But I'd assume the general's natural reaction would be something like, "What? How do you know that? Have you been spying on me?" Rather than, "Oh, you must be able to see the future thanks to what you've learned from the Hexapods. I better call off my attack."

I really had trouble buying the big climax. Louise changes the Chinese general's mind by telling him his wife's last words? Why would his mind be changed by a random woman suddenly calling him up and having his wife's last words mumbled to him?

Yes, I know.

Jon abandons all sense of good leadership he's shown up to this point and makes increasingly idiotic tactical decisions. All that talk about "pincer attack" and "I want Ramsey mad/on tilt" — where was that in the battle? Sansa warns Jon about how tricky Ramsey is and not underestimating him, and the very next scene…

I'm viscerally frustrated and disappointed with this episode. Easily one of the worst episodes in the show's history. Ugh.

Did 1940s Enver Gjokaj get cryogenically frozen and join the NYPD in time for 2012's The Avengers?

I'm sure I was made aware at some point, but I honestly couldn't recall when I was writing that comment. And I couldn't recall when deathbed Murph says "Go find Brand" or whatever at the end — I was like: who? Walking out of that cinema, I know I honestly couldn't recall any of the characters names except for Coop &…

I really disliked a lot of things about this film, but one of the most annoying things is the third act conflict that is so obviously manufactured between Murph and her brother JUST so Nolan can cross-cut between the space action and the "trouble at home". (Even though she's burned his crops down, they somehow manage…

Along the lines of what the article's mentioned about the climax, the film also has a habit of underlining incredibly obvious things. When Coop's ship enters that planet and nicks a frozen cloud, he exclaims "It's frozen!" (or something along those lines), as if that wasn't already obvious to everyone from JUST…

Okay. I'm not a book reader, so I'm not privy to any of that. It's just starting to feel like (with this episode in particular) that the story is splitting off wildly into different directions. Like there's no hope of it actually ever coalescing together again - unless they pull some magical three-eyed-raven deus…

Game of Thrones is starting to become really sprawling and weird. I'm not really sure I like it.

Anyone else not really feeling this episode? It had its moments, but a lot of stuff seemed clunky, abrupt, or just didn't work for me:

For the Nth time, it's not in a cigarette anymore.  It's just a vial of ricin.

Remind me again why Lydia is so insistent on furthering the meth dealings with the Czechs? I thought she only proposed it to appease Walt last season. Now that Walt's out, there's no need for any of that any more, right?

It's often Walt vs. [character] but sometimes it's Walt (and Jesse) vs. the world.  Which I find a lot more compelling.

To be fair, EW calls them "recaps" and not "reviews."

As absolutely phenomenal as this season's been so far, I was pretty underwhelmed by this episode.  I can't put my finger on what it is, but I guess I've never been a fan when the show's mano-a-mano conflicts get bogged down with manoeuvering and plot convolutions.  It's not dramatically interesting, and it feels like…

That's a good question.  Why DOES Walt just check his car for the tracker?  He acts on a strange hunch (maybe the "leap of logic" Todd is referring to on the top of this article: http://www.avclub.com/artic… )

As far as Hank knows, he's just discovered the identity of the smartest, most ruthless, most elusive meth manufacturer he's ever encountered in his DEA career.

Why did Hank choose such an obvious way to track Walt (with the GPS in the car)? They were both there when they bugged Gus' Volvo.
