It is funny they use the word "famously" when the writer apparently didn't know about it. Not so famous, then, huh?

I like the idea of Jesse Pinkman, DEA.

Great movie, of course, and this may be heresy, but I thought the Mel Brooks remake was actually pretty good.

That's a decent idea. Really, the only major character who hasn't found out the real truth about Heisenberg is Walt Jr. That has to happen soon (we have four episodes, and based on the flash-fowards, the truth gets out before the end), so it's quite likely that Jesse's plan will either involve that, or cause that

Hank's declaration about Jesse was probably the most memorable part of that episode. It is clearly a plot point. Now, the show could just drop it, but it seems likely to go two ways from a plot perspective:

I think if this show is kind of a cancer metaphor. Like a chemical reaction, Walt's rottenness has spread and infected all who he comes into contact with.

Well, Vince Gilligan did offer to tell that child with the life-threatening illness the end. That kind of implies there is an end. You couldn't really do that with an open-ended conclusion like that. (For instance, you couldn't say: Well, kid, Tony Soprano is eating onion rings and the scene fades to black.)

Well, I don't want to rehash the "hate Skyler" argument, because I don't hate fictional characters, but I am reacting to how that scene came off in the show. In that scene, she knows 1) a guy has burst into her home, threatening her family, and 2) she can't call the police about it. Given those two things, her request

It is pretty clear that Hank is acting out of pure rage and emotion right now, which is why he keeps screwing up, and why he does things like disregard Jesse's safety. For now, it's all about getting Walt, at the exclusion of all else. Still, since S1 Hank has been a decent character, and I don't think the writers

While it may not be a bromance, H and J are working together, likely going off Jesse's plan, and Hank will likely gain affection for him. Everyone who hangs out with Jesse in cars does!

It was pretty obvious that S4 would end with a Gus vs. Walt showdown, and it did.

My thoughts on where this is going:

I'm pretty certain that tonight:

The porpoise is laughing.

The Byrds didn't always play on their records either.

Good one.

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band covered this song, and some blues purists used to complain the Monkees "stole" their song (which was written by Nesmith.)

YES. Sad there doesn't appear to be much Monkees on streaming.

Yeah, I still love it too.

There was a horror anthology during the 1980s, Darkroom, which had a segment, Uncle George, which has stayed with me ever since. It's pretty great …
