No sure sure. He feels that way, but underneath… You don't get that sick without a lot of contradictory things in your head.

My boyfriend laid it out: Chuck's condition is (was) self-punishment. It's his personal hell for the way he's treated his brother, whom he secretly (long ago) loves. RIP, wow.

grr. argh.

Mostly the mojo thing — if you don't have it, if you aren't certified by the PTB, you only *think* you're taking part in the discussion. Big drag. Pointless. It's why I bailed from io9.

I guess Disqus is the Betamax of commenting systems. Kinja's fairly lame. I wonder if this will be moderated or not? God I hope not — waiting for one of the editorial staff to grant you mojo on a Gawker board is a major annoyance. Basically not worth it.

Well, that's a drag. Found the link: http://www.businessinsider….

I don't think the ever-multiplying storylines are all going to resolve. We get like 5 new characters every episode. At this rate every person in North America (and in Buenos Aires) will be portrayed. My fervent hope is we don't end up with a Damon Lindelof-style "Ha ha! There are no answers, only questions! Ha HA!".

I wouldn't mind them hurrying it up though.

It makes him Not Nice, this is true. I draw the line quite a bit further—at least on a TV show, like, I'd not be okay with him cutting off her hand.

Bingo

We know Kim was exhausted. Maybe she also had a piece of wood messing with her brake line.

Eh, maybe not. A yellow light ascending into the sky isn't the same as a delicious plate of creamed corn and blood.

The way the story broadened out into still more channels makes me think there are going to be some loose ends at the end of 18 episodes. Or else 12-15 spinoffs.

I feel like maybe Chuck developed his "allergy" because he couldn't reconcile wanting to feel proud of Jimmy for being all Charlie Hustle (and in the Law of all things) with the deep loathing he feels for him at the same time for supposedly stealing from his dad.

After this episode, and so many people seemingly expecting Saul Goodman to be a merciless bastard like Walter White, I have to ask: what kind of person *is* Saul Goodman? And what kind of show is Better Call Saul?

He crossed a line that he hadn't crossed before: he was unapologetically *mean*. Twice.

I think Lydia knew about ricin because her character is the classic femme fatale a la Maltese Falcon: fearful and murderous. And as George RR Martin notes, "poison is a coward's weapon."

This is still Russell's best movie. Just watched it again tonight, it's still frigging hilarious. Maybe moreso now than when it was made because the stakes of the world seem higher—corporate encroachment on the environment backgrounded against a genuinely funny quest for meaning and purpose. A magical score. Dustin…

This.

That's in Perry Mason, but still hilarious.
