Reva is great. As far as I’m concerned, she’s the best thing to come out of this series. I can see why some don’t care for her, but I love her OTT malevolence. The character hasn’t been well served by the writing, but I think Reva has a lot of potential and I hope (expect) that she comes back in another show/movie.

I was thinking the same thing a couple of episodes back. Not that there haven’t been some great visuals, but so many moments that should feel epic look cheap and lackluster instead. The whole thing has a rushed, sloppy quality, and every time I start to get into it, I stumble over a bit of bad writing/acting that…

Yeah, it makes no sense, but clearly she’s being saved to come back in some future show/movie.

Martyrs.

Someone introduce them to Martin Shkreli so we can complete the unholy triumvirate!

I think Better Call Saul evades the prequel trap by treating Breaking Bad as a sequel to its story. It isn’t written like it’s simply a supplement to the “real” story, but tells a bold, vital story of its own, that in some ways has eclipsed BB. Hopefully this show has similar ambitions. 

I would love a Star Wars version of Michael Clayton. 

I like Diego Luna, but could not muster a shred of interest in Andor. I enjoyed Rogue One more as a collection of ideas than a film, though, so I’m looking forward to seeing if the character fares better in different hands (and more favorable circumstances).

Yeah, there was a lot that I enjoyed about the movie—mostly the striking imagery—but overall it was a mess. SO much time spent planet-hopping, each instance bookended by increasingly tedious shots of starships taking off and landing. Characters who seemed super cool in theory but were mostly flat and rarely…

He does have the facial expression of someone for whom it’s just sunk in that he’s Kevin Spacer’s lawyer.

He was so terrifying as the unhinged ex-husband in Something Wild that I still remember it as a violent thriller rather than a screwball romantic comedy.

Jesus, you’re not kidding. I’m not sure this material can even be called pornography. You have to be human to get off to porn, and this is a degree of evil that has lost touch with anything resembling humanity. 

It’s too bad he didn’t do anything that would cross the line with these people, like support reproductive rights.

When you get down to it, Lalo is responsible for Howard’s death, period. If we’re going to blame Kim and Jimmy for being the indirect cause, then we may as well include Gus, Mike, Nacho, Hector, and everyone else connected with the cartel.

Probably the biggest surprise of this season has been Howard’s rehabilitation, as we see more of his personal life and appreciate how hard he tried to improve himself and do better. (Literally every character on the show should follow his lead and get into therapy.) Let’s not forget though, that Howard was trying to…

The soda can trick I was taught was to tap the top of the can a few times before opening. It works—but only because you’re giving the soda time to settle down. The tapping does nothing!

Don’t forget the “Young Gus in Chile” prequel. That’s actually the one I wish they’d make, given the intriguing bits they’ve dropped over the two series. 

100% chance that Jimmy used to shake up Chuck’s soda cans!
