Also, Alchemy is the root of Chemistry. That's why the money is never enough for Walt. He's an obsessed master alchemist. He's already found a way to turn a base metal into gold, but he's after the Elixir of Life - perfection. The goal is 'longevity, then then immortality and finally, redemption'.

I thought the ending was perfect, and it really revealed what the entire show was about on its most basic level - Chemistry. I have to work on this idea, but hear me out-

Thing I noticed - Skylar is constantly in shadow - you can particularly see it in the car wash, when she's literally just a silhouette. It's a reflection of her loss of life, agency, identity - she is a dark reflection of the wife, mother and competent business woman that she was.

oh my I was drunk when I typed that out…

No one is ever going to read this, but did anyone else catch how the respirators make Walt and Jesse look like flies? The big red disks are the eyes, and the black part in the middle resembles its mouth. Before Jesse tries to cook behind Walt's back, he puts the respirator on his head. With his dark clothes and the…

God I remember being so obsessed with the original Scooby-Doo as a kid (see my username). I think I watched every episode so many times that I could probably tell you who the monster was just by where the van broke down in the first 5 minutes. It pretty much kickstarted my love of the friends that solve…

Why hasn't the x-files been mentioned yet? Agent Mulder was super hot. So was Scully for that matter.

Yeah I can't wait for this. Simon Pegg and Martin Freeman make everything instantly better.

Neville Longbottom???

I'm sorry, but your cheekbones keep distracting the female crew members, and as Captain I have no choice but to detain you for the safety of my ship.

Remember it's a children's book. Most kids don't go looking for religious metaphors. I read it when I was in 5th grade and didn't pick up on anything, and my family was Catholic.

Yeah they really do crop up everywhere, don't they? It's probably due to Christianity being a huge part of Western civilisation. I also think that you can find religion everywhere if you look hard enough.

OK I don't know if that made any sense, but basically:
-who cares if they are religious because loads of fiction is
-you don't have to pay attention to it if you don't want to
-different perspectives are good for you and
-children aren't that impressionable anyway

The Chronicles of Narnia & His Dark Materials

You have to feel for the casting directors in that situation. They not only had to cast 10 years olds who could carry a feature film, but also seven subsequent films over the next seven years, while they would be going through every stage of adolescence and into adulthood. I think there's a certain amount of…

Yeah, I can kind of see your point there. I really enjoyed MI4, but it was largely due to Brad Bird's action sequences and Simon Pegg being hilarious and just basically everything happening around Tom Cruise being really fun to watch. He was kind of just like the nothing guy in the middle running around and doing…

I live in Sydney and from what I saw no one was up in arms. Everyone I knew was just talking about the hilarious daily show bit. It's just a depressing and rather cringeworthy trend that whenever some overseas name comes here and says something the slightest bit derogatory about Australia, the press jumps on it,…

The Bling Ring makes me think of the Rural Juror from 30 Rock.
