Breaking Bad Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

This show has achieved the unlikely feat of transforming the most useless type of story - the prequel - into the best thing on TV, two years in a row.

I don't even watch or know anything about the show, I'm just here to express my appreciation for the wahrwilf reference.

Dammit Mike, stop being the best character. This isn't your show either.

The key to a good literary adaptation is to wantonly introduce new storylines that fundamentally change key aspects of the story and characters.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

I was so excited when the series started, I'm not sure what the last series I've watched was that tanked so quickly in my mind.

Ugh, can somebody please make a book adaptation that doesn't hamfistedly trim down plot and character details in order to shoehorn in their own "better" plotlines? The whole reason the last episodes felt like they needed something was because everything in the books was cut down to its most basic CliffsNotes bullet…

Darn, I was really hoping this was leading up to a miniseries of Ted Danson Space Adventures while we wait for S3. But a universal pictographic language is pretty neat too, I guess.

A new GY!BE record's been out for months? I guess it's just one of those days where I feel like I stepped into an alternate universe, because I'd swear I've checked the news every month or two to see what they're up to and I didn't even know they were recording anything.

I haven't read the books in a while, but was Mason Verger constantly doing a cheesy Nixon impersonation?

To be fair, he only said it *looks* like wax. You could shank someone, then make a 911 call claiming that "there's what looks like molten wax everywhere!" and still be technically correct.

I'm still on the fence about Star Trek 3, but I'm mildly more interested in checking out Kingsman.

This would've instantly become my favorite show of all time if Stan Lee had cameoed as the waste truck driver who ran over kid Matt Murdock.

You're probably right. As much as I like Radiohead and Thom Yorke, I never really bothered to see if anyone else from the group did much for Amok.

I'm fine with this, there's a surprisingly large list of comedians I dislike somehow finding it in themselves to do a dramatic role I love.

I accidentally clicked on this instead of the 11/22/63 article, which momentarily made the header image much more interesting.

And also may or may not be good, given the last three or four related albums.

Season 7: He saves Kennedy from the bullet, but the car crashes and explodes, so he must go back to try again next season.
Season 13: He saves Kennedy, but is caught on film and identified, so he must go back to try again next season.
Season 16: He saves Kennedy, but gets a parking ticket in the meantime, so he must go…

I've heard that Hulu was set up specifically to aggravate people and force them back to real television, ultimately showing that streaming makes no sense…it makes so much sense.
