@avclub-d980b15d49101608dc407770f35b1d75:disqus : Plan Purple is already being implemented - they're just trying to keep him docile for the engagement right now.

Gilligan does love his misdirects, but I take that scene at face value - it would ultimately detract from the meaning it gave the season that followed it if that wasn't the case, and anyway Walt had surely just driven twenty-some hours - he had no reason to fib to the waitress about that since plenty of people have…

Kevin Smith is loyal to his friends, to a fault.

Finally, a serious thread! Walt is definitely attempting to talk him into/out of leaving town - probably the former, since knowing Hank was onto him would make him panic completely.

That mini-series was the last great thing Miller ever did. I read it when I was fifteen and the Matt and Elektra stuff rang true.

Aw, shucks.

Can't wait for the revelation that the guy who just tried to poison Obama got the idea from the show…you know it's coming.

There was also a Supreme Court decision against the IRA earlier this afternoon, and trashcan explosives are definitely their style.

Oh yeah, that was definitely the rood of his sadism. He loathed Theon for being a legitimate prince and reversing their original roles was his way of asserting his new identity once he wasn't a Snow anymore.

The first rule of gelded club is you don't talk about gelded club, @avclub-9ce04591654645426079a7c2faa385e4:disqus .

Yeah, I was thinking about that awhile back…it would be such a magnificent mind fuck to just film his half dozen final scenes there in Croatia and show them over the next few years, life after death.

Remember this?

@avclub-34a0cc9e710ab7fc376d918356d4a6e5:disqus : Yeah…tipping.

And Winterfell up in smoke!

She divorced him because he couldn't get it up anymore, basically.

Don't forget "I could live comfortably in Winterfell, but my duty calls!"

Tasted great though.

Not bad. Shall we make a thread out of it? There's a lot of stuff out there, the most famous is probably The Swords song about the Night's Watch:
