Pegg’s always had a bit of acting range to call upon, but I reckon his role in The World’s End is probably the best thing he has done, acting-wise ...

I think Coco might have my favourite virtual-camerawork of any Pixar film; there are a few scenes where they just exploit the hell out of it’s potential ..

Just to clarify, this is the same Syndrome who tried to kidnap a baby, would’ve happily sacrificed his own girlfriend and murdered a bunch of people, right?

I’ve really gotta watch The World’s End again - bit overshadowed by the other Cornetto Trilogy films but I did enjoy it quite a lot first time around - Simon Pegg really excel’s in his role as Gary King (I think that was the character’s name), I was surprised at how far he took the part of a drug-addled man-child; it

excellent and thoughtful post.

Sorry but I disagree; I think the writers have deliberately sewn plenty of doubt as to the nature of Kim’s character and just what motivates her along the way - and evidently her recent experiences (thinking she may have lost Jimmy, then being threatened with a gun by Lalo in her own apartment) have triggered an

oh ok, looks like I misunderstood you, sorry - I Kim’s drift toward moral bankruptcy works well dramatically, and although I am invested in the characters I would rather hear/watch a great story than have them remain safe and therefore static .. personally ..

Just to be clear; I didn’t say Kim’s path was vigilantism for a noble cause (at all) - but I did say that she is willing to bend the law to suit her agenda.

I like that; thanks for the insight!

Thinking back to the beginning of the season. Did we ever get an explanation for the diamonds that Gene had stashed in the old Band-Aid box? Nope, we sure didn’t.

Jimmy will become Saul in order to save her, both from external threats and maybe herself.

This is not the first time Kim has been comfortable with taking the law into her own hands and twisting it to her will; the first hints of this line of thinking emerged toward the end of S4 - her arbitrary conviction that she is strongly positioned to judge just which ‘good causes’ are justifiably advanced by shady

Um, yeah nah - that’s not what happens.

wait, what? Walt didn’t try to rape Skylar in the pilot episode .. ?

A couple of reasons: firstly I like Mando’s portrayal, I’ve only ever seen him in a couple of things but he stands out (e.g. Orphan Black).

Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler as written by Gould/Gilligan writing room has become one of the more enigmatic female characters I’ve seen portrayed - she is such a great character, her motivations are sometimes opaque and yet always believably depicted - tonight was a rare example of Kim expressing her motivation via

IT was hard for me to even admit to myself how let down I felt by ROTJ as a 9yo kid - it just felt lazy and uninspired when compared to the first two releases.

is it in any way comparable with Red Dwarf? ... Yes; you ..

pretty much the whole series; I can recall him getting turfed out of quite a few gatherings ..

Larry’s racial faux pas seem out of character???
No way.
