You should probably reconsider your life choices.

I'm excited too, but that says more about the emptiness of my life than the goodness of this shitty show. I think you'd find the same thing within yourself if you looked deeper.

Wow, brilliant job noticing that. I'm blown away. I think you are 100% correct here and shows that Vince Gilligan had a fully cognized theory of how you make a character interesting: give them some gray matter. Walt has Gray Matter, Saul has Ignaucio, Mike has Philly, Gus has Chile. You've made my week.

I enjoyed the procedural shit in The Shield. If they could have shrunk everything into, like five seasons instead of seven, and completely deleted the existence of Glenn Close, then it would have been perfect.

It's a sensitive issue. The best thing in the world happened and some people are like "hey, it kinda sucks they cured cancer, now we don't get those pink ribbon magnets on the cars anymore." Seething hatred is the only appropriate response.

Yeah I've always wanted a Boogie Nights style movie/series about pro wrestling.

Yes. The movies are shit. Never liked em.

Also, Saul's reference to Ignaucio, and Walt's Grey Matter past. Can anyone think of any others?

Philistine fuck. Don't you dare casually speak ill of The Sopranos ending.

The tone in Skyler's voice as she screams "I don't know!" in response to Walt pressing her plans is unspeakably brilliant.

All of Saul's moments are by far my favorite. "They were my A-team!" Just like The Sopranos, a good drama's funny moments are way funnier than any pure comedy could ever dream of. "The amazing thing about snakes…"

And had no strong ethical comportment. I would rather kill myself than make meth. Now, had I grown up in a different scenario, that wouldn't be the case. But that is a silly scenario, because had I grown up differently, I'd be a different person.

@avclub-d9f98704e1610e7073dbee992ee1f381:disqus  That's probably because you've succumbed to the mediocrity of late-era America.

Yep, and just those two. Fuck those other horror shows.

Plot wise, the ending doesn't matter, the author of this article is correct. We all know how Breaking Bad deals with plot: obvious, satisfying things happens. Walt will die. He was given a diagnosis of TERMINAL lung cancer in the pilot. The only reason we care about the plot is because it will bring out the themes,…

Why this is unimportant was addressed in the article. Reread please. It was actually a good article, shock of all shocks.

@avclub-c156902f5b20b572848be18c11634dfb:disqus Everything is meaningful, even jokes. If it wasn't made to be taken seriously, then the seriousness of the world will be even more instantiated in it. Love your "end of story" attempts to cut off thinking though, cute.

Hell yes, thank you for being a human and noticing this. Colbert is not some rebel. He wears a suit, and not ironically.

There's a difference between calculated promotion and looking for shit to do to make a bit work. Come on. Interrupting other shows is a celebrated meme in American comedy and is not about promotion.

No it didn't. Colbert had to kiss his ass a bit to get in the video. It was gross.
