I'd like to think that this episode was the show's statement on its growing dependence on songs. They're not all great, and it increasingly seems like they're getting stretched too thin, but the fans demand it rabidly and who wouldn't like the rush that comes with a successful musical moment?

"Not being dead" is quite the bar to set.

Is it just me or does Better Call Saul hurt Breaking Bad for anyone else? I was never crazy about the latter but after learning more about Jimmy and Mike, their ultimate downfall at the hands of that narcissistic asshole, who gets the chance to go out on his own terms at the end, is a real twist of the knife.

I'll let the NYT break it down: http://www.nytimes.com/2015…

In the spectrum of Chilean cinema, this has seemingly less in common with Larrain's earlier output (coup/dictatorship movies are their own genre) then it does with the upcoming Much Ado About Nothing, which is another "ripped from recent headlines" movie. Pope Francis even came out and stood up for a disgraced Chilean…

Marijuana activists are going to be pissssssssed.

Soooo A Better Life with white people?

Maybe they could grow mustaches and start wearing guayaberas.

They have white guys playing Cruz and Rubio.

God damn, there are more than two races. #OscarsSoWhite is not just about black filmmakers.

Does Clueless count?

Oh, you know, Bill Murray shows up. No biggie.

This movie doesn't get enough credit for being scary as hell.

Chilean to the rescue.

As far as issues that the Oscars need to address, recognizing documentaries outside of their own ghetto (there's that word again!) is not very high on the list.

One brief mention of Lalo Alcaraz and no mention of Gustavo Arellano. Really?

Cleary is a hustler and he hustled his way into her arms.

So is Eddie Redmayne going to cameo?

Does this mean that she's not going to be explaining why Christopher Abbott and Alfred Molina are playing Afghans in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

It's not about explaining comedy, it's explaining how these jokes aren't racist AF.
