The moral of the story: Never come to a job without at least five guns.

Walter White's story is about choices and consequences. Saul's character arc is about obligations and expectations, and his lack of choice is arguably more troubling. Apart from the bribe he later returned, is there any decision he's made this season that isn't defensible? Walt and Saul both decide to become

The episode had fun moments, but as a whole, it felt strained. The humor in this one seemed to come at the expense of structure and momentum when it shouldn't be zero sum. Or at least it wasn't in earlier episodes, which balanced genres more gracefully, weaving them instead of toggling.

Speaking of just judges, I love reading Donna Bowman. Her reviews are first rate — insightful, witty, engaging and fair (she's right about those two montages).

The forum shouldn't be an echo chamber. But it helps to have a sense of humor and an appreciation for satire — or at least a simple understanding of it — to write about South Park. Assigning the show to this guy is like asking a vegan to review a steakhouse. Thurm is out of his depth.
