The like/not like this movie debate is exhausting. What the real take-away that could be discussed is how Kathleen Kennedy & Co have apparently promised future trilogies (kinda willy-nilly) to 4? 5? different filmmakers that were hot for a hot minute and then fizzled. D+ and The Mandalorian happened and focus shifted

Snore-grunt. Mm Leia... so warm.

Agree. Between episodes, it might be logical for viewers to conclude Viserys and Alicent would sleep together, but after they established a 6 month gap had occurred and showed the characters’ body language in the model-building (hobby?) room, it was clear they hadn’t gone that far yet.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if the Devil wasn’t living in Ohio. Somewhere near the Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan tristate border, I reckon. Jim Jordan seems like a likely suspect.

I put this guy in the same bucket as David Dastmalchian - heirs to the Christopher Walken/Jeff Goldblum weird-energy mantle. One or both is going to earn a Supporting Actor Oscar nom in 7 to 10 years.

Everyone! Please step back from the corpse of Tim Burton. Give us some space.

The meta-ness of the time machine thought experiment and the show actually being a time machine into Jimmy’s life - and the fact that they didn’t crack you over the head with it, feels subtly brilliant. (Or they did actually crack us over the head with it, but what a velvet hammer it was.)

I had the same thought. If the show gets cancelled, then the 4 season plot becomes a giant loop and like with the rest of us sentient saps here on Earth, the Sublime is unknowable. You get a peek... and then: whoop! It’s closed. And to be fair, I’m hopeful for a season 5 because they’ve set the bar pretty high for

They do give good montage.

Did we ever get resolution on Mike’s Daughter-in-law and granddaughter? Can’t remember if she was one of the ones Walter set up in the BB final stretch with the billionaire couple (or if/how he kept Mike’s final wishes intact). I also don’t remember if Stacey found out Mike had died. (I never did a BB rewatch, so my

I wonder now if the years on the dog-urn were the timeline for the whole show.

He played it like he was tweaking, so I’m good with it.

Kim busted out crying on the airport shuttle... cut to: Soccer themed VW ad = fart noise.

That’s a great clip. Is that original sound?

I am both envious of and happy for future binge-watchers of this show who will be able to watch these last b&w episodes with no commercials. I didn’t know the show’s title until just now, (good title btw) but it could easily have been “Breaking Bad part 2" because Gene really, for a second there, both considered using

Now playing

Xanadu was a bad movie with a great soundtrack. Dancin’ was my favorite. This must have been shot for Night Flight or one of those late night music variety shows that flourished for a few years before MTV won out. Also this is one of The Tubes best songs. Yes the “male” side of the song hasn’t aged well, (not

Aw, I love that song.

The survivors might be up on the theory that a copy-of-a-copy can potentially have some residual human left within; either a lot or a little. On the other hand, yeah, Frankie has been burned already several times with copies. Also Caleb might have a heel-turn coming up because after Hale killed him last week, she

I read this reply in Michael Keaton’s voice, and if it’s you dude, I apologize. I wont know what this movie will be or would have been. I do still love you as Batman and hope you get more work under the cowl. Batman Beyond maybe? WB seems like a couple tires blew off the bus. Hang in there.

Yeah, I liked it better than I thought I would. It’s aware of its own cheesy-ness and indulges in that. It felt a little over-edited too. Maybe it was over-scripted on the other hand. Eight or ten characters had backstories that either needed fleshing out, or shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Stacked cast,
