will involve a reckoning of some kind between Walt and Jesse. It all started with the two of them and will end there. And if Walt is provided with a redemption of any kind (if that's even possible at this point) it would have to involve Jesse I think, the person whose life he, arguably, ruined the

This is true. I was hoping there was more to it, but I think you're right.

Two other great episodes with perfunctory titles. Good point thanks!

You are probably right, thanks. Ugh, that title is just awful. Such a great episode though.

This might be a silly question, but can anyone explain to me what the title means? Is it really just a play on the word dichotomy? I assumed it was just that, John seems to be essentially torn in two, explaining the death of his dichotomy as John and John/Harvey. Aeryn's death tears him in two as well of course. But

He might get a bench though.

Oh man. So so funny. Thank you. Kept biting my lip to keep from laughing out loud. And I stopped watching the ep about half-way through b/c I kept forgetting to pay attention while watching it. Now I'm all caught up and reading this was far more entertaining! Thanks!

Yeah. That scene kills. So so good.

All that and it's a great showcase for everyone to have some fun. Terrific episode.

Agreed. I was thinking about that too. The components of the illusion all offer agreement based on plausible deniability. Very cleverly written. Especially evident in the scenes with Zhaan as you point out. Unlike in A Human Reaction the illusion doesn't have to be believable to Crichton to be effective. The psychic
