I just went to the location used in the show earlier this week. It's a Twister's fast-food burrito place way down in Albuquerque's South Valley, down Isleta Blvd. right next to an ostrich farm. I sat in the booth Walt waited to meet Gus in, and on one wall nearby they've kept a large Pollos Hermanos mural up, probably

This is cool, but I really hope it's better put-together than the BREAKING BAD book.

Jesse should have said, "Andrea, let's get back together," and then they would have kissed, and then Andrea should have said, "Yes, we really are back together."

You are so wrong about Walt poisoning the kid. I wouldn't argue that he lacks to moral flexibility to sink to such a depth—just the motivation and the means.

He's very apparently based on a real lawyer here named Ron Bell, a kinda slimy-seeming lawyer whose face is everywhere on "I Sue Drunk Drivers" billboards (and who recently got convicted for a DUI).

That's going to be the big effect of the events in this episode: now Gus will have to deal with Walt and Jesse. Now he'll be highly suspicious of Jesse for luring him to a death trap. Now Jesse and Walt will have to get active to kill Gus and save themselves. I predict Gus dies in the season finale.

Did you even see "Crawl Space"? That was no limp.

Walt has no real motivation to poison the kid. He's not in sadistic revenge mode right now, he's in desperate survival mode. And even if he was feeling sadistic, he secretly loves Jesse, like a son. Walt would never have done that. An accident is possible. Gus is almost certain.

Hank will. He'll be among the very last to go. And props to Noel for changing his mind. Good for you, sir. I admire your humility and correctness.

*HIS bro-ish-ness

Mirman lacks jokes and seems to think specificity equals hilarity; Posehn is all random lowest-common-denominator scatology, like a Mad Libs sheet filled in by a grade-school boy; Swardon is just not funny and bro-ish-ness makes me want to punch him

Agreed. I really can't stand Brian Posehn or Nick Swardon either, and it weirds me out that any of these have any hipster cred at all. These guys still occasionally louse up my Pandora comedy station, even they only get thumbs down from me.

Ignore the review. This film is great. A total blast.

Your loss. This movie was a blast. The abrupt ending could MAYBE take it down to an A-, but I loved this film from start to finish. It's the most fun I've ever had watching someone's self-destruction. C+ is an absurd rating for this; I can't imagine being a fan and not loving this. As the owner of the theater where I

I also George Carlin is very Rooney-like. So much so that I find it hard to really enthuse about Carlin, as I often hear him as a more profane Rooney.

God, what a loving tribute. Farewell. Farewell.

Also, I think that scene in the desert, when the cloud moves in, is a direct homage to a comparable scene in Arthur Penn's BONNIE AND CLYDE. (The one in which Bonnie is running away through a wheat field, with the cloud tracking her.) Not sure how that fits thematically, but it would be another movie referenced in

I see even greater parallels between Walt and Hank. They are opposites, and it's all heading to their final confrontation. I suspect Gus willl be out of the way this season.

Walt could kill Jesse.

Yeah, Saul's a dead man.
