Bob yelling is a beautiful thing indeed…

Just occurred to me there have been a lot of ladder scenes in this series… wonder if there's any significance?

I forget which episode it was — perhaps even the season opener — but there's one where Walt really seems to be losing it. He gets into an altercation with a police officer in one scene and in another he tries to throw a huge potted plant through Ted's office window, and I got the impression from that one that he was…

Shoshana a "creepo"?
I'm not sold on that idea. To me it seems like Shoshana advocates a merging of all the personalities, rather than wanting to be the dominate one after subsuming the others. I also think she's aware that she is an alter and that she's okay with that. Will there be a power struggle between the…

Wow, that would be a bummer. I like how Kate is maturing a bit, in a realistic way, I think (although I doubt the chances of meeting a regular dude, much less a handsome, suave, caring, rich dude, through something like the Princess V. H. wish list are very high in real life). I would hate to see her crushed like that.

Heretofore I've hated Chuddy, but in this episode, I bought it. Primarily, it was the brilliant acting — never have I seen Edelstein that effective. Usually I think she's a superfluous character . Cuddy looked like she hates loving House. She looked practically sickened by the fact she couldn't follow her brain…

I thought that Braugher's combativeness was explained in the beginning as that approach was the only one House would respect? That he wanted to be challenged in that way?

When I lived in Albuquerque, I loved El Pollo Asado, which was the same kind of restaurant as El Pollo Loco, but far superior to it. I loved how a couple of episodes back, they showed the family eating hamburgers from Blake's, which is the best regional hamburger chain ever, and they have TDF breakfast burritos, too.…

TV Orgies
"Throw all this in the midst of the saddest wannabe-orgy/Eyes Wide Shut theme party ever"…

Wasn't there a Red Dawn moment in there somewhere? Or is it just there subliminally, by virtue of the fact that Red Dawn uses lots of hackneyed tropes in the first place?

To me the real zinger was the followup — "she never finished the book."

Re: chugging the hard stuff… it would be interesting if they ended up showing how incredibly difficult it is to break an addiction to alcohol, which I understand is more difficult than Vicodin, but I may be misinformed on the topic. Still, it's rather counterintuitive and so would be a perfect subject for House… of a…

I can't predict who the caller was… all I can say for sure is that when the distorto-voice was on the line, I couldn't help but think of the Mr. Show sketch where Bob plays an inept kidnapper speaking to a child's father through a distortion device. "Change of plan… give me $10,000 or you'll never see my toe again."…

What's interesting is that I always assumed that Bell and Sharp were romantically involved, but I don't know why. Maybe it was all subliminal.

When I want to feel like a strong woman, I pretend to be Jackie Brown.

I agree — I was seriously worried the writers were killing off Boyd, because that would mean no more Goggins. At one point, the other inmates had him pinned to the wall in a semi-crucifix position. While it would be very interesting to see Raylan's reaction to Boyd's death —seeing as the inmates attacked him because…

It's the puppy dog eyes.

I enjoyed this episode far more than any other this season. It seemed emotionally realistic — the giddy first love thing paired with the realization that they don't really know each other all that well — while being spy-ly unrealistic in the best way. Okay, so the handcuffed together fight scene was cribbed from a…

Peon — Yes! I think Jeffster were wearing turtlenecks, too, weren't they? I thought they were doing a Simon and Garfunkel homage, oddly not set to a S & G song… guess they couldn't get the rights.

I was thinking more of perhaps Fring might plan to take Jesse under his wing, once he gets rid of Walt (or at least that it might be a contingency plan of his). Jesse, without ties to Albuquerque, friends, or family, would probably a lot more inclined to do things like go cook out in the middle of the Mexican desert…
