Oh she feels guilt — she knocked over the barrel of water! It's not like she just spilled a small jug of water. It was a whole barrel.

As usual, though, they changed something cool from the comic and made it worse. Tyreese's actions in the comic were way more badass, because we know he killed something like 50 walkers armed with only a hammer, and then had to spend a full day locked in the room with those corpses, and then he just strolls out like…

Well, if my understanding of TV tropes are correct, Carol's actions are medically indefensible. By that I mean there's no way the writers will kill off all three of Glenn, Herschel, and Tyreese's sister (name?) during this story arc. So, we can deduce that the virus is treatable, and that the mortality rate will be…

It's a plot device. Just pretend that the show employs a medical consultant and that Tyreese & Co. are heading to the vet's office to pick up whatever medication would cure symptoms like these. The actual medication has no bearing on the plot.

Oblivion was pretty good if you liked Moon's basic premise, but disliked its humanistic take on the subject matter, its nuanced performances, and its lack of CGI explosions and Tom Cruises.

Have you seen old episodes of In Living Color lately? It hasn't aged well. Because network TV was never able to deal directly with racial humor before the early 90's, the show seemed much more groundbreaking when it first aired than it really was. But the show never featured any real insights — nearly every sketch…

I think it all depends on how long they intend for the show to run. The five seasons of Breaking Bad cover exactly 2 years of time, and Saul works with Walt for about 18 months of that time. So if they're only planning on making three or four seasons of Better Call Saul, they could end the first season finale with…

Walt never actually called the Vacuum Cleaner Minivan Guy back in Crawl Space.  He got the contact info from Saul, made him promise to call in a threat to Hank, and then we cut to Walt frantically trying to collect the money in the crawl space.  He was probably planning on making the call afterwards.  No indication…

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus — Bullshit.  Not even hardcore fans defend Dexter or True Blood at this point.

@avclub-d6eab33032ebeb4e1f8a5891a29427df:disqus — Hank didn't actually trace Walt's cell phone, did he?  I figured he just followed him from the car wash.  There are other DEA agents in the loop on this, just because he has security posted on Huell and there were a few extras in the van last episode.  But that doesn't…

@avclub-8b59528c5bbf7073061271c79ba0e1e0:disqus — That's why this is the best television show ever; even when there are weaknesses in the storytelling, there are usually multiple avenues for defending the narrative.  The idea that Hank wasn't content to let the DEA arrest Walt is totally consistent with his character.

Those are some good points, but in the show's defense, they kind of addressed some of these issues with that threatening DVD that Walt made a few episodes back.

If Walt had mentioned there were two DEA agents closing in on him, then he knows Jack will assume he's about to turn rat and have him shanked in his cell.  Jack's done that before.  Or, Jack might do what he wound up doing, and come anyway to kill the DEA agents and secure his prize cook.

The scene was a masterpiece of suspense because we all know Jack's crew is coming, we just don't know exactly when.  So every line that Hank says becomes "really sad last words."

The ironic thing is that Walt really had nothing up his sleeve during Hank and Gomie's sting operation.  The bald dude in the leather jacket was just playing with his daughter, and Walt really just wanted to talk.  He'd have incriminated himself all over the wire and they could have picked him up.

From Jack & Crew's point of view, there's no reason to let Hank and Gomie live.  They identified themselves as DEA agents.  But they're also out in the desert in the middle of nowhere with no visible backup (and indeed, the DEA doesn't even know they're out there).  If Jack's crew kills them and buries them in the…

Well, Hank could have followed Jesse to his appointment with the vacuum cleaner guy, then followed him back to Saul's office.  Hank's not in too much of a rush to save Saul's life, so maybe he only got out of his car once he saw Jesse with the gasoline jugs.

The parents of that kid Todd shot might care.  And, you know, Todd has killed a number of other people, cooked hundreds of pounds of meth, robbed a train, and has deep ties to Aryan Brotherhood prison gangs.  Lydia is now an international drug kingpin who can be connected to about 25 murders.  Saul has laundered…

He can also give up Saul, Lydia, and Todd.

But that's the thing — there *isn't* an immediate danger to the child.  Neither Skyler nor Walt has been convicted of any crime.  I mean, Marie knows what they've been up to, but she didn't see Skyler pick up an axe and try to kill Holly or anything like that.  She just knows what Hank told her.  Marie would have to…
