Yea, it's definitely funny. But there's no Saul Goodman, Jesse Pinkman, or Walter White-in-his-undies type of stuff on this show. Even though it flirts with metaphysical ideas, it's basically "realistic" like The Wire. Right from the pilot on, Breaking Bad was laced with a lot more humor.

No. He's investigating the case and the powers that be are trying to pin the case on him.

Agreed. I'm really liking this show. At the same time, I think the freshness of it is influencing where people rate it in relation to classic series. Kind of like how new movies on IMDb tend to get massive ratings at first, and then gradually slide down to a more natural level.

I think all the "Yellow King" stuff is in reference to the idea of an ideology being so powerful that it can dictate behavior. Whatever Tuttle and his buddies are selling, it's powerful enough to get people to lay down on the tracks and surrender their lives to the cause. Which is I think exactly what Dory did, and…

So it was the Governor and his creepy tall preacher cousin all along. I watched episode one a second time last night and came away thinking the creepy preacher would be involved. He talks about a "war" being waged when he meets the detectives at the police station, and I'm pretty sure that was meant to have multiple…

I like this show and I enjoyed this episode, but my pulse did not rise at all during the robbery scene. Confirmed robot.

There's a saying in the writing business to "write what you know." I don't think a show written by a privileged twenty-something hipster could be expected to demonstrate the same worldly wisdom as something written by an older person who has been around the block a few times. Why? Because she has no life experience…

Apparently he's a pro wrestling fan.

I don't really know why I watch this show. I thought the first season was good and some of the individual episodes since then have been good, but as a whole the plot lacks direction and focus. Right now there isn't really anything happening in this universe that I care about. For a serialized show, that's a bit of a…

I can't think of a favorite episode, but Face-Off had my favorite moment of the show's run. When Gus walks out of the room and you think "Oh shit!" for a split second before…

Yea, I mean what are the odds that he would tune into Charlie Rose just in time to catch that interview? This show pushes willing suspension of disbelief pretty far. It still works.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I see a blue meth, I kill the man carryin' it.

Really wish Mike would've put a slug in her dome.

That was like Crash winning the Oscar. Hollywood rewarding "important" work that tackles "the issues" instead of things people actually enjoy watching. Like meth dealers, kingslayers, and gay cowboys.

That's why it pays not to bother learning who Jessica Hecht is.

Door #1: Save Jesse and prove that you still have a shred of humanity.

On the contrary, I think he will use science (bitch) to kill Todd ala Walter White with the two guys in the RV in the pilot. What he'll do after that, I haven't the foggiest.

Whole lot of ground to cover and only two episodes left to do it. I'm thinking there will be a big jump ahead in time from episode 6 to 7 and that we'll have to fill in some of the basic details.

Get it? Because Todd attached Jesse to a zipline? Get it?
