If the ATF sent Tim to El Paso, with a bunch of bugged guns, and no support, then they are as bad as the worst hype over the Fast & Furious case made them seem. He's got to have someone out there he reports to. We just haven't seen them yet.

I keep waiting for a show to be tough-minded enough to do something like let the character die in this type of situation. I mean, I knew Marco's wife and daughters weren't going to die last week, but would they let Gus die to bring home to Marco that his home-wrecking has consequences?

And he now has Frye. But, as Frye has no friends or family to torment, what's the deal? It'll be something, if next week, Sonya tracks down Frye and finds he is not in the immediate danger that Gus is.

I agree that Charlotte may have been better left out this week. Although her and Cesar's improvised murder spree last week was justifiable, dropping a federal informant in the desert is courting apocalyptic mayhem from both sides of the law. And her backup is Ray? As soon as the show can afford more than two scenes…

I don't appreciate this. I was secure that at least Saul would survive the conclusion of Breaking Bad, if no one else did. Now you're telling me this show will precede his involvement with Walt and Jesse. Oh, the uncertainty!

Let's not make more of this than we should. My displeasure with Dave Chappelle not continuing his show came not from some thwarted vicarious desire to see him sitting on a stack of money, but from the fact that I knew I would miss his hilarious, perceptive voice, and I knew it would not be easy to replcace. Proof of…

And by the way, "Zero Dark Shithead?" Really? Honestly?

Let's play the home version of Sons, with our own implausible plot developments!

And the IRA are back! Whoo-hoo!

As long as it's set to a cover song sung by Katey Sagal, I'm in.

Were you around the AV Club during season 3? It was just brutal. Hardly anyone liked the dragging episodes before they got to Ireland, and when they got there, and Jax almost fucked his half-sister? Well, the less said, the better.

After an unpromising start last year, Kurt Sutter did something I didn't expect him to do. He cleaned house. He largely roped in a lot of loose plotlines, and resolved them rather ruthlessly. Jax committed himself to total bastardhood, and Tara and others were finally facing the repercussions of their bad decisions.…

This song just played on the radio in my office a couple hours ago. Yep, still hate it.

Ellis has an Avengers graphic novel coming out this fall, drawn by Mike McKone. So you're saying I shouldn't expect too much?

Don Heck?

The Avengers books should be so lucky.

It boggles my mind that these numbskulls, following the demise of the Water Hoarder, just completely rolled over for Big Jim. A town refuses to even try to build some kind of coalition? And gives away all their guns? And excepting his accusations without question?

You know who I feel most sorry for here? No, not Natalie Zea. Andy Sanberg. After suffering through months of watching his moronic, untalented doppelganger, who's going to want to watch his new show?

This week in the Vast Misjudgments of Walter White: His total refusal to believe that Jesse could turn on him, especially to Hank. Along with his superior feelings toward all around him goes the belief that none of them can move out of the boxes has has placed them in. So he never believed, even in light of his…

I really don't get it. If didio truly believes that most current comics fans are males over 40, one would assume he would try to depict something they might be able to relate to, like marriage. Unless they think that we read comics to escape our wives and children…
