I hear the director’s cut of ST:TMP adds 40-minutes to the Enterprise fly by scene. Can’t wait!

The irony of course is that they will almost certainly replace her with an identical character.
It could be because she’s a lesbian. It’s happened that way to other characters in the L&O universe.
Dead Brett can get shot, too.
It has always amazed me that WB thinks its audience is too damn stupid or confused that superheroes can’t be played by different actors in different media...OMG Im so confused that Carvill isn’t voicing this Xbox game?! Who is this superman, shut it down, shut it down. Im scared.
I think he was just showing everyone what a great con man he is and get them to lower the sentence. A power flex. The fact he was able to fearlessly say all of that in the way that he did to someone with a direct connection to one of Walter White’s victims is to give everyone a glimpse of what he was could do in a…
I saw it as him giving Marie what she actually needed, an obvious bad guy who was still alive to face the full consequences of everything that went down.
For my money, Das Boot has the single greatest piece of music in any war film. It just makes you want to get up and get things done.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” Kurt Vonnegut said that. I’d argue that the finale made the argument that Bob Odenkirk’s character wasn’t Jimmy McGill or Gene or Saul. He’s all of them. Only in prison did he achieve his final, integrated form — part Jimmy, part Gene,…
In the end, Bill Oakley went as we all knew him: trying and failing to be like Jimmy.
In the end, as we all expected, Better Call Saul was a show about a guy who adds 80 years to his prison sentence to impress a girl.
I really, really love how bittersweet those final moments are. Such an amazing balance. The cold harsh reality that Jimmy will likely die in prison, the emotional outpour as he confesses to causing Chuck’s suicide, that slightly proud moment where the prisoners rally around him, and then that incredible final scene…
Loved the prison bus scene.
Which makes the fact that, even in his big redemptive moment, Jimmy makes it clear that the Great and Mighty Heisenberg was actually, for the most part, haplessly out of his depth and would have wound up dead in a ditch or in a jail cell if not for Saul Goodman. One last little fuck you to Walter, it seems.
Indeed. I think it’s telling, too, that Jimmy remembers how even Walt had his number (“So you were always like this.”).
Oh, could be. By “take Walt’s side on everything” I was thinking more of how much shit Skyler (and Anna Gunn) seemed to always get from some of the more toxic members of the fandom.
I think it was also fitting how Saul remembers the worst parts of Walt. It's stark contrast to Jesse remembering a largely happy meeting with Walt in the ending of el camino. Saul has good reason to remember to worst of Walter. Jesse had his issues with Walter, but he also had a lot of good left in his memories.
One of the most underrated things about this show is those masterfully done opening titles steadily degrading in video quality each season. Because it symbolises the central theme of the series. A man constantly rewatching video tapes of his glory days, obsessed with that fake saul persona from the commercials, trying…
“You never know with good behavior.” No matter how many wrong, selfish decisions one has made in their life, there is always room for growth. You have to accept the repercussions of your past, of course, but what solace comes out of any situation if you don’t see the opportunity for growth in it. Some people never…
Not sure how much those diamonds were worth, but when he dropped them in the dumpster, it reminded me of that guy in the UK who wants to dig up a landfill to find his hard drive with hundreds of millions in BitCoin on it.
