They go out of their way to make every sex scene unpleasant and creepy.

Dear lord, please let Winnie have her own season. She is So. Damned. Cute.

Originally, there was going to be a real liquor in that scene for a product placement deal, but there were no takers because of the poisoning aspect. Ever since then the fake placeholder liquor has been a running gag for Gilligan and co.

I took that scene to mean that Hector's condition really is getting worse, but it's not quite debilitating yet.

The Lord of the Rings is an apt reference, given that the show is currently set in early 2003, just a few months after The Two Towers came out.

I'm blanking out here. When did she have an affair that the public knew about?

That's because they never mention the clinical depression.

There were political reasons for a Mediterranean invasion too. It would allow Britain and the US to take Eastern Europe, cutting off the Soviet Union's territorial gains.

Or Albert Finney.

GOLD dildos, you uncultured trash-urchin.

A thematic element they stole from At the Mountains of Madness, by H.P. Lovecraft.

She would make a terrific protagonist for her own season.

He was in Boardwalk Empire and Silver Linings Playbook.

Yes. Vince Gilligan and company have said that the show is set in 2002, about six years before the start of Breaking Bad.

True, but the WAY he escaped the Nazis wasn't particularity dramatic or interesting (Basically he was living outside of Germany when Hitler came to power and he declined to go back)

Yes, but when MS MR sings that they have "Just faith I’ll pass 27" I think it has other implications then the normal twenty-something angst that the writer trots it out to support.

Southland Tales goddamn it!

You forgot that in the musical world, age 27 has some ominous connotations.

Given all the subtle shoutouts Arrested Development makes to The Godfather, I think a prequel chapter would be very fitting.
