Yeah, it's a fine line, but deep down, to me, that decision was based on him letting himself be that bad guy. Walt's "best interests" were then, and have been ever since he made the dumbfuck decision to cook crystal meth, would be to turn himself in, not let a twenty year old druggie choke out on vomit three feet in…

The funny thing is, the 28 Days Later set-up is actually lifted from John Wyndham's  The Day Of The Triffids, a classic sci-fi novel which just so happens to be about attempts to rebuild society in the face of a worldwide apocalypse. (In this case, it's a meteor shower that turns everybody blind, and the hero wakes up…

Yeah, for me, Kirkman's weaknesses fit far too neatly into my personal pet peeves, hence inadvertent screeds like the post above. There's some good stuff in the series; I just had a hard time seeing it.

So many zombie stories are escapist fictions, in which a few protagonists get to leave behind all the detritus of civilization and enter a world that’s perversely both harder and easier. There’s a constant threat, but it makes things simple and black-and-white, especially since the bad guys aren’t people, and aren’t…

Yeah, it really does seem to be when the Heisenberg persona became Walt's dominant personality—which isn't to say he can excuse himself via multiple personality disorder, just that all that anger and arrogance he'd been letting loose finally took over. To me, the look on his face at the end of "Say My Name" is the…

Todd writes the 100 Episodes articles, Noel does the Very Special Episode articles. You can tell the difference between by the fact that Todd's write-ups are great, and Noel's write-ups are also great.

Yeah, I'm with you, Donna. Walt's tragic mistake in the arc of the series has been letting his rage drive his decision making process; it's what drove him to start cooking meth, it's what cost Jane her life, it's what made him go out and shoot the dealers before Jesse could (partly that was an attempt to save Jesse's…

I can't believe I forgot to mention that. It was… memorable.

I think I'm okay; I am, however, curious/terrified what your standards for "grotesque" and "hilarious" are.

Yeah, I've got all of them on my iPod, so that'll happen at some point.
