Whoa. Let's have some deep breaths. "At some point" just means I'm not sure if it'll be next week or the week after. I like to leave the editors (and me) a bit of breathing room. (Also, thanks for reading!)

Yeah, there's really no build to the absurdity—it's just Cleese acting weird, some stuff about fruit, and then Chapman gets shot. The movie versions of most of the sketches just seem so much more conventional; the premises are generally clever enough that it's not a disaster, but it really underlines how important all…

It's true!

I've seen on message boards elsewhere that people are having a hard time believing Jesse could piece together such a complicated plan so quickly, or that they're frustrated Walt and Jesse's relationship would finally explode because of Huell and Saul being kind of dumb. But here's the thing: Jesse already knew. I…

If it helps, I was pretty tormented about the grade. (I'm _always_ tormented about Futurama grades. Also, weirdly, The Walking Dead, and they have nothing in common.) I still wouldn't have gone higher than an A-, but I did quite like this.

The best kind!

Vince Gilligan calls me every night. Super nice guy, and boy howdy does he spill the plot details.

Walt would never kill Skyler. If she dies, it'll be as fall-out from Lydia and Todd's Magic Murder Mystery Tour.

Skyler's stuck in an awful situation, something that becomes even more clear when Marie confronts her later in the episode; on one level, she knows how deep she is into Walt's business, and the idea of coming clean with that, of admitting to her family just how long she let this go on, must be incredibly painful. (I'm…

Definitely getting episode 13 next week. Thinking about following it up the week after with And Now For Something Completely Different, although I'll need to check with the bosses.

What makes this funnier is that I don't live in Chicago.

Even I have a limit to self-loathing.

And Now, For Those Of You Who Came In Late: coffee, trains, meta, JOKE, vomit, leprosy, murder, talking loudly in restaurants, not being seen, word, SPAM, pointless attempt to ape the brilliance of others, eel laden hovercraft, paintings on strike, my mother never loved me, but he has no arms!, spam, spam, spam, spam,…

I liked it too! I'm just trying to explain how it's different than other, more focused sketches; the loose, shaggy dog style really works.

_Nice_ catch.

You're right, and I'm a little embarrassed I forgot to bring that up.

Well, not -mid- '90s. I graduated from high school in '97.

I have never let age get in the way of my basic immaturity.

This tech was also a big appeal to my dad.

I was just thinking, "Man, it's weird how photos from the '80s look different." Then I remembered that I'm older than Todd, and I wasn't this age until the mid-90s, so way to be timeless, VanDerWerff.
