Yes and yes. I love how Skyler is the opposite of Carmella Soprano. Skyler is as egotistical and resourceful as Walt, and its fascinating seeing what happens when smart people are put under pressure.

That plot point is starting to feel like a Pulp Fiction "What's in the case?" scenario. We may never find out specifically what he was up to in Chile, only that it was so important and dangerous the Mexican mafia won't touch him.

This is why they need an Emmy award for ensemble casts.

I think one reason Gus' back story is pretty important to the whole Breaking Bad plot is it helps explain why he didn't just have Jesse killed two seasons ago instead of tolerating his fuck-ups, drug abuse, etc.

The Three Cleaning Women
I was dreading that those three women Walter hired to clean the lab were going to get a lot worse than a bus ticket back to Honduras. As we all know, Gus isn't shy about killing people who mess up for whatever reason.

Dear Fox…
I've got a new show for you. It's called "Word Up, Yo!" All I've got right now is the title, but go ahead and send me a check. Or better yet, a burlap bag with a "$" painted on it, full of cash. That would be "dope!" I used that word correctly, right?

After all these years, I still want to punch Kennedy in the face. Hard.

Nope.
Applegate, Arnett, and Rudolph are great choices to star in a comedy show, but this one ain't it. This isn't a a sitcom, it's an idea for one episode of a sitcom. And it violates one of the basic rules of TV comedy right off the bat - babies aren't funny. I give this show 6 episodes max.

The Thing About Jerry Lewis
From what I can discern, Jerry Lewis is the most hated performer in the history of American entertainment. NOBODY in the business likes him. Every so often I'll read a an article about the life of an actor or stand-up comic who worked with or around him, and every one is sure to include…

Of course the Oscars still matter.

Nu-Metal might be the worst thing American music has ever produced. Take the loudest, dumbest, and most violent parts of rap and metal, mix them up with anti-social idiocy disguised as "rage," and market it to middle-class college-age white boys. Thanks, Big Record Labels!
