I predict that this post will get either one or two "likes."  Those will be either from "guest" or "cninja."

She was mauled so badly he thought she needed medical attention?  Kudos to him for offering, but I can't find much to like about this.

Yee Yee: I think you need to read the original comment again.  The author was commending the script writers for encapsulating the Skyler-hater viewpoint in Walt's speech — but it was something else, entirely, and highwayofdespair knows that.

How easily Walt Jr. became just like his father in the lying department.  He told the 911 operator that his father pulled a knife on his mother.

Definition of "troll":  The above, intentional spoilers, and "… look how angry you all are its great."

As someone who caught up on all five seasons just recently, I was glad to be able to read the review and comments after each episode without spoilers.  Please respect that.  Thanks.

I want to say things but it's too soon.

Or Toby in "Sweeney Todd."

Re "poison Lydia" — That would account for the careful exposition of how fussy she is about her choice of tea.

I found myself feeling a bit sorry for Lydia in the same way that I felt a bit sad for Lady Van Tassel (Miranda Richardson) in "Sleepy Hollow" (another controlling femme fatale).  Lydia thinks she's pulling all the strings but she has no idea what fate she has invited upon herself.

I found it unavoidable to do both.  At the same time.

A sad thought — Mike's skepticism when Walt and Jesse first introduce him to "barreling" (with Victor) and Jesse's weary and cynical response: "Trust us."

(From the future) … or roller disco.

A late observation I don't think was mentioned:  the surgical nature of the cut.  It wasn't the classic ear-to-ear slash audiences have come to expect; it was a precise slash directly over the carotid.  (And then, as others have noted, the victim was held upright, for maximum effect.)

Speaking from the future … I've read all of the comments; great discussion.  But one thing struck me that I don't think has been mentioned:  pain meds.

@avclub-8f000234c91b39310f3b53529587b5f9:disqus  :  Your comment reminded my that Peggy wrote the book on "marking your man" with lipstick, in an earlier campaign (Belle Jolie?)  She marked Ted up good with both lipstick and perfume.

It is a great line.  It also brought to mind,

When Don said, "I love Hershey!" he truly meant it.  I think that a Hershey bar is his version of "Rosebud" — an icon from his past around which was centered what little happiness he could find.

Smiles … there are some great ones in this, especially regarding timing.
