He does a killer version of the National Anthem.

Better. You're on the "8" Track.

Might be that unless yer rollin around in a Maybach, road noise severely limits the benefits of any hi-fi format over another. Then, portability takes high precedence.

See, but I dont agree that Walt/Heis ever set out to play it that way—-when he was acting all tough and macho, he certainly wasnt outwitting people, he was genuinely trying to intimidate or establish dominance. Later on, when confronted with true badasses like Mike and Gus and to a lesser extent, Hank, his little…

The point being is that had any of his adversaries not pitied the crying and whimpering badass, Walt/Heis would have been ended long before he ever got a chance to win.

Oh man, you blew it. Ted CLEARLY says "Iron Maiden?" before "Excellent!".

Good point. And looking back, that may have just been what the character of Walt and Heisenberg were intended to be.

But the only way he wins is at the mercy of others he supposedly *beats* later.

The thing that has always bothered me about the deification of Walt/Heisenberg as this "TV badass" is that when the going got tough you could usually find him getting beat up or pleading for his life on his knees.

Plus, she's as big as a house now on "Shades of Blue"!

Los Angeles Draft Dodgers?

Not as many as there used to be.

Mmmbop.

"WE are so SMART! We are so smart, S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T!"

Ha! I called it! Captain Raydor FTW!

Ehhh, he did that with the insurance people and Howard at the firm too, although he seemed to be less electrically sensitive at that time, due to therapy and still being a member of the firm.

Nah, I thought his illness returned largely because he was completely rejected and ostracized from his own firm—-because if it was about Jimmy being there, he wouldnt have been afflicted with the disease for the past 2+ seasons when he and Jimmy were still on good terms, and Jimmy was helping Chuck consistently.

I think there's a difference between what Chuck did to Jimmy and what somebody who "cares" would do. He cared enough to not want to see Jimmy succeed (in his Jimmy way) in the line of business that he worked so hard at, but nothing he really did ever showed much compassion for his brother—-just jealousy. When Chuck…

My read on Jimmy is that he feels bad, but just not enough to avoid doing such things in the first place when he can pretty much tell what is eventually going to happen. Flawed character and such.

Or he's going to be devastated when they dig his brother's corpse out of the rubble. Thats my read anyways.
