Gus Fring already received this treatment through flashback on Breaking Bad, but they didn't go back far enough for the blankest slate, Tio Salamanca. We saw how that voiceless rage in a wheelchair emerged from the brutal Mexican cartel culture, and how it impacted the young "cousins," but I want to learn about the…

Huh? Seriously? Who are you people? Was this discussion performance art? If so, please claim credit.

Hey, that guy in the restroom when Saul was on the phone: was he on one of the Most Wanted posters?

I won't get started on Jonathan Chait, whose essay is 90% unassailable yet stands completely in the tradition of an establishment bent on shutting down dissent. He is a hack and a poor poster-boy for anti-anti-intellectualism.

@Lasagna42:disqus, how on earth do you conclude that anti-intellectualism is a small minority affliction? Or that there is a "current resurgence" that is unlikely to last? Perhaps you could make a case that this particular message board is unusually intellectual, but it seems outrageous to claim that society-at-large…

Here I stand; I can do no otherwise.

Hey, worms are soft and mushy, a favorite of the anti-dentites.

I hope Gilligan gives us one more scene with Jimmy trying to exit the garage with inadequate validation stickers. I am dying to see how Mike plays it at this point.

I also hear Luther never visited a dentist.

Until now, Craig Kettleman was conflated in my mind with Ted Chaough. Then McGill managed to replace that for a moment with a juxtaposition of Edward Norton and Ned Flanders. But he then pulled the great Michael Hogan into the mix with the "parachute down from Cloud Cooperland" reference. My head spun. Who was that…

The House in which a Tywin named his son Tyrion? Tyler-Tyrel-Tylen would fit right in, and none of them are dwarves, so I would go with it.

You are an offensive anti-aidentite.

Agreed. Next week should open with Dr. Creepy having a chance to heroically (partially) redeem himself. Perhaps the Alexandrians will prove measured and intelligent enough to provide a "civilized" solution that doesn't involve executing the man (and losing his services). Is that really the only solution?

Oh, it is on Amazon? Uh, regarding my OP rant, nevermind.

Does anyone here actually watch this on "Pivot?" If I relied on the availability of "Pivot," I would be SOL. I didn't even know the show existed until I stumbled on the Episode 7 review, and didn't know about this "Pivot" until just now.
