I'm sure it's been pointed out 1000x in the comments, but I thought Forster's character made a neat bookend to his Jackie Brown bail bondsman character: one's a guy who guarantees that an accused criminal doesn't leave town, the other helps accused criminals to leave town. I like to think they're the same character,…

I actually read some similar speculation over at The Awl, in a piece that dubiously claims (facetiously probably, but I can't really tell) that the finale ends with the whole thing being a daydream Jesse has as a student in Walt's chemistry class. Fans would probably set fire to Gilligan's house if he actually ended…

"Our cinnamon buns are 99.1% diabetes!"

I think it'd be hilarious if Walt bought the gun so he could leave it, the ricin, and the Heisenberg hat in the trunk of Elliott's Mercedes, along with a new "confession" tape accusing Gretchen and Elliott of being behind everything.

In the Breaking Bad universe, those characters don't exist. That's why Todd saw absolutely nothing wrong with letting Jesse have a large paper clip and plenty of unsupervised time alone with his shackles.

It might have been more accurate to say that the culture leads men who look like Walt to feel entitled to rewards (whether they receive them or not). I feel white male privilege lies in the fact that men like Walt view respect and power as things that should naturally flow to them if they can just remove any obstacles…

I'm sure Plemons thinks about that from time to time, but then he probably just shrugs and resumes spanking naked 19-year-old swimsuit models with stacks of $100 bills.

AV Club will be 99.1% Breaking Bad comments.

Interesting — Saul ends up in Limbo, NE, and Jesse could be said to be in a kind of Purgatory. Where does that leave Walt?

I'm sure Badger and Skinny Pete will be shown doing ass to ass in the finale.

When there is no more room in Albuquerque…the dead will walk the earth.

I know it sounds crazy, but are these guys actually that bad (relative to other Breaking Bad villains)? I mean, they're undoubtedly horrible people and scary as fuck, but they haven't, for instance, killed people as cruelly or capriciously as Tuco (who beat his henchman to death for a minor flub), Don Eladio (killed…

I see three possibilities for the ricin:

@avclub-7b854e1c9778aa8ff839837766cf71d3:disqus The moment that struck an off note with me about that scene was the sketchy way Todd lured Andrea out onto the porch in front of him. The way he's like, "Jesse's in the truck over there, see? Riiight over theeeere…" while sidling behind her was so unsubtle and obvious…

In a way I guess the last 3 Dark Tower books are a sort-of sequel to Salem's Lot.

Are there plot summaries online for the Macao movies? I've only seen Lee Daniels' Macao so I've probably got some catching up to do.

Scott Meets Family Circus

But Armond White is at least entertaining. Dowd needs to make crazier film comparisons ("mawkish, big-budget agit-prop lacks the incisive cultural critique of Short Circuit 2's existential parable of postcapitalist empowerment") in order to truly walk in his hero's footsteps.

But a risible risotto.
