I have a real problem with the idea that as a condition of a plea, sentencing consideration, or any other inducement, that you have to acknowledge actual guilt. We know innocent people can be convicted, and the first thing they use against you to try and keep from reversing convictions is the fact that you admitted…

I often like to say that if you don't think power corrupts, you've never met a manager at a fast food restaurant.

"And instead I was given half an hour of largely passive conflict between Hector Salamanca and Gus Fring, two people that Jimmy McGill has never even met."

It's not how much they interact, as much as it is the worlds they inhabit. I think it's different to say you would tell the story differently, or think it could be told differently. Everyone has their preferences, but we knew what we were getting when you turned on the tv.

I think all the characters are intertwined. To tell one's story and leave another out, you'd have an interesting show, but not necessarily a good one.

Yeah, for me the best part was Mike assuring Jimmy he fixed the door right. Everything else was foreshadowing, and since we know where -if not why- it all comes crumbling down, it was a little sad. Well done all around, but sad.

I've seen a judge ask a defendant to apologize at a pretrial hearing. Without having been convicted of anything, and in open court, the judge admonished someone for not being apologetic enough. No one had the nerve to speak up and remind her that's not how it's supposed to work.

I don't care that much about Brenda Song's character one way or another. Though I will agree that since they spent parts of two episodes creating a context where her character mattered, they probably shouldn't be so quick to dispose of her. I'm pretty sure though that the thing we all wish NBC hadn't shown in the…

I'm not sure how much of that is the audience being wary of the will they/won't they dynamic and how much is it doesn't fit into this show naturally. Most shows don't do this kind of thing very well, but they almost all feel forced to. Personally I think the actors have great chemistry and the characters fit very well…

I thought the nicest writing in the episode was when Bo went from his usual self to polite young man as he moved from table to table greeting guests.

I actually liked that they only hinted at the Summer/Josh romance. I think it would've been a distraction from the trial to go into it too much in a 13 episode season.

I think the rules should be that you can be forgiven if you were too young, but it you should've known better going in, then it's your own damn fault and not the movie's.

Another horrible movie might pop into my head with time, but the two that instantly came to mind were Judge Dredd and Message In A Bottle.

Even if he was wrong, he doesn't need to apologize…especially to the Anne Frank Center.

I saw a Gerard Butler movie once…….ONCE!

I'm not a fan of the Germany reference, but I'm also not very impressed with people falling all over themselves to be offended every time it comes up because all they can remember that far back is the Holocaust. Seems to me that both sides use Nazi Germany like they use everything else, as a blunt instrument to beat…

^THIS^

Yeah, maybe it's a bit much, but then again, so are the complaints in the article above.

Thank you!

Can someone give me the gist of the 9/11 storyline from season 1? What did Axe do exactly?
