Friday: Elysium. Pretty enjoyable, but the script is meh.

But more Hannah means more Yvonne Strahovski. We must be willing to consider tradeoffs.

Well that's the reverse angle. Even in season 2 of Dexter, as in "when it was good", there's still a great gulf between it and current BB:

Don't forget the subplot involving Huell having sex with Skyler, Jane, Andrea, Lydia, and basically every other female who's ever been on camera (except Marie, because she's Breaking Bad's Rita). He will then inevitably have relationship problems with them, which will make him very unhappy.

If Dexter doesn't realize what time it's on, then maybe its best course of action is to tread lightly.

Agreed. Hank's punch was extremely cathartic, but he'd only wanted to punch him for two days. Everyone in the offices of SCDP had wanted to punch Pete in the face for the better part of a decade.

DS9 was the strongest, most character-driven Trek series with the best overall story, but it's still not Breaking Bad.

Does this lead to a basement full of Chekovs? Or even more excitingly, a basement full of Badgers?

The homeless guy was pondering what it would be like to live in a world without Coca-Cola.

"Now what's for breakfast?"

Walt himself maybe, in his latest egotistical fit?

Early Season 2, I think. I was thinking that Walt's Chrysler was going to run over the car.

Will the spinoff take place before or after, though?

Todd wasn't even in the episode, though he's presumably cooking for Lydia now, which is why the product quality has dropped. My suspicion is that he's going to end up killing a major character to save Walt.

I was hoping Walt would smile, his face muscles contorted with rage, and say "DO IT".

That staredown wide shot may be my new favorite moment in the show.

It was alright. Maybe B to B- territory. Good action, good performances, impeccable effects and production design, kind of a lousy script. The story makes a base amount of sense, but there's no real larger themes here that are more than window dressing. One-dimensional villains as well (then again, District 9 also had…

I noticed shaky cam in the opening scene as well, before the action even started.

I would totally be down for a Richard III pre-final-battle-style ending, where Walt is still alive, but all of his ambition and ego have been for naught. He's driven away or caused the death of everyone in his life with his hubris and atrocities. With only that gun from the flashforward from the season 5 opener and…

I am now imagining Michael Fassbender grabbing his junk and rage-bellowing "Restrain this!" in his Irish lilt.
