Gus is a control freak, so I think the fact that his lieutenant had memorized the cook without his say so and had the balls to try and make a batch on his own coupled with his complete fucking up of protecting Gail and sweeping the crime scene put him on the expendable list.

Glaring omission
I wish I could tell you things get better. Things don't get better. You get better.

Beautiful
This felt like the culmination of what South Park is all about. Having to deal with being smart/sad enough to see the shittyness in everything around you is a topic that doesn't get a fair shake too often and it's an issue that has become much more prevalent recently. I know I was disillusioned with

As much as I love this show
It is really kind of fitting that it is ending on such a high note. I just hope we get to hear the theme song one more time.

Figures
The day it gets cancelled is the day that it praises the virtues of pumpkinfucking.

I may still be riding high from seeing the Book of Mormon lask weekend
But may God rip off my arm and shove it up his butthole if South Park didn't just bowl a turkey with this new season. I can't remember three episodes this unique and hilarious in a row in a long time. And Book of Mormon pretty much made up for the

Also Olivia was buried at sea like an Other. And Peter was flashing through time.

Red vines + Mr Bishops = Crazy delicious
I forgot most of them due to the sheer amount of awesomeness that occurred, but I seem to remember a number of Lost references, most overtly Abbaddon's black and white eyes.

I did not get that vibe at all
Eddie Izzard watched Tara write a thorough and complex contract from six different points of view all over herself. I think he's just extremely cynical and can literally not believe what happens to Tara despite all evidence to the contrary and he just wants to see what the fuck happens

I am lost in it.
But I don't think I want to get out just yet.

First law of robotics
I loved Archer's unwillingness to let go of the idea they were fighting a robot army.

Next on
Actually in the preview for next weeks episode we discover that Eddie Izzard thinks DID is bunco psychology, which could make for a really good season.

Crazy awesome
I did guess that Walternate was behind the pregnancy (no way there was going to be a whole new group of bad guys) but I did not predict Lincoln and Charlie's reaction to it. It would be pretty fucking cool if they defected to team Earth 1.

Loney, I love your enthusiasm but I have to disagree. There is a big difference between trying to understand aspects of the universe that are beyond our comprehension and blindly accepting that there is a higher power governing our lives. As Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from

"Wait a second, this is my glove!"
This was one of the best eps of 30 Rock ever. Reality TV is an easy target, but they completely eviscerated the format while simultaneously using its tropes to tell an effective story, which is no easy feat. Kenneth's glove troubles in the midst of all the drama coming to a head had

I am really surprised no one has mentioned this
But I'm pretty sure we glossed over the fact that there was a parody of Eastern Promises, perhaps the most unspoofable movie ever.

I thought the tonal shifts were pretty central to the episode. The absurdity of Tina's predicament was a necessary counterbalance to how easily her reality disintegrated around her. Her inability to see the forest for the trees wasn't just played for laughs, it demonstrated that a person that society has deemed a

Casey, get me my juicebox!
This is hands down the best season of Chuck.

This show has gotten good
It was pretty great to see a character on TV who is truly selfless and has a sense of perspective. Daisy's smart enough to see all the bullshit for what it is and unlike Tony she uses her insight to help those around her instead of fucking with them. Skins is turning into a surprisingly deep

I Saw the Devil blows Oldboy out of the water, and I love Oldboy. Oh Dae Su goes places you never expect.
