MISTAH JIM-MY PAR-DO!

Me too. Saw the trailer in IMAX before Pacific Rim and got so dizzy I thought I might pass out. (The dizziness was from all those wild, spinning shots of the ship being torn apart, but my terror before the cold, indifferent vastness of space didn't help.)

Space Travel Is Boring.

Andrea's death means Jesse lives, in much the same way as (WIRE SPOILERS) Sherrod's death meant Bubbles had to make it. Gilligan and Co. wouldn't put a character through as much suffering as Jesse's been through if they weren't going to let the character survive.

I appreciate that there's an article here about an author I hadn't heard of and I second the request for more articles on books. For what it's worth, the next time I'm in a bookstore (yes, they still exist where I live) I'll seek out Vann's novels.

I hope the folks who write the DSM are working on a diagnosis for the kids who bait youtube videos with the "I'm only 12 and I love [generic rock song/band]!" shtick. That impulse is pathological.

That is true. And I find it extraordinary that they were able to have the character all but disappear for that season and bring him back without missing a beat. Yes, most people think that the fifth is the weakest of the series, but even though it was rushed, I loved his final arc.

McNulty was the first name that came to mind when I saw the article's title.

I'm looking forward to seeing Colbert gloat about this tomorrow night on his show. Take that, Fallon!

I almost wish the final moment of the series had been Walt paying Robert Forster to stay with him for an hour.

But didn't you feel the least bit sorry for him when his Nazi relatives were making fun of his crush?

I doubt it, unless there's a Wire-style montage in the finale. Or maybe a post-credit stinger: Huell walks into a lonely Nebraskan Cinnabon. Saul looks up, terror in his eyes. "I was waiting a long time in that hotel room," Huell says, "and I've brought somebody with me."

Anybody think Uncle Nazi's line reading of "We got all the money in the world!" was intentionally channeling Charles Manson? Same inflection and everything.

Has there ever been a character more likely to bite it in the finale of a TV show than Todd?

Anybody else think the cold open was a flashback at first? I
was a little disappointed when I realized it wasn’t, but I was still pretty
happy ‘cause hey, it’s Saul!

With much thanks to Zack Snyder for answering this once and for all: Hallelujah!

Of all of the great anecdotes surrounding the making of this movie, this one might be my new favorite. What a wonderfully ludicrous way to lose a job!

Really? No Yippie Ki Yay, Motherfucker?

So who was the moronic director who thought Jaws was about a whale?

I've been catching up on the Breaking Bad podcast and Vince Gilligan never fails to lavish praise and credit on absolutely everyone involved in the creation of the show. It's refreshing to hear (if a bit trying at times; the word "lovely" inevitably loses its meaning), especially after learning what dicks many show…
