The first appearance of Saul - Jesse and Walt drag him into the desert and threaten to kill him, and he starts pleading for his life in Spanish and saying that Ignacio is the one they want, that he's a friend of the cartel, and asks if Lalo (I think - it's hard to hear) sent them.

Well, we do know a little about what happens to Nacho between now and Breaking Bad - he screws up something so massively that Saul is convinced that he's being dragged out into the desert over something that the two of them did.

The sound effect is there - but you're right, you absolutely don't notice it the first time. Also, the 'sampling' doesn't necessarily kill people, he just kills out of expediency. When he 'samples' Sarah during the shoulder stabbing scene, for example, she survives just fine.

I've seen T2 dozens of times, and there's absolutely no suggestion in Robert Patrick's first scene that he kills the cop. It would have worked as a twist if not for the marketing - and does, for people watching it for the first time now.

So another week without Nacho, and I was confused why a guy was a paid part of the cast but only in 3 episodes. Then, super-embarrassed, I realized that in Saul's first appearance, he thinks they're there to kill him because of something he and Nacho pulled.

So is the show now pretending he wasn't married to Krabappel? I didn't notice any pictures of her lying around the shrine room. Maybe a separate room for her mementoes?

I'm a little worried about Juilie Kavner's health - we're at a point where her Marge voice sounds like the Mrs. Bouvier voice she was doing 20 years ago.

Isn't this more a confirmation that the elevator was rigged to trap Ray? Archer rapidly taps on the 'close door' button again, and once again it went up to the top and got stuck?

Absolutely you're right, I just figured that Missy was clever enough to be planning potential outs in case things didn't go her way - and a good one would be to have a contingency in case someone wanted to shoot her with her own 'gun', which is a pretty popular way of killing villains, really.

I was just talking about the Season Ender a couple of weeks ago, and how sad my friend was that they killed off Osgood - then it occurred to me that we only have Missy's word that she was killing people. She had a weird hand-held thing that made people vapourize in a puff - and then that was done to her. But who's to…

No, the only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother - I call him Gam-Blor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!

I always assumed that the casting choice was primarily about picking an actress whose appearance cannot possibly be read as a comment on Louie's real-life ex-wife. Once he cast a black actress in the role, no one can say that he's taking shots at the mother of his children - it's a completely separate character.

Sending Ser Robert Strong down to Dorne would definitely be a mistake - after all, they've been told that the Mountain is dead, but he's kind of hard to mistake for someone else, even if he's got a new head.

Bronn had plenty to do in the books, we just hear about all of it second-hand in Cersei's chapters. One of the things that I've been most looking forward to in the show's adaptation is getting to watch the hilarious misadventures that occur when Bronn marries up.

There's no 'Rock Me Dr. Zaius' in the song. It's 'help me', and then they just repeat his name over and over again.

You're right - seems like a weird choice to go with Bradley Whitford's non-union Mexican equivalent. Was he that busy with the end of Trophy Wife, the show no one even realized he was on?

I read all of the books between season 2-3, and every time it cut back to Victarion, I kept thinking "Wow, is none of this going to be on the show." Now I'm just hoping we'll see Dorne at some point.

"Aw. Jordan has a crush on Kate. Maybe he’s the mole."

Unless he's off cutting deals while she's getting stabbed to quench a magic sword…

You're right - I didn't even notice that until just now. How many episodes can they get next year with Petyr talking about how he's going to keep the Aerie and marry Sansa off to retake the North?
