Where would Don be professionally and financially if Cutler had succeeded in dismissing him? I thought that the original terms were that he agree to a buyout or that he accept the odious terms for continued employment, and that if he failed to comply, he would forfeit his partnership and all that that represented. …

I thought Don's later congratulations were fitting and respectful, too: I believe it was, "They heard what I heard."

"Two cans of beer?!"

So … who will visit Ginsberg in the hospital? Don had sussed out what was up with Peggy and paid her a memorable hospital visit (even though his comments were about putting things behind her). Both Don and Peggy have ties to Ginsberg.

There are larger themes of sin and redemption being presented, imho.
Don punched the hellfire preacher in the bar but he also remembered the
message of redemption delivered by the passing preacher at the
whorehouse (and how his message was rejected). Even the Hershey episode was about a longing for the redemption…

"A robot?"

What surprise? A grenade that Carol picked up and set aside when she was doing his laundry? Been there, done that.

I would post-haste select the "like" button upon this, but, alas — the word is "monocle."

I also think that, at the time, Tyrese had little idea how brutal the illness was and how fast it overcame people. He was cheerfully bringing flowers to Karen, as though he was visiting someone with strep. Later he would have seen how fast the symptoms progressed, and he knows how close the group was to losing Sasha…

Barbara takes the car, at first. Then she crashes into a tree. That was a clever move to disguise the fact the the Streiner family car had been in an accident before they could shoot that scene. She continues on foot.

As the camera was panning through the house, I said to my daughter,
"dumpster-decorated." A moment later, Daryl echoed my comment. Nice job, set designers. Our little band has been in so many spotless, lovely homes that the minute I saw the table and chairs I knew that something else was up here. From the country…

Rigghhht … no hot guys here. Nothing to see, move along …

Is it conceivable that Eugene didn't "accidentally" kill the truck?

In which case he was borrowing from his father again, as Rick used the piglets to lure the walkers away from the fences.

The only problem I have with that theory is that Michonne and Andrea didn't know that everyone turns once they die, even if not scratched or bitten by a walker. The murder-suicide is most plausible — but how, then, would she not have known that everyone turns?

I thought it was an excellent episode, especially in terms of characterization. Carl was doing things an adolescent would do, with all of the gracelessness and pointless bravado (and ultimate humility) that go with that. Michonne went with an old survival tactic and came to the realization that survival alone wasn't…

Not the best capture, but this is the scene I was thinking of. Wilson's appearance has changed but his voice hasn't.

A small but memorable moment, to me, was when Hershel (Scott Wilson) said, "You people … " in almost exactly the same inflection he had used nearly a half-century earlier in "In Cold Blood" (in the "tattoo" speech). I thought for sure that it was intentional.

- edit - On second watch, my observation didn't hold up.

I nominate this for the most succinct (yet poetic) summation  of "Breaking Bad" I've read anywhere.
