Cursing at people aside, it was only okay in my opinion. Great performances, but otherwise nothing too special. Particularly, the baseball aspect was very heavy-handed, one-sided, and simplified.

Man, at least claim that a *good* movie was stolen from you in a vast conspiracy.

Spoken in true moneyball fashion.

I'm gonna give Paul the benefit of the doubt that this and SNL are his last hurrah as Jesse. God I hope I'm right.

I thought of "the 'I didn't do it' kid."

More in the Heisenberg way than the paternalistic WW way.

Yeah, but he would probably opt for a more historically accurate higher voice than what we usually imagine Wookiees sounding like.

Many, many, many times.

It was the show kids deserved, and also the one they needed.

I hate to be that guy, but if you read the book, you'll quickly learn that was not at all the case.

"I’m Proud Of You" is a phenomenal book, for what it's worth.

Hmm, you've got some good points.

Why do you think we never saw Walt's mom?

You have a point. Maybe anti-hero is too strong a word.  Simply "protagonist" would suffice.

I did think of the same example. But what disqualifies it, in my opinion, is that I feel he thinks of Peggy as an extension of himself. Peggy was HIS secretary, HE discovered her talent, and she became one of HIS people (even if that's largely untrue, he believes it to be true). But when the time came for Don to give…

To be perfectly honest? Don Draper is pretty awful by most standards. Though he might be turning the corner, there is very little he's ever done that has been genuinely good and deserving of praise.

Funny that Walt got shot on the right side of his torso. Pretty blatant.
