"Cheer up, beautiful people. Here's where you get to make it right." sounds to me as though he still thinks they wronged him.

I'm not sure what you mean with the Star Trek allusion, but your comment about Saul breaking character reminded me that he was wearing a normal white shirt and gray slacks down in that basement. It looks like his flashy suits were part of the "Better call Saul" character as well.

In the flash forward Walter also traded the Volvo for an older American luxury sedan, the kind that Mike favored.

Trolling the fans is exactly what it is. Got to get those page views!

Yeah, someone else mentioned somewhere in the thousands of comments here that the scary thing about the Nazis is how frigging practical they are. They just get right to the point, no rationalizations or lingering notions of civilized behavior.

Yeah, Cranston has done a great job of portraying a genius, but I think there is a tendency among viewers to overestimate Walt's caution. Remember way back in the first season when he stole the equipment to cook from the school? That was pretty dumb. He could have procured it another way easily enough. I'd say he has…

That's a good guess. They did mention the tribal police at least twice.

@avclub-7a5a3fe4ae33de425d06ac4fe8d097d2:disqus : Strangely enough, I think we saw some real personal growth in Walter this episode. He actually admitted to having made a mistake. I don't think we've ever seen him say anything like "I screwed up" before, at least not sincerely.

There is computer data from the Apollo moon missions that can only be recovered because some of the engineers on the project saved paper printouts as souvenirs.

"I just can't explain it. Our diagnostic equipment is state of the art, manufactured by Madrigal Elektromotiv, over in Germany. They're a very reputable company."

There's no way they could have resisted filming that scene.

Yeah, my take on Saul is that the small-time ambulance chaser persona is actually protective coloration, a way to convince the authorities that he's nothing special and opposing counsel to drop their guard. Whenever he's shown actually practicing law he seems to be completely on top of his game. I'm probably…

Hank said he bought the first one, the one he had Walter plant on Gus' Volvo, from Sky Mall.

And black again in the two flash forward segments we've seen.

There have been a few writing lapses this season that have really bugged me.

And just the slightest bit paunchy, too.

I'd say the question as to whether Megan is supposed to be a good actress has been settled once and for all. She couldn't even maintain the character's French accent.

Pete's worldview is a lot like Nixon's, come to think of it. The same resentfulness and unwarranted sense of inferiority.

I didn't take it that way at all. I think he realized what he'd just implied about Peggy and tried to recover.

I suppose it's a reflection of Weiner's creative vision or interests, but I do think it's odd how little the space program is mentioned in the show. I was a kid during this period, and the way I remember it the country was more or less obsessed with every manned launch. In Mad Men there have been a couple of passing…
