    Champagne Supernova is good.

    Agreed. The first Hostel movie is much smarter than people seem to be willing to give it credit for.

    I have this philosophy toward pop music of "Everybody Gets One", where any artist, no matter how much I might dislike the vast majority of their work, has the potential to record one undeniably good song. I put a playlist together a few years ago:

    I don't know if I agree with Alex Jones on anything or not, because I don't know what any of his beliefs are. I know the insane shit he spouts on his show, but I don't think he really believes it. He's a pro wrestler, but instead of a ring he has a desk and a microphone.

    The Matrix is a perfect movie, and the sequels are vastly underrated.

    But that would mean there's such a thing as too much shitting on Alex Jones, which obviously there isn't.

    If Gone Girl counts as an airport novel, then I really need to read more airport novels because that book knocked my goddamn socks off. The movie is good, but it doesn't quite match the sucker-punch cruelty of the book.

    Jesse might be hiding out up in Alaska, but he's not running a "Snowmobiles, Bitch!" shop or anything. Dude is gonna be constantly looking over his shoulder no matter where he goes.

    Mike's method of getting traces of drugs on Hector's truck was the first time I didn't completely buy one of his crazy MacGyver plans. Unless there was ZERO wind that day (and I don't know how windy it gets in the Mexican desert in midday), it didn't seem like there was a way he could be sure the powder would land on

    That would be nice, but out of character for these shows. These people don't get happy endings.

    Bill's assistant: Bill, do you want to record a farewell to your viewers?

    Both of those things are encouraged by NewsCorp's HR department.

    There's another angry old asshole in a position of undeserved influence with a history of abusing women. Can we get rid of him next?

    That's a shame.

    I had a whole long thing written out, but what it boiled down to is that Chuck isn't Walter White, he's Frank Grimes. He resents Jimmy's "failing upwards" success trajectory, and it's going to get him hurt, or worse.

    Gus is a guy comfortable with running his operations out of a fast food joint and an industrial laundry, two places with dozens of people around all the time. He's careful, but still willing to conduct his business out in the open.

    I figure Napsack Guy put his bag on the floor so Gus could discreetly sweep the cash into the dustbin, then Victor showed up later to bring the money back to the cartel guys. This show is too good to use Victor as a simple "Hey look, it's that guy!" cameo.

    But we saw Victor driving away a little bit later (might have been several hours later), which makes me think the drop took place.

    Agreed 100%. The scene from last week where Mike is switching out the tracking device and draining the battery on the old one was a perfect example of this. Not a word of dialogue for several minutes, and I had to watch the scene 2 or 3 times to figure out exactly what the hell Mike was doing, but scenes like that are

    That was the drop. Gus swept the cash into the dustpan. They didn't come right out and show it, but since Napsack Guy got up and left right after that I can only assume that was the drop.
