I know everyone is going through a lot…
…but I think it’s time for me to start a puzzle.

That post is really, really, really long.

"This closet, seemingly built to patronize to infants and the senile, is still a step up from 2007's dreadful 'Credenza'."

Actually, a shot of Walter testing the meth, and having it come out a fraction of a percentage higher than he ever cooked… that would have been pretty great.

For me, it's "Stay out of my territory." Up until then, "I'm doing it for my family" is a misguided but understandable excuse. From that moment on, everything is purely Walt's ego.

"Ace of fours. The best hand. Unbeatable, I'd imagine."

Technically speaking, neither one of them would do a very good job with the part right now…

Breaking Bad is an id-driven fantasy about giving in to our worst impulses. We'd like to believe that the evil in the world comes from the choices of bad people (like Walter), but in…

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus Goodfellas is the only exception I can think of. Although, in some sense, that's a king of "American Beauty" style-hell.

Notably, that was pointed out by Hank watching the video.

Stay out of his territory.

Do we really need to pick a "best" or "favorite"?
