Walt is only like Scarface in that he wishes to make a lot of money selling drugs. Aside from his woman in green reverie in the pilot, we've never seen him lust after a woman other than is attractive but un-glamorous wife (I think Anna Gunn is quite sexy—she even has a sexy name). We've never seen him lust afterf

Fastandsloppy: Brits say "Oi!" Jews say "Oy!"

Um, at least two people in the movie cop to getting the monkey (yeah, I know—ape) high. I read it in the review on Slate.

Chimps are no worse than we are, only many times stronger—which pretty makes them the worst things imaginable.

It might take a while—those ass babies can be stubborn and put up one hell of a fight.

And he also made false teeth.

And "smart" white girls all say: "Don't mind if I do!"

Someone should point out, of course, hat greek Wedding was itself a piece of shit.

I thought it just means he did it in the butt.

I like it, too. I assume it means to attempt to work out one's obsessions.

Dispatch Warlock and Ajax to bring back his body!

Yeah, that's good stunt-casting. I see Julian Sands played him, too—not bad…

Half-Nope (the soccer coach plot feels like what the show would have been if Fox picked it up), Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope and Nope…

Jor-El is God to Kal-El's Christ in the Superman mythos—he has to be played by a heavy hitter; even Lois & Clark had sense enough to cast David Warner, nerd-dom's Olivier. Who played him on Smallville? Guess I'll Google it…

"Crap" like Nurse Jackie (and it isn't really a very good show, though Falco, Wever, Best and Smith keep me tuning in) is catnip to an actress—Edie Falco gets to play Tony, only this time Tony is the unabashed hero(ine). I'll bet 100 quatloos that Falco much prefers playing Jackie to playing Carmela.

joebronx, to quote Bobby Bacala: "I'm in awe of you."

"I also think that, like sex, even bad sopranos is great stuff."

The best thing about Carmela was that David Chase used her to express a really deep strain of misogyny and yet many women loved the character.

As for Junior interrupting the dance, it was almost sweet how Junior tried—in vain—to protect Bobby from Janice.

As has been pointed out, season 4 was the first season a lot of watched in "real time" rather than on home video in marathon sessions. That and the newly muted tone of the show (it even looks different—season 1, 2 and 3 are brighter and sharper, with more contrast) threw a lot of viewers for a loop.
