I loved the small detail of him stepping toward the wrong side of the door. Almost like a small reinforcement of the fact that he's an idiot, but it's sweet, in a way.

Yeah, @avclub-230e46d19fe78a6c8dc715659a7188d7:disqus has it right. One of the reasons why most North Americans don't realize that Hispanic / Latino is not a race and there are white, black, Native American, Asian Latinos, is that because of pretty ancient institutionalized racism in Latin America, white hispanics do…

@Malingerer Okay, I admit calling Gale a mere inconvenience was an understatement. But, still, killing someone who has done you no wrong just to preserve yourself is still pretty psychotic. I think almost any unselfish, non psychotic person with a conscience, if presented with Walt's choices, would just resign…

That's a fair point. I love "Futurama", but it bothers me that they have *some* continuity but then are completely inconsistent about certain things. But then again, I don't think I'd love the show as much as they didn't have any continuity at all.

The land of the jockeys thing! I'd forgotten about it, but I think that was the moment I stopped watching The Simpsons faithfully almost every sunday, despite the fact that I'd already begun to think the show wasn't as good several seasons before. As you say, it was just too much.

I doubt the show will have Hank realize that Walt is Heisenberg as something that happens off-screen.

@avclub-2b45eff9c8b89150444adfeb1802a86b:disqus  I hope you at least think Walt deserves to die as much as Gale then, since he's a meth cook too. What I don't understand is when people —and I'm not saying you are among them— seem to think both that Walt cooking meth makes him awesome and an antihero, AND ALSO that him…

Walt already had a reasonably innocent* person murdered just because they were an inconvenience to him, so I would say he has crossed that line. And that's the reason I'm not sure Walt is redeemable any longer. I don't think I want a happy ending for him when the series ends. OK, or maybe I'm fine with him doing…

BIG SEASON FINALE SPOILER

By the way, the condescending tone of the comment was accidental. I'm honestly interested in hearing other people's opinions about this. I might be wrong.

A lot of people keep posting about how CK could probably afford that $17 million house
Are they serious? CK is at the level of comedians like Chris Rock in terms of respect or renown among his peers, but he hasn't had that level of success money-wise. What part of CK's work do you suppose has made him a…

This is embarassing.

"Looks like we're getting a mythology episode."
I may be misremembering, but I don't think you'll see such a thing as an exclusively mythology-related episode in Veronica Mars, aside from the episodes in which a main mystery is finally solved. Every other episode has a stand-alone mystery, with new clues, twists,…

I've never really gotten why people get so annoyed or upset about characters being missing from episodes. In any given episode, we see about 45 minutes of a two- or three-day span of Veronica's life, and that's if she is in every scene (which she usually isn't). Why is it so difficult to believe that some characters,…

One of the reasons why it was great that Wallace never showed any feelings for Veronica (aside from avoiding the overdone trope) was that the plot constantly required Veronica to take advantage of him / ask him for favors, which would have made Veronica unlikable if Wallace had had feelings for her. As it is, some…

Sure, a lot of horrible things have happened to Veronica, but most of them are already in the past, and while they completely affect the plot and who the character is, the show doesn't frequently dwell on them after the pilot, except when they are relevant to the immediate plot. For example, most of Veronica's…

Why wasn't VM more popular?
VM is one of those rare good shows that I honestly wonder why it wasn't a hit. With shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad, I can see why they aren't the average person's taste. But VM is a show that, while it has the quality to attract adults with good taste, its genre, characters, humor,…
