Wait… I despise W., but how is this going into American Crime Story? Also, what's the deal with Ryan Murphy? I don't understand how he can be more than peripherally involved with this many projects.

We all do. He's a national treasure. Nicholas Cage should do the next movie about searching for Titus.

I don't want the Americans to go away! 2018 is coming too soon! We need a Better Call Saul style sequel focusing on Henry and Page's seriocomic efforts to undermine America for the FSB in Trump's America! Takers?

Goddamn, I'm going to miss this show when it's gone. In a room by myself, I stifled a shout when Elizabeth killed John - because it was moving and shocking, yes. But more because the show did something so creative to resolve the scene. To my mind, Elizabeth mercy-killed John for Philip. Extremely weird, and yet…

Doesn't that cut both ways, though? If you never watched Breaking Bad, BCS is probably more suspenseful. And I imagine the Mike storyline plays out completely differently.

And Kaylee Ehrmentraut is Dorian Grey!

Very very fair point.

That was a LOT of cameos. So much that I wondered if it was a production decision - i.e., maybe it was easier to get Tyrus, Victor, and Lydia in on that day?

Mary Tyler Moore is the principal author of this claim - http://m.imdb.com/name/nm00….

Not unless you're Eric Trump.

I would have gone with Damian Lewis.

I honestly don't know if you're joking or not. The right has gone so crazy that they're in the Tyson Zone.

"Matthew has been staring at me all day and I love it."

Coming from a dharmic religious background, I always cringe when people tell me that humans are the last step before enlightenment. I would think that means we're never getting there.

Right? The best part is how much drama got produced in so few locations. I rewatched McKean's monologue at the end - masterful. It's all him and camera closing in.

That was the radium.

Oh yes. So great. What was the episode name? I'm worried I'm gonna re-watch the whole thing. Thinking back on it, that might have been one of the best show-runs from beginning to end that I've ever seen.

Man, I can't even remember what happens next? He's in the barn silo and then…?

Yes, the banter is so awful and for the reasons you say. It's not that their comments are dumb, it's that the dynamic is so artificial!

It's fun to remember that the cast of that show called it "Penis van Lesbian" off-set.
