Nice analysis, though I don't think this is the Walter White from the pilot… this is some sort of amalgam of that Walter and Heisenberg. An emasculated Heisenberg, not unlike the wheelchair-bound Tuco, still full of bitterness and vengefulness but rendered ineffective. For a while, at least. It remains to be seen

I don't care that Walt has saved Jesse's life. He's used, manipulated, and emotionally abused Jesse just to satisfy his delusion that he's some sort of awesome mentor and father figure to the guy. He never truly cared about Jesse… except as someone who makes him look like a respected, even righteous authority figure

You mean Summer Glau?

/ ;_; \

Merricat Blackwood is just adorable… that may sound kinda nuts, but you know, even mean lil kittens can be cuddly.

What about Rocket Red? I don't remember if he ever appeared in the DCAU.

6) Hank gets shot but survives, goes into a coma, wakes up with amnesia, vaguely remembers that Los Pollos Hermanos is connected to blue meth, spends the rest of the season trying to track down the mysterious "Hermano"

If you're gonna be objective, then everyone on the show is terrible. Walt, Skyler (embezzlement), Hank (police brutality), Marie (thievery), Saul, Lydia, Todd. So who on this show is sympathetic? I guess you're on the side of… Walt Jr.?

Even Walt isn't delusional enough to think that letting Jane die was in any way about taking care of Jesse.

For a second there, I was thinking, "How can Andrea not run away screaming?" But of course, she has no idea what an ominous thing it is to have Walt come knocking at your door.

If only Gomie could stick around long enough to call Todd "Ricky Hitler"!

I reread The Unbearable Lightness of Being for my book club, but ended up not going. It was good to rediscover the book, though. I was surprised that Sabina played a smaller role in it than I remembered, as she's the character I found most memorable. But then, Sabrina's artistic sensibilities are pretty close to mine,

I thought Keaton was too weird for Bruce Wayne, but then I've never liked Tim Burton's Batman movies, even as a kid. They didn't feel like "Batman" movies to me.

> The rumored plot of Luke's twin children being trained as a Jedi only to find one turn bad

Spaced
The Middleman

Now, if they had given Natalie Portman that role, that would've been brilliant.

Why don't they make a live-action Gunslinger Girls already? Cast Steinfeld, Ronan, Maisie Williams, and Chloe Moretz in it.

The line "…all to try to avoid archenemy Jessica Alba" made me laugh out loud.

What's the one where a guy has a "foolproof" plan to escape prison… in a coffin? I guess it's not much of a story, but the thought of it gives me a chill to this day.

All right, I'll give you some picks. Not sure if you'll like any of these at all, but who knows? SNSD - Hoot, Rainbow - A, KARA - Step, T-ARA - Sexy Love, Girl's Day - Expectation.
