In a later season, Don and Layne go to see a Gamera movie at least a year too early.

"Solution" as a business or branding title/slogan, as in "KFC - your fried chicken solution!" or "Kirkman and Cruz - your personal injury attorney solutions!"

For me it was these 70's and 80's tv movies they were always showing on CBS late night.
Gargoyles ('73) - the attack on the old man's shed
Salem's Lot - the grave digger scene
Dark Night of the Scarecrow - the reveal at the end
Don't Go to Sleep - Jennifer smiling at the foot of the bed
and, yes,
Snowbeast - Snowbeast peers

My ten year old self was very unsettled by the scene afterwards where the on-site anchorwoman is asking, "Am I gonna be all right?" or some such.

For me, it was when the crying babysitter is locked in the closet; Margot Kidder looks out the window and sees the red eyes of her daughter's "friend".

For a minute, I thought Giligan and Co. were playing "Gotcha;"  at first, Walt is low-key, reasonable, and family-oriented negotiating with the Schwartzes.  Then the laser beams appeared, and I thought that Walt was going to be full-on Heisenberg for the rest of the show and rampage about with the M60.  That the rest

You know the legend will only grow;  a fat-ass Cadillac with an automated M60 in the trunk wipes out those who crossed him?  There's no way that's not getting out.

If you go by the editing, a bullet pings through a pool table score marker (and then Walt visibly flinches).  It must have ricocheted or been shrapnel.  Or he fell on his keys.

Also, he's about dead, so if it doesn't work out, so what?

Yeah, Walt Jr. is not Walt, so how he deals with the money is likely a potential problem, not a boon.

Walt approached the Schwartzes and it seemed the show was going to proceed low key and sentimental.

Funny bit of continuity:  it looks like the overhead shot, of the post M-60 aftermath, is flipped.  The left to right orientations are backwards (look at the positions of the black and white chairs, and the positions of the bodies).

I have seen the same response (laughter) at both 2001 and A Clockwork Orange theater screenings recently, in the most inappropriate scenes.  Sometimes it is the shock of recognition, because they are cultural touchstones;  sometimes it is because scenes play completely differently in a theater on the big screen with

I was concerned about this, too, but so far VG seems to have steered correctly.

Saul is kind of in this group too, I think, though not of the physical type.

You better skip next week's episode.

I have complete confidence Gilligan and Co. will wrap this up next Sunday in a satisfying conclusion, but something I wonder about more and more is this:  he and his writers and contributors are all insanely talented, seem like nice and thoughtful people (at least on the insider podcasts), and have managed to keep

For like the split second before I recognized Robert Forster, I thought that was Charlie Rose playing the Disappearer.  And thought, "Well, … OK"

The cold open of the Saul spin-off/prequel will be Saul purchasing an M60 in the Cinnabon parking lot sometime in the future; speculation will be he's going after Walter White for ruining his life.

I'm guessing he never goes back to the cabin and uses the box money to head back to ABQ.  It's been suggested the $100 waitress tip at Denny's was all he had left.
