Another teleporting enemy? Great, now we need Mack more than ever!

My takeaway from this episode more than anything else is how gorram high the joke density on this show usually is.

Totally true, and I wasn't directing that at you specifically.

We've arrived at a pretty cynical place when the only options for a franchise movie are "killing off all of your main characters" or "feeling episodic."

Sounds like someone forgot about The Spongebob Squarepants Movie.

I remember that happening, I'm just saying that it isn't the source of the danger (and also lasts, like, two seconds). Same for Thor, where I assume the Bifrost is what's being referred to.

I haven't seen most of those either, but there are at least a few that are stretching it. Iron Man, the first Thor, I don't remember one in DoFP.

You're right about the first one for sure. I think in the second one Electro just shut off all the city's power or something.

Discussion Question: How many superhero movies actually DO have a big beam of light and/or hole in the sky?

Well, no, A tape was destroyed. As always, Chuck is being the biggest dick imaginable while not technically breaking the law.

Well, to be fair, when I turned on the TV, I was sitting down to watch Better Call Saul, the show about how corner-cutting but good-hearted mailroom clerk Jimmy McGill transformed into shady douchebag lawyer Saul Goodman.

Because if there's one thing that was a hallmark of Breaking Bad, it was the non-stop, balls-to-the-wall action.

That's kinda the thing, though. He isn't tangled up with them. When we meet Saul, Mike is a guy he can call for favors (a.k.a. the current status quo) and Gus is someone he's heard about that he's pretty sure Mike knows (a.k.a. the current status quo). Aside from Jimmy continuing to hire Mike for some odd jobs - which…

Hector doesn't really win, though, so much as he makes Gus lose along with him.

The fact that Mike and Jimmy have only interacted twice this season - and not very much last season either - is pretty good evidence that they aren't all intertwined.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen someone give the director credit for an idea that was clearly baked into the screenplay from the first draft…

Resigned upvote.

I would never ever put cheese on any other kind of fish (let alone a friggin' Kraft Single), but in this one incredibly specific instance I actually think it works.

"No, Kara. Don't feel bad. You were absolutely right to run off to that bunker after the bad guy grinned and told you to your face that you'd regret it if you did."

Ooh, that's good. He's on tape confessing to the entrapment the same way Jimmy's on tape confessing to the fraud. And he doesn't even have the "I just wanted to make him feel better" defense that Jimmy does.
