And wasn't Ryan herself the last spot loser the season prior? America doesn't like also-rans, even when they're blonde.

"Anybody else notice the big discrepancy in color between Limehouse's (fake) yellow top teeth and his pearly white bottom teeth?"

Yes! But all hesitant-like, cuz he's still mega creeped out by suddenly holding Quarles' SEVERED FUCKING ARM!

She was being sarcastic about the hummus. Her delivery was a little ambiguous, I had to play it twice.

Don't forget the king of this category: Vince Vaughn, and his crown prince Jason Segel.

Oooh, nice point. Now taking that into consideration, I think I still have the same quibble albeit with the reason slightly tweaked: less with the show per se than with the acting choices there for both. I've seen that scene played where denial was conveyed better, so the effect was more "No, this can't be happening…

One VERY minor quibble about an ep that made me gasp out loud more than once: I hate that tired trope wherein a series of symptoms are described, and then later when one of our heroes starts to exhibit them, they fail to connect them immediately with the problem at hand.

Probably the least funny ep I've seen, but I'm still working my way through S2.

"Jerry! He's smoothin' it!"

Beyond the already well-commented not goodness of this one, did Alyson Hannigan seem especially off to anyone else? No one seemed to be really on their game, but all of Lily's line readings felt utterlyforced and fake and weird! I found myself staring at her face and mouth trying to figure out what was wrong. It was…

BOC is never pointless.

Totally agreed.  About the only thing I did like.

I think Bateman is a pretty decent analogy. I mean, the man was talking to his son while in the room with a tied up hostage (that appeared female to me, but Scott says male).  That is more than gun thug, more than crime lord, that is straight up psychopath…. in a great suit.

According to Sepinwall's review over at Hitfix, yes. The non-LeGros flunky's character name was Wally Beckett, and there is a Breaking Bad writer named Moira Walley-Beckett.

And you sound like a mega-asshole.

@Tronz:twitter :  Instead of a fist pump pulling downward, like you're aggressively mimicking a trucker blowing their horn, which I think is the more standard procedure…
Imagine a fist pump going up and outward, towards the heavens, with all the power of my fat-ass behind it.

I know what Gilligan's stated evolution for his lead character is, so I know that that him being an anti-hero at best (as opposed to an outright hero) is pretty much what's intended.  And we also know intellectually (and in fact Gilligan has also said this) that Jesse is closer to the soul of the show, despite being…

OMG, skip it.  It was only ever the lightest of confections anyway, and it quickly evolved into totally pointless.

Sorry I'm late with my reply to the questions my comments raised, but just in case you all still see this: the ep I'm recalling has George & Jerry at the diner discussing George's unusually successfully interlude with a woman. (I think it's either the cleaning lady or the real estate chick.) George says something…
