I kind of liked John's design because it reminded me a lot of a golden age of book design — it was sorta mid-century modern looking… like, late 1940s, early 50s, maybe. Still, I only kind of liked it. And Darby, I was also dismayed at the incredibly lackluster typography (or hand-drawn equivalents) on display from…

It's also about romance and gardens, according to Judith, right? Gardens!

I like Leverage, too, but it's a little too close to a much much better British series, Hustle. Hm, that's got awesomely cool theme music, too…

All the elements worked for me, actually. It reminded me a bit of how Justified handles various criminals' story lines, primarily in standalone episodes.

I remember from around that time that there were a ton of exploitation tv shows that would have footage from nanny cams, and there was one in particular that was practically identical to the one in the sketch.

My ex-hubby has that tee shirt from when we drove to Chicago to see their live show. I got the more understated "Titanica" tee: http://www.bobanddavid.com/…

Thank you Thank You Magistra! That's exactly what I was thinking of. Also, MamaMOMA, I add "D'OH!" to the things I should have said when commenting on this show — or better yet, just kept my keyboard shut entirely!

The key to finding Walk Hard amazingly funny is to watch the extended "self-indulgent" director's cut. I saw it in theaters and really liked it; saw the extended version and loved it like no other.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks Miles is a faker (whether for genius art world metacommentary or for hipster douchebaggery, depending upon the commenter's POV). As someone who suffers from chronic sleep deprivation, it sure looked genuine to me. If a person's not used to it, it can be very distressing, too, which may…

Yeah, Bob in particular is very hard on his work, both Mr. Show and what he's done since, any time I hear him in an interview. I always want to rub his back and say, easy there, fella, you're really a talented guy!

I've met the real Dr. Demento, who is a really gentle, smart, thoughtful, nice person with great taste in a wide variety of music, so that little part bugs me a little bit, but it doesn't keep me from laughing.

"Starburns" (that's Dino Stampolohnevermind) has a great silent turn in the sketch with the hunger-striking guru obsessed with food. The way he supports the weakened guru, the ultra sincere look on his face, it cracks me up more than David's business in that sketch.

I just google mapped it, and I used to live a couple of miles from there. I love how authentic the locations are on this show (and local color).

Walt is the one guy who knows how to cook the blue meth. In addition to his talents as a businessman, crime lord, and general, Fring is a great marketer (demonstrated by the classy commercial for his fast food chain). He clearly knows the power of branding, and blue meth is a very strong brand that already, although…

Much as I like Badger, I wouldn't really want to see him playing with himself. However, I would like to see the rest of the episode you describe.

Walt's begging for his life and Gale's were interestingly similar. I'm not sure if that's meant to be irony or not.

Future Tense, I had the same emotional and physical reactions to that scene. Amazing work. I mean, I've really liked Jesse's character throughout the show, even when he was at his most annoying, but Aaron Paul's skill in this scene blows me away.

Is it that Walt only cares about Walt, or is it that his hubris allows him to believe he can think his way out of any situation? Sometimes I feel like his continuing involvement in the meth business is due to the fact it's a true challenge for his intellect, which puffs up his ego. I think Walter needs it to feel like…

I'm with you guys — Walt was seizing the opportunity of Jesse knowing where Gale lived rather than giving Jesse up. I'm sure his own pleading for his life was from genuine fear, though… it's just that Walt has always been extremely fast on his feet and has always come up with life-saving plays at the last second.

I think you can see JB's flop sweat in this sketch, which is why it's not one of my faves — it strikes me as a bit creaky as a result.
