By the way, if you make a point of looking for tonal similarities to The X-Files when watching Breaking Bad, you won't be disappointed. For one thing, imagine any of Skyler's deadpan/exasperated lines (like "do you REALLY expect me to answer that?") as Scully lines.

Pretty sure tonight had the show's first (hopefully not last!) X-Files reference: Hamlin makes reference to the Marx Brothers bit where they do a dance on opposite sides of a mirror, which is actually recreated in one of the "Dreamland" episodes after Mulder has switched bodies with… Michael McKean!

I keep reading all this stuff about Harris and it keeps hitting me all over again that he's dead, I hate it

Yeah I think Amy Winehouse maybe fucked me up a little more than this, but this feels a lot more like I lost someone I actually knew

I remember him talking on that ep, I think it was that one, about mixing benzos and alcohol, and I actually yelled at the car radio "don't do that!"

I'm really sorry about your friend

Yeah that's what killed Gram Parsons, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and I think Amy Winehouse though in her case alcohol not heroin

Ahahahahaha what the FUCK is going on there, who took that, why… just why

Scott seemed to have such an older brother relationship to him, idk that's just how it came off to me, I know whenever he does make any kind of statement I'm really gonna break down

I'm gonna be sobbing through the entire finale

And "Practice Date" with the iconic titular scene

My husband and I have been crying and hugging a lot, he was our age and god it just feels like you know all these podcast people, you hear so many inside jokes, and in Harris' case you hear about things like addiction struggles

Just came here to ask if there was a post somewhere about it that maybe I'd missed

When was their computer game thing? That was mostly just them though Frank got in on it too

I loved all the meta stuff! Talking about how they've gotten so elaborately weird, and they got weirder when Frank showed up, on the other hand there were hints from the start with the underage drinking thing

Yeah they only used Bryan Cranston, they just put him in really shadowy lighting

Yeah I have no idea! I mean if Bob Odenkirk is playing Saul as the same age as him, then in 2002 he was 39 or 40. And despite what I said above I do think he reasonably pulls off playing someone that age, I just think there's a difference between him playing that age now and him how he actually looked then. And…

The explanation he gives is that his clients want a Jewish lawyer

At least with being set in the past Saul has an excuse for not going, as I did at one point, "oh, they Gone Girled themselves"

Not that there's anything that can be done about it, but it's always a little funny/awkward when they show you an actor (two in this case) playing a much younger version of their character, only everyone knows what that actor looked like at that age and this wasn't it
