(I was joking - but yeah, one would think basic, literal comprehension wouldn't be too much to ask of a reviewer.)

But did you notice the end? I think she was returning the food her son took, not taking more!

Yes. Many folks are calling it a virus - but I agree, are we really 100% sure that the "walker" condition actually is a virus? I can't recall if the CDC person had isolated a viral cause, or just outlined the effects, assuming theywere caused by a virus.

Did you read the essay? It doesn't say - nor does the AVClub article above suggest - that zombie movies are about "the horrors of collectivism," but, rather, argues that "the ethical principle that lies at the heart of all of them is collectivism." That is, he's arguing that they're PRO collectivism. There's nothing…

Not really, Sarcasm Detector - remember, everyone already has the "disease." Since everyone is already infected - if infection it is - there's no need to spread the "condition." We already have it. As @jordanorlando:disqus suggests below, this is a horror trope, and despite the CDC bit early on, there's no scientific…

Damed Wolves. Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos.

Ha. I didn't put that together. Thanks for that.

Which makes the reality in which the series began - Jimmy managing a Cinnabon in a mall - all the more tragic: he's "gettin' by, but not happy."

Remember Breaking Bad - when Walt and Jess kidnap Saul? (The video clip is linked below.) Notice that after he sees what Saul assumes is his own grave, the first thing he says is "Ignacio - he's the one" - turning on whoever Ignacio is (a turn that'd perhaps lead to Ignacio being murdered instead of himself). And then…

I dig what you mean - and I'd like to believe it myself - but see my comment above: Saul suggests Walt and Jessie murder Badger to keep him from talking. He suggests they use violence to "convince" the car wash owner to sell his business (Walt and Skyler have to insist that no one gets hurt: "No violence"). He helps…

I think Saul - the character in Breaking Bad - would definitely screw over anyone if it were in his best interest, or in the interest of another, wealthier client.

Jimmy McGill: "he is likable and he shows some hustle." That cracks me up more than it ought to.

I agree about the Mike in the parking structure scene. Not a high point.

And, most importantly, as @Scrawler2:disqus says above, the firm can't afford to buy out Chuck's share in the partnership. The firm would die if he quits. That's the only hold that truly matters. He's a "great" lawyer, sure, but if they don't please him, the firm disappears.

And Jimmy aided Mike in stealing a cop's notebook, returning it under false pretenses ("We found it in the parking lot"). That too is criminal. There's no doubt that Jimmy is - even now - a criminal lawyer.

@wovenstrap:disqus : I get it. The Mike the Mechanic bits of this episode were pretty textbook, and hardly necessary. Almost too cliche, in fact. I groaned while watching the parking structure scene go down. And then the drug buy went exactly as I figured it would, almost to a T.

Yes, the CGI in Zodiac is amazing. And almost completely naturalistic. A real push forward from some of the sillier looking effects in Fight Club.

Astin evidently says he's not doing Christian films because he's Christian (tho he is Christian - Lutheran, I believe), claiming that he choose films based on their "artistic value." And yet this film looks to be his third "faith-based" film. A puff piece from Fox News notes that "In 2003, Astin decided to 'embrace…

Here's a bit from a Fox news article on him and Christian films:

Evidently it's both. From Wikipedia: 'The title is a play on a contraction of the phrase "Did you make her" and the word "Jamaica."'
